Planning
on writing a blog about my trip to Indochina for some times, but stuck on the
first line. Maybe it's because that was the least enjoyable trip I had so far.
Don't get me wrong, #Indochina is quite okay, but there are
some things that made me wary to go back there again.
Here
we go. Sep 19, 2011, There were we, 3 girls looking for some adventure in
Indochina, the destination are Vietnam and Cambodia, 2 of the famous countries
in Indochina. The first pit stop was Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Me and my 2
friend planned this trip since early 2011, we've booked all necessary things to
support our trip. By the time we arrived in HCMC, the sky is already dark so we
arranged a pick up from hotel. It cost us 15USD from HCMC International Airport
to our hotel in Pham Ngu Lao Street (PNL). PNL street is quite similar with
Jakarta's Jalan Jaksa, it's the backpackers district in HCMC. There were so
many tourist from all over the world stays in this area. We stayed in Nguyen
Khang Hotel (1*) for 2nights. We spent our first night strolling around the
district and look around for a nice “view”.
