Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, so the plan was actually to update about my trip but seriously I'm too lazy to upload the pictures. 880 pictures, well that's not alot but choosing and browsing them one by one is quite tiring. I've decided to explain it in theory if you can say that, if you find this to boring you may kindly leave.

Food:

We woke around 6am(Vietnam) Singapore would be 7am, and had breakfast. We had our meals for 2 weeks at the hotel because in Vietnam it's quite difficult to find halal food. Thankfully Melia Hotel is the only hotel in Hanoi that have halal food. The food was spectacular, you might think that 2weeks? hotel food? same old stuff? but no, we had different food everyday from Indonesian to Western to Japanese you name it they have it and the best thing, it's all room service but of course our parents cook up some Singapore food. Hey even though it was just 2 weeks we did miss our homies back home.

Shopping:

You could say that everything there is cheap, they have alot of imitations goods but there are some local store that sell clothes that are quite nice. The bargain there for my mum was the fabrics. I almost bought some velvet, because i really wanted to sew a dress out of it but my mum rejected my idea, boo. For some souvenirs we walk around to find stuff that look good to give our family and friends back home. We miss our homies back home very much.Then we went to the store name "METRO" it's almost like Giant except that if you want to enter you need a card that takes almost days to approve, thankfully my cousin has already apply for it and we could enter. That's were we bought our chips, candies, and seafood! OMG their seafood there is so cheap and big. Sad to say but during the whole trip the only thing i bought for myself was 2 pairs of sunglasses compare to my sisters they bought bags and bags of stuff. We had almost 10 boxes size luggages for our family alone, not counting our aunt and uncles. I bought for my fouryxs and WF some souvenirs. It's not that much but i really hope you guys like it!

Activities:

Other than shopping, eating, sleeping we swam almost everyday and sad to say i have grown darker, it was nice to swim and sun tanned everyday, it's very relaxing but the best part has yet to come. Thanks to our cousin husband who's a General Manager of the hotel all the accommodations at the hotel was for free. We went to the sauna, jacuzzi and had them all to our self and it's indoors so it's more private. We didn't had our swimming gears but thankfully there's our sports gears and they were allowed.

Sight-seeing:

The traffic there is very pack, even though there's road to cross there's no traffic light, so if there's vehicles passing by you just have to cross or you would die waiting because they won't stop. Of course you would think how is this possible but they would immediately stop upon someone crossing the road. I wouldn't say that the air there is clean but i did suffer from dry-skin and sore-throat and we couldn't drink the water from the tap unlike here in Singapore. It's much more safer to drink bottles water.

Overall:

It was a trip to be remember because it has been awhile since i travel with my family together. Like any normal trip there's bound to be set-backs issues but at the end of the day everyone had a great time. I would definitely thank my cousin for all this, i wouldn't see myself going to such country if she wasn't there but I'm glad i did because it's totally a whole new experience and it makes me appreciate Singapore much more.

I've upload all 880 pictures on my facebook so you could look at them there.
