Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

This is was the first flight for me to stay 3 hours at plane.. huaaa.. I think I will be bored at that flight.. But I still think positive to have fun at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam..
Dec, 04, I am going to Airport by Damri Bus from Mega Bekasi at 01.06PM. My boyfriend pick me up to Damri Bus parking lot, and I forgot to bring Rupiah because all of my money are dollars now.. I open all my wallet and my pocket to find some money.. hihih.. and I found Rp 30.000, so it is enough for me to buy ticket for Damri Bus, it just Rp 28.000.
I was arrived at 14.20 at Soekarno Hatta Airport, and some of my friends already arrived there, we are just waiting for some of my friends that left behind.  After that I put my baggage and check in, and also give my NPWP so I don’t have to pay for fiscal, after waiting we are going to the waiting room because our flight was 04.35PM, and we are informed that our flight was delayed for 20 minutes.. huaaa.. hate this moment..
At 05.10 we are take off, finally we are fly.. Starting to fell bored..  But I sit right behind my friend, and just the two of us sit in that line, so more space for us.. We had our dinner at that plane.. not to delicious, but enough for us..
We are arrived at 08.12PM, then we are go to immigration and going to money changer. We already pick up by Taxi to Equatorial Hotel. It was funny that the Taxi driver can’t speak English and talking in Vietnam language that we didn’t know what its mean and he doesn’t know where was the Hotel, so we just follow the other Taxi. I was surprised with the situation.. My gosh, Ho Chi Minh are crowded with Motorcycle and also bicycle, it just some of car there.. and the traffic was more terrible than in Jakarta.
At 10.00PM we are arrive at the Hotel, nice hotel with Christmas Tree and House of Chocolate.. Our room was 841 at level 8, and we are plan to going out at 10.30PM to search some dinner,  but after walk outside, we just decided to go back, because we didn’t know the night situation there, and we just eat at the Chit Chat CafĂ© in that hotel. Even night, the situation was still crowded by motorcycle, we don’t know why still crowded, but we finally know from the Hotel Bus Driver (two days later) that they are still outside and bring Vietnam Flag, because they want to support Sea Games at Laos. 00.21AM we are going sleep because we have busy schedule tomorrow.
