I was to leave for the airport at 11.30am. So I could actually do some stuff in the morning.
6am: Woke up and tune in to MTV. I need some music to stay sane.
7am: Went to Ben Thanh market to have my breakfast. Saw some noodles that I have not seen before and tried it. Not bad. 15,000D.
8.05am: Need my regular coffee break. Went to look for this chain of coffee joint - Trung Nguyen @ the corner of Thu Khoa Huan. Opened the door and there before you sat men who looked up and viewed you. Scary. ASked for menu. "No menu," said the waitress. Ok then. Coffee! It was smoky inside. After one hour of passive smoking, I was out.
9am: Proceeded to Fine Art Museum @ 97A Pho Duc Chinh Str (10,000D). Hardly impressive. I was out after 45 minutes.
So I decided to do the local thingy and went for a motorbike ride (5,000D) and went for a Vietnamese Traditional massage @Hotel 265, 265 De Tham, Pham Ngu Lao. It is my practice to have one before I leave the city/country. It was erm...quite torturous. I was trampled on and hit on the head. I came out of the place, feeling bruised :p US$9.
11.30am: Left for airport. Taxi driver drove recklessly and fast. I wanted to tell him that I was not in a hurry....
HCM City doesn't leave me with much lasting impression. Hmm...
