Ani and Ana

Live from LCCT

2 gadis selenger didapati berlegar-legar di LCCT tanpa arah tujuan..

Surau as our bunglow to take a nap and pray. And Starbuck as our cyber cafe for surfing internet.

Early in da mornin we had our first hot chocolate. Just to waste time actually. Another 12 hours to go for our mission.phewwwww!!!!!

Lesson to learn, check your ticket properly..don't be like us. Stuck for 19 hours for another connection flight.

We decided to stay at Starbuck until evening. Sudah chop kerusi empuk.. Sayang nak tinggal..hahahha..ini lah sikap pengguna yang tak bertimbang rasa. Sila jangan follow sifat buruk ini..

Both of us are super busy women. We don't have time to stay and discuss together before the trip. So we spend this extra time to discuss our itinerary. Ana with her LonelyPlanet reference and me with my internet source. We combined and choose the best destination for us.

Study until reach the limit. Time exam pun tak rajin macam nih..hahaha.. Jom lah stop makan dulu. We take our lunch at Food Garden food court LCCT..too hungry!!!!

1600!!!! Yahoooo!!! Time to check in...dah mobile check in sbenaq nya pagi pagi tadi...

Day 1
On the day arrived, my friend and I straight away to Pham Ngu Lao Street, District 1 and check in at Saigon Backpacker's Hostel . I booked this hostel from Agoda website. The accommodation quite comfortable for us. And lucky we met new friend (same home town with us) in the plane and he bring us to our hostel by his company car. He also suggest some places in Vietnam to visit.Thanks a lot to him.

Private Room

Clean Toilet

After take a rest, we plan to walk along district 1 area for dinner and looking for travel agent. Yes this is really backpacker's area as mentioned in Lonely Planet (LP). A lot of foreigners from all over the world. One of the reason district 1 famous amongst backpackers is because of the location, close to the bars. Finally, we found The Sinh Tourist (recommended by LP). We discuss our plan trip and let them give the best suggestion for us. So, we booked the whole Vietnam trip include guest house. Yehaaaa...The trip are done!!!!
