shopping, shopping and shopping
Today is a walking day for me....
Mummy and me took a train to city hall in the morning after sending didi to childcare. As it was still early, none of the shops were open. We walked to National Library, this is our first visit to the national library. We will be back on 1st Sep for 'The little green frog' show. So we go there to look out the place first.
It has 16 storey, we took the glass lift up to level 9, there is a cafe there too. snap a photo from there.
After roaming the library for awhile, we walked towards PS... on the way, we passed by Carlton Hotel, there is this big durian outside, the durian is much taller and fatter than me. They are having durian buffet promotion, the price is quite costly, we can use the dollars to buy many more durian.

Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam Day 1
Woke up at 4.30am in the morning, reached airport Budget Terminal at 5.45am
Our flight is 7.15am, Tiger Airway to Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City
About 2hrs flight, and landed at HCM airport, the airport is quite new, which is less than 1 yr old.
HCM is 1hr behind Sin. so is still early. We took a cab to our fotang, about 30min from airport.
After lunch, we check in to the hotel, which is about 5mins walk away. The one and only hotel that is nearest to fotang.
Daily is only 200K VND, eqv to $15.85 SGD, super cheap!
Of course the room is eqv to the rate lah... v simple.... 1 queen and 1 single bed. Bedsheet and toilet is not fantastic. Toilet got longbath but the heater spoilt.. only toothbrush is provided... anyway we are they to sleep only, most important is cheap
After dinner, we went to watch the Water Puppet Show
Puppetry is common throughout the world, but puppetry theatre of Vietnam on water is unique.
Water puppetry was developed in lake and pond-rich areas in the Red River Delta. The surface of water serves as the stage while spectators sit at the edge of water. The puppeteers both male and female stand waist-deep in the water to manipulate the puppets making them move about and even dance on the surface of the water. The water serves not only to hide the puppeteers and strings of the puppets but also to create a trembling stage full of reflection, while providing natural amplification for singing puppeteers accompanied by percussion music and fire crackers.
There is a slight technical breakdown before the show start.... overall is worth watching and really salute the puppeteers.
