Vung Tau :- The Journey Home

December 5th, 2007 by Nick Tay

We left Vung Tau, and went to Phuong’s home, about an hour away from there to attend his Father’s Death Anniversary Party. When I first heard the term, I was wondering if I should dress in dark clothes, in case I would offend people, but I was re-assured that its a normal custom here. People actually have a party with good food and drinks each year on the death anniversary of somebody in the family. We arrived, ate and then the guys slept while Sara, Fang and I drank coffee at a near by place. I always though that Coffee was cheap in HCM City till we paid for our coffee in this small Kampung town. For 3 cups of good coffee it was only 26,000 VND, which is almost the price of 1 cup of coffee here! Wow!

After coffee it was zoom all the way for about 1 and 1/2 hours till we stopped at this roadside shop 28 km from HCM City and drank some Sugarcane juice.

 Then it was non-stop to HCM, and back to the hotel! End of trip.

On this day in History..
