Actually three of them intended to go Taiwan in the first place but since I went before so I was hoping to go somewhere else instead. =P And because due to most of us don't have that much of time or leaves, so we decided to go Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam in the end. =) (It's a budgeted trip but turned out to be a luxurious trip in the end, will tell you guys why in my coming posts! xD)
Before I write more on our 6D5N trip in Vietnam, here are some sneak peek of our trip! xD

| My favourite shot so far! =) |
* Mekong River (湄公河) *
Omg, I really missed the time we had there! It was really an amazing experience cuz this trip turned out to be better than what we've expected. Around a month back before our trip, there was some riot over there and we all were very worried that it might affected our trip but luckily nothing bad happened. *phew*
Honestly, I found that it's kinda hard to plan this trip at first, cuz I really have no idea about the places and how's the transport there, unlike last time when I went Taiwan, where I can get the informations from my other friends who went before and you can actually get the info from the internet easily.
Of course I must thank Connie who send all the travel posts on Vietnam from Cari Forum to me, all of the posts there really helped me a lot during my planning of the trip. That's why I hope my posts about my trip to Vietnam will be able to help those who wanna go for a free and easy trip in Vietnam. =) Below is the itinerary for our 6D5N in Vietnam:

Since our flight was early in the morning (7.15 a.m.), we decided to spend a night in airport. It was my second time spending night in airport, the first time was when I first travel to Singapore, I spent a night in LCCT before my flight to Singapore. =)
Alexis was coming down from KL to join us too. =) So while waiting for Connie and Keinth to arrive in airport, we took some pictures and some selfies too, haha! xD
While we were still waiting for both Connie and Keinth, we decided to walk around and spotted quite a lot of tourists were sleeping on the seats. (Can you spot them? Hehe~)
Finally they were here! We decided to take another "group-fie" while waiting, haha. xD Honestly, from the picture really can't tell that we were actually using the selfie stick to capture the photo, more like we asked someone else to take for us. xD
As for the air tickets, we bought a two-ways (round trip) tickets from Jetstar, depart from Singapore on 25th Jun 2014 at 7.15 a.m. and return from Ho Chi Minh on 30th June 2014 at 3.35 p.m. (Please take note that this is Vietnam timing), costs total of SGD 558 for 4 of us in total, which is SGD 139.50 per person for two-ways. =)
We didn't bought much luggages for check in as we thought that we might no need since many people said that there is not much shopping can be done in Ho Chi Minh. But it turned out that we were wrong! We bought 20kg for check in for departing and 30kg for returning. Some of you might have thought : Eh, quite a lot what.. NO, do note that for both 20kg and 30kg were shared by 4 of us, lol. So my advise is, better buy more cuz or else, when your check-in baggage/luggage overweight, it will be quite costly if you buy the extra weight on the spot. That's what happened to us! (Stay tuned for my next few posts to find out more. xD)
I guess that's all for now, at least for this post. Do looking forward to my upcoming few posts as I will blog about my trip to Vietnam in a few posts! =) (Hope my informations here able to help! ^.^)
Till then, annyeong! (Or should I said tam biet? Haha!) Xoxo, Phoebe. :)
