So what if I am a tourist?

I made two Ao yai at Ho chi mingh city.
Ao yai, is the vitenamese traditional costune for woman.
One cost Us $ 17.50 the other cost Us $20

BOTH ARE OVER PRICED.
I am aware of that, but there is no way they are charging me the local price.

And why?
Because i am a tourist.

Local price is Us $ 9. According to my vietnamese friend.
What a difference.

Nha Trang City

2 bad experience.

One is the bus earlier on.

The other, is the hotel room with overdose air refresherer...
I am allergy to air refresherer....and all sorts of perfume and deordorant....
any kind...that my nose can detect makes me sneeze...
I was on the verge of suffocationg....and now, a bad sore throat and headache from the bad bus ride and horrible air refreshed room...

What a day...

Of all my days travelling for so many years, today is the only one I wish I am at home.

Where am I?

I was taking the 8pm bus to Muine yesterday. Supose to reach Muine by 12 midnight. At around 1.30am, the bus finally stop at a weird bus carpark quietly. No one came up the bus to tell anyone where we are now..or if we are suppose to get down. A lot of people get up and down, on and off throughout the journey and made the whole bus ride confusing.

I wonder again and again, time to time if that should be the stop I should alight.
Then i hesitated.
It was 1.30am, no one is on the street.
I suppose there should be a busier stop the bus will eventually stop for me to alight and find the boys.

2.30am.
The bus is speeding on a lightless road.
I have a bad feeling I have overshot Muine.
I resign my fate and when to sleep.
It was a horrible ride especially there is a inconsiderate lady who brought her dog along on the bus and block the bus aisle with the dog cage, at the expense of everybody's inconvenience.



3am.
We get down to bus for a short break, I ask the driver where we are heading...
Nha trang...
That is the stop after Muine.

Shit.

6.30am.
Reach Nha Trang city.
The first hotel we stop, I checked in.
I dun want to end up in the next city again if i dun alight now.
What a bad experience.
Really bad communication and coordination.
No one inform us of our location or destination.
If we are traveller , it means we have never been to that place, and how else can we tell if we reach if no one tell us where we are.

They assume we know when we should alight.
Maybe I am just not smart enough to ask.
But then again, 1.30am in the middle of the night....
I just dun feel like getting down the bus at that place that moment of time...
Especially when my mobile has no network and not working...

Just my luck.
