A bit of travelling

I haven't had the chance to update my blog as I have been really busy. I will post a few things up soon on purchases from forever21 (yay with the strong aussie dollar) and some bargains I found a few weeks ago.

I went on a bit of a holiday last month and travelled to both Vietnam and Singapore. I really enjoyed both countries and I am looking forward to some more travels sometime soon. I really want to travel around the world now.

The traffic in Vietnam is totally insane. Heaps of motorbikes everywhere and alot of people beeping. All you can hear is the motorbikes and cars beeping. Surprisingly I did not see any accidents but crossing the road is a challenge.

The markets are great for shopping however the things in Ben Thanh market are fixed (I am not sure if its certain sections). I ended up getting a dress and some Vietnamese traditional dresses. I have no clue when I will wear the Vietnamese dresses and probably will never wear them but they are really pretty. I recommend the night markets outside the Ben Thanh market as you can haggle the prices. It was actually fun seeing my friend haggle the prices down. Whatever happens if you're a tourist they definitely try to get as much money from you as possible even if its a bargain.

Overall Vietnam was a great holiday. I had heard many stories about getting sick and other bad things about Vietnam but really it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.


Singapore was a different experience compared to Vietnam. The one place I had to go was to Orchard Rd where all the shops are. There were a lot of designer shops. Every block I remember seeing another Louis Vuitton store or another designer shop. I found a lot of the shopping here very expensive. I even remember going to Wisma Atera where they had this shoe sale. They had brands such as Ninewest, Steve Madden and the prices were so much cheaper here in Australia. I didn't buy anything in Orchard but I actually found Vivo City a great shopping complex with shops such as Forever21 and Topshop. There is also a store in Vivo City that sells magazines and books and I bought ViVi Magazine there. It was much cheaper than Kinokuniya in Takashiyama. If you get a chance to go to Sentosa where are the adventure parks are then you'll definitely go through Vivo City shopping centre.

Well I will post some more things soon :)
