Yes, I’m off to Vietnam tomorrow for a holiday! Taking four days of annual leave will allow me to have a 11-day holiday because of the Qing Ming, Good Friday and Easter Monday public holidays. My friend and I will just be touring the north – Hanoi, Halong Bay and Sapa. We’ll be fitting in some hiking at the latter. Meals at Bobby Chinn and La Badiane also await us.<\/p>\n
This is my first time in Vietnam and I’m really looking forward to it. Travelling is what I really live for; it’s what excites me. Wanderlust is a chronic condition that requires an air ticket to alleviate the itch every once in awhile. I’ve also told myself that every year\u00a0I must try to go to a place I’ve\u00a0never been before.\u00a0For a person who has lived in Southeast Asia most of her life, I haven’t actually explored much of the region which is why I decided on Vietnam. Plus,\u00a0I really like Vietnamese\u00a0food.\u00a0Food is always one of the\u00a0determining factors in\u00a0my choice of\u00a0holiday destination.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The purpose of a holiday is to enjoy\u00a0myself. Food is, to me, a form of enjoyment and\u00a0has to be one of\u00a0the highlights of a\u00a0trip.\u00a0To be honest, I’m not much of a museum person.\u00a0While I don’t mind going to a museum or two to look at\u00a0important cultural and historical exhibits, I can probably only spend\u00a0three hours\u00a0max in a museum.\u00a0After that,\u00a0I need to be out walking around the streets, observing the street life, weaving in and out of little lanes,\u00a0sipping tea at a cafe,\u00a0reading in\u00a0a\u00a0park, hiking in the mountains, swimming in the sea\u00a0etc. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
So have a good weekend and keep well while I’m traipsing around the north of Vietnam!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
