The Person in Me

When I was there last June-July, I think it was the dry season with little rain. I don't really have any problem as Malaysia is as humid as Vietnam. I spent 5 days in Ho Chi Minh City (nee Saigon), stayed in the District 1 (not far from Ben Thanh Market and city centre). Flew up to Hanoi and stayed another 5 days in the Old Quarters. Didn't get the chance to go to Sapa (cooler air with higher altitude) maybe next time. Hanoi (Old Quarter)  Overall, I find Vietnam's foods are delicious and very healthy (with lots of bean sprout, mints, salad, soup and rice noodle) It is relatively cheap too. Oh yeah and one more thing, the locals would sit on a stool and small table by the roadside and dine. It is pretty unusual for me and I find it really unique! Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City

After a year, it has been a hectic/crazy year for me (June 2014 till now). Traveled around and met with beautiful souls, experienced wonderful places/cultures/foods. Was in Thailand (Bangkok and Chiang Mai) and Cambodia (Siem Reap) in June 2014 for about 2 weeks. Visited the famous Angkor Wat.  Then I had the honour to represent Malaysia in an Exchange Program to Oregon, the USA  in Oct-Nov 2014. I was there for about 3 weeks in Eugene, UO and had the opportunity to go to Portland. I flew from Kuching(Borneo Malaysia) 5am to Kuala Lumpur. Then, flew with Cathay Pasific (codeshare with Malaysian Airlines) to Hong Kong around 11am. Landed safely in Hongkong and flew with another Cathay at abour 6pm to Los Angeles. It was a long flight and I experienced jetlag for the very first time in NY life. Couldn't really sleep at night and was very sleepy around 9am! 2015, I didn't take part; well partly decided not to take
