♥ Vietnam Day 1

We landed in Vietnam around noon and were picked up by my aunts & uncles, all of whom I’ve never met before










Almost home!

Looking down our street
 We came home and they had already made us food. Yum! They also had bought fruits for us. I asked our nanny to buy us a case of Aquafina water since I only wanted to drink bottled water while I was in Vietnam. We mainly spent the rest of the day relaxing at home since we were all tired from the long plane ride












 Later in the evening after dinner, some of us went for a walk around Parkson


Came home and saw this in our bedroom! Yikes!

» Taipei to Ho Chi Minh City

Our next flight was a 2 hr & 50 min from Taiwan to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam
 
 


 On the plane, we were served one meal: a choice between…

(1) Noodles & Fish


 (2) Rice & Chicken


Both were served with a bun, salad and fruit (pineapple, honeydew and watermelon)

Another beer for my dad
After eating, we had about 1 hr and 30 mins until we landed in Vietnam
 





First time seeing Vietnam! We were flying over Nha Trang
Almost there!

Getting closer!!

So close!!!
 We finally landed in Ho Chi Minh City at 12 pm!

Finally landed!

On the way to the gate


 
16 more days in Vietnam!

» Taoyuan Int’l Airport

We landed in Taiwan around 5 am. Our next flight to Vietnam was in 3 hrs and again, we were flying with EVA airlines
 
EVA airlines has collaborated with Sanrio (the company which owns the Hello Kitty brand) to make Hello Kitty jets that fly from Taiwan to select cities in Asia. I was hoping we would be able to fly in the Hello Kitty jet but we later found out that there are no flights to Vietnam :( In addition to the jets, the airport has a Hello Kitty themed nursery and playarea as well as a Sanrio gift shop
