Day 4
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
The morning was bright, with scorching sun but there was something different from Singapore. It was the cold wind. Nice weather! We slept through the bus journey which brought us to the Bao Dai's Villas.. It's a French colonial architecture. How can we possible miss this since it was one of the last few remaining in Vietnam! Opened our sleepy eyes and walked towards that villa. It was built as a holiday resort for the last Vietnamese King Bao Dai and Queen Nam Phuong. It was built in 1923 but their bedrooms, washrooms, furnitures, comparing with the current ones in that area, it really look majestic. Argh.. I don't have the patience to explain anymore.. Let the pictures describe later on.. So what we experienced? Before we could enter, we had to put on this elastic clothed shoe which allowed us to glide across the rooms. Beware of steps! U may slide of it, and friends surrounding that moster, halt! Stand clear of him! Else u'll all glide like how Tom Chased Jerry. Hehe.. That's exaggerated. Much of the furnitures were wooden, rooms after rooms, size differs. Everything looked the same despite searching high and low for something interesting. But can you ever imagine that in 1923, a fire extinguisher was already invented? And has not changed at all? Still the same shape, same method of operating, same metal- I suppose. Cool Beans. Then again, it was enclosed in a wooden box. If only tree trunks could photosynthesize, maybe global warming wouldn't be as serious. Then there was a balcony. Nice scenery with sea breeze all year round as it overlooked the South China Sea. The greeneries were really pleasing. Yes. The grass is greener on the other side. Vietnam is really FUN! =D After appreciating the villa, we took a long bus ride back to Saigon. No more cold winds! Good Bye Dalat! ^.4 Yay! Ellice enjoyed in Vietnam! |
