BIG HELLO TO ALL READERS (: I'm back from my school's Vietnam trip.ENJOYED alot :D very happy to have the experience and to be back in Singapore now. Okay, i shall start talking about Vietnam, i guess?

Vietnam is VERY different from Singapore.. The traffic is super chaotic ! I'm damn serious. If the accident rate is high, I wont be surprise. If you're in Vietnam, you'll appreciate Singapore's govt for giving fines to those who didn't obey the rule. SERIOUS. the way they drive is like CRAZY! when we wanted to cross the road, we need Tony (Vietnam tour guide) to help us through. The minute we cross the road, every BIKE would HORN at us ! When we're crossing, the bike just continue to drive pass us, and it was freaking close to us. Same goes to the cars and buses. The traffic isn't effective at all. You wont be able to spot much traffic lights either. The mode of transport for the Vietnamese are almost motor bikes, VESPAS. There were many different designs of vespas which they customize themselves .. And ohya, it'll flood easily when it rains. The drainage systems ain't good at all..well, Vietnam is obviously still developing i guess .. And globalisation indeed has made the rich people richer, and the poor people poorer .. its very sad okay. And i hope the rich people would do some kind deeds .. Alright, i guess this is an overview of what I've saw in Vietnam.. Now let the pictures do the talking (:
