We are at the Majestic Hotel near the Grand where we stayed nearly 10 years ago on a tour of Vietnam. Ross and Beatrice will recall the trip to Hanoi, some old memories flooding back.
Last night in Singapore we went back to the night food stalls at Marina Bay and met up with the same guy at one of the stalls who says after you place your order.........10 Dolla, 7 Minnus, go way. Now this may sound rather odd but what he was trying to say was....That will be S$10 for that plate and it will take 7 minutes to cook and if you would like to come back then it will all be ready. All the customers thought he was a scream !!!
So we left Singapore at 2 pm today and when we reached Saigon and were leaving the plane, a young woman from the rear of the plane pushed past Judy and she thought she was rude and unreasonable (which she was). Then when at the X-ray machine, Judy put her hand luggage through and from behind this same woman pushed in front and grabbed her bag pushing Judy out of the way.
In the 50 plus years I have known Judy I have never seen her so wild. She followed the woman and gave her case the biggest kick of all time. ( case almost turned over). The woman turned around and then realised that she had upset Judy and was unsure what to do.... Luckily she looked repentant. I grabbed Judy and lead her away but could not stop laughing as this was so out of character for her. Beware a woman scorned... A whisky and soda and she was fine - another memory for travellers!
The traffic here is just as hectic as ever. If you want to cross the road, do not hesitate nor change direction. To do so would be at your own peril.
We are travelling in a sampan upstream on the Mekong river tomorrow morning and will not have power, wifi or much at all, so we think the blog report will probably not reappear for at least 3 days.
