Stuff I discovered...

1. there are not much options on a place to stay that is close to the office. by close I mean 5-15 minutes of walking. i think the place where i'm staying now is good enough with USD18/day with free laundry and internet. yeah internet and cab fares are so cheap here!

2. i can find a really cheap place like USD 250/month but it's in a quite dodgy location, altho the owner claims it as a safe area. the room that we saw was quite nice, but i just dont feel good abt living there. less privacy.

3. there's a public swimming pool around the office area.

4. properties and cars are so expensive here. way more than malaysia.

5. meals at restaurants cost as much as in malaysia. probably slightly more expensive. so do electronics. but food at the lorong is so cheap. but i only found one halal lorong food so far.

6. i wish they have italk or sth similar..calling rates are so expensive. i got VND 100000 in my fon last nite, and i finished it in 10minutes talking to my mom. so it was like RM2.50 per minute.

7. pc to pc call (provided that both parties are at least with that 10Mbps connection) is free but so clear. no lagging. well maybe 1 sec. that's good enough for me.

8. pc to fon call is so not working for me yet. i can hear them, but they cant hear me. even if they do, it would be like 8 secs later. *frustrated*

9. i know what to buy my lovely nieces now - that cute cheongsam with pants. banyak sangat kat saigon tax. murah2.

10. pirated cds here are so much cheaper. vnd15000 per dvd ~ RM3.50. i bought godfather 1, 2, and 3 and 2 more. thana bought cerita 300 and all those ganas movies.

11. michelle told me abt this lavender coffee which is made of cats' poops because they apparently chose the best coffee beans..and i really need to know which one are they from the locals. i dont wanna eat no poops la..hope it's not the coffee ive had. they are so good!

12. there's a theme park, wet park, like half an hour away..will give it a try!

13. i miss him dearly...
