we reached airport early at slightly before 12 for our 2pm flight.
mummy needs to do some spot of shopping @ DFS.:D
we had a quick tea break at coffee & toast before going through the immigration.
and I must have shopped for quite some time for the next thing I know after I made payment, it's only 30m before take-off time..
well, it's good shopping for I bought (almost) absolutely nothing from HCMC. @_@

Jetstar took off on time and we reached hcmc around 3pm (hcmc is 1 hour behind SG).
found a cab in a jiffy and we reached Sofitel in 15m or so.
by the time we were ready to move out to explore, it was still pretty early at 4+pm.
we tried looking for food but there are no cafes in sight when we ventured out but coffee bean.. LOL.
so we settled for that to fill the hungry tummies of the boys.
food for the boys
from our hotel, it is only a short 10-15m walk to Saigon square 2.
but it's really not our cup of team so we were in and out in less than 30m.
the rest of the evening was better spent trying to hunt down a decent dinner venue for us.
as the night fell fast, we quickly settled for an authentic looking jap restaurant.
but the menu presented to us revealed a mix mash of cuisines (jap, Korean, chines etc). @_@
we had bbq - kobe beef, pork belly etc for dinner. it wasn't really ex ~ US$50 for 4 of us.
but I thought for this price, I can get better food in bali....like much better.
ok, maybe it's just the wrong restaurant.
and it started drizzling when we walked back to hotel, so we doubled our steps and reached the comforts of our room slightly after 8+pm.
not too bad for a slow day 1!
as for the DFS shopping, im very pleased with my purchases. all the more after im back and knowing that those are almost the only things I bought for this trip...
