PS: Warn u guys first, this entry is really very Looong.....
Day 1 (23/Nov/09)
My first authentic bowl of beef noodle soup (Sadly not that fantastic)
When you see this in Vietnam along the way means there is beef noodles i think..
well.. along that line.
Mandy enjoying her noodles
The 2 that made the trip possible, Ms Mandy Tan & Her manager Kym
The shop was damn "retro" seriously
Our "transport" that chauffeured us around
Visited some bakery and bought some coconut tarts
Vietnamese like us have similar Taoism religious practice, i think i recall seeing a 'Tua Bey Gong' Alter at the bakery..
Day 2 (24/Nov/09)
Waiting for our Junk Boat to come and fetch us to the lovely Halong Bay. We started cam-whoring as usual to kill time. Lol!
