Beauty of Vietnam - Day 3

We finally arrived at Da Lat around 3+am. Went down the bus to stretch my legs and got a shock from the coldness!! I wrapped my blanket around me..which was still useless! Shivered like hell.. thus retreated back on the bus... while some of them had a cup of hot coffee at a nearby makeshift stall.

We checked into our hotel..supposed to bathe becoz we din get to shower since day 2 morning. but the heater wasnt really working! Imagine.. its cold enuff..!! plus showering in ice cold water!

View from our room

the streets

HAIS, regretted like hell that i din bring a single long pants... all shorts!!!!!!!! wore my longest shorts... roomie was nice.. she had a pair of jeans.. but she wore shorts with me. bear the cold together!

We reached our first activity of the day: Conquer Langbiang Mountain!

Saw a horse and a 'zebra'!
can sit on it and take pics!

Viewing palace was quite boring..not very magnificent or impressive inside.

Next stop: Waterfall~!

but thanks ah.. my arms a bit short..i bend until very tired still cant go down fully... and poor daniel was so close behind me.

down to the waterfall!


the cheerleading vibes got into us again..

That night, we got to shop!! ah.. however, with limited cash, din get to buy much.. n the stuff there r all winter stuff.. only bought a couple of scarves!

Got to cycle around a nice lake! Scary leh.. i was very confident in roomie de.. den she couldnt really balance.. coz she nv double bike b4 omg! super helpless feeling..haha.. ah.. first time i was so scared on a double bike..wanted to change liao.. good thing in the end we managed to paddle safely..


The night's activities ended with a round of drinks! I drank hot milk.. while e others drank beer, coffee, etc.. hahaa.. feel so innocent sia.. i was planning to go to bed early that night!

in the end, i went to join 5 other guys in card games after shower while roomie went to drink with the ang mohs again.. hahaha.. first time i heard Gary speak lah!! Imagine.. he talked a lot somemore.. coz he was teaching us a hong kong game.. called italian bridge! wooo.. very fun.. n can play up to 7 people!

Finally went to slp at 3+am.. shacked out man. I laid on my side..and smelled something horrible.. like cat diarrhea.. eee.. wanted to ask roomie about it but i drifted off to slp before i could do tat..

btw, on the 4th day morning, roomie dropped her earrings n looked under the bed..guess what she saw? CAT DIARRHEA. -_-" wad the f**k............!!
