Vietnam National Day Weekend

Went to Vung Tau for two days for a short getaway over the past weekend. It was a good break before the tiring week I have ahead (gotta travel 4hrs in total everyday back and forth this week - to visit a company for due diligence).

I'm already feeling pretty tired and worn out now actually...and it's a sunday! I need another two days to recover from my holiday!

Anyway, check out the pics taken in Vung Tau...


We stayed at a new resort (I think it opened around 3 months back). Paint still fresh and everything still properly maintained, which is a plus.


The design is pretty slick too! The only downside was that our neighbors were pretty noisy.


Son Thuy Resort. The red banner is to congratulate Vietnam for 60 years of independence (the Vietnamese won the battle in the north against the French in 1945. Alas, the south was still under control of France/U.S until 1975).


"Oc huong" - a kind of seashell. The meat is very tasty but it's pretty expensive.


The main church in Vung Tau


The mooncake festival is coming around soon (Sept 18 I think?). This is a common sight today - competing stalls set up to sell mooncakes.


Lanterns on sale as well.


Chilling by the pool deck.


The family we chilled with. The little boy is so cute!


Taking a breather


Handling one of the greyhounds next to the racetrack. I won that day...woo hoo!
