Day 5: Love affair in Ho chi Minh

Breakfast at 6.30am-favouritist thing in the world- buffet beakfasts! YUM!
8.30 am , at the airport and checking in to the chaotic whirlpool of people, pushing, shoving
and cutting queues which seemed the norm of life there!






We get on the plane and fly to Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon
where we have 4 hours to weave in and out of
the rubber chords of the linked up city!
Choy had friends from the city so we had a nice river side lunch at a restaurant called The Deck!
After spending an hour to get there, and 45 minutes or so over lunch we decided to leave to grab our luggage at her friends place and we made our way back to the airport, where i got hit by a taxi by the way trying to squeeze by i kicked his van!!!



Triple indicator!


Lost amongst work!




By the river with pineapple juice & plus sized fries!



Finally we were on our way home after our whirlwind travels to and fro from beautiful Vietnam!
I absolutely can't wait to go back again and go soo some war time memorials, tunnels etc! I'd definitely recommend Vietnam's quieter resorts liek Hoi An for perfect beaches and blissfully unpopulated seas...

Vietnam Day 4: Tick tock tick Tock

After having dinner at 8pm, we got word that we were to rise and shine
for hair and makeup at 3.30am! YoUZaH!!!
We needed to get as much sunlight as possible for the whole day filming
as we were to fly of the next day early in the morning!
As sun rose at 5.30am, we had to be ready so we could film till 5.30pm!
It was a long, hot day, but we made it through, thought at times it actually felt
like 5 pm when it was only 9am because we had been up all morning!!!

Breakfast we sat by the beach and sun-rise was absolutely mesmerising,
while munching down on our prepacked hotel breakfast!

On set 5.30am!



Private unused beach belonging to unopened resort!!!


Feet friends!



Jumps for Joy!





Pierre!

With Casey our makeup artist!

sundown at 5pm!!!!


The long day finally drew to a close for filming and i was feeling pretty lazy to head out for dinner but i managed to drag my ass out to the Lantern Festival in Hoi An Town and it was
bustling with life! We were so hungry we let the crew go ahead to walk around and we ate for about an hour and a half, at some road side stall, lit by a handful of lamps, making the surroundings and our dinner all the more sumptuous( as did it smell and taste heavenly)
by darkness and all the better we couldn't see what we were eating
and even more so what we were eating in..Yikes...
By almost 10pm we were totally floored by tiredness and took a quick squinty at the festival and made our way back to the hotel to pack our luggage...
i can't wait to makeit back to Vietnam in the near future hopefully!

Busy streets!

Prayers!



Full Moon!

Vietnam Day 3: Work!!!

I Love morning Buffet Breakfasts at Hotels.
Day 3 I had my hair and make up done at 10am, then at noon we set off down the road
to an unopened resort to film our scenes!
In short, basically me and Choy are sisters who are drama queens and we are those sort of girls
who constantly join pageants and who think they are all that!!!
Was hot!!!!!!!but great company makes a big difference!
