Depart from Cengkareng (Jakarta) at 16.30 and arrive in HCMC (SGN) at 19.30, there's no different time with Jakarta.
Not like other country, arriving in vietnam no need arrival card :)
Matthew (Canadian) must apply visa before leaving, so he took visa on arrival online and get the visa on arrival. And me as Indonesian no need visa to enter this country. As visitor in this country who doesn't need visa, must go to the imigration counter in the right side. And for visitor who need visa to enter the country can go to the imigration counter in the left side which near the Visa counter.
Now I'm sitting here alone behind the imigration counters waiting for Matthew got his Visa and stamp from imigration.
Penta Market

Gossip bar (like stadium)
But :
- less smoke (more fake smoke)
- more tables than people
- it looks wierd standing have no table
- more security
- more waiters with red uniform
- more rules (no photo, no walking around the tables and more no's)
- make me affraid to make more steps
- now end up di belakang pilar besar
- finally able to have fun at the dance floor, surprisingly even at the dance floor you have security watching you. Seems 1 security for every couple :)

LET'S ROCK SAIGON!! :D
Wake up late in the morning for sure, it's sunday dude!
It's time to go to money changer, we don't wanna make our friend broke because of us after he pick us up from the airport, welcome us to stay at his apartement, pay our dinner, pay our drinks at the club because we have no Dong yet (arriving in saigon at pm where all money changer are closed)
Getting Dong make us feel so rich, after making our friend paying our bill since arriving in HCMC, it's time to pay back hehe....
First thing to do is to find out how to go to Mekong Delta and figure out what to do tomorrow. We went to a tour in district 1 to buy 1/2 day tour to Cu Chi tunnel for the next day and one way bus ticket to Can Tho (Mekong Delta) and figure out there if we gonna stay 1 night or 2 nights or continue to Vinh Long. We'll see!
We have Lunch in a Vietnam Food Restaurant on Duong Pasteur. The place is happening, there are a lot of customers there. Here I found fantastic local food that made my tounge dancing cha cha ;) It's the Lettuce salad and Vietnam Pancake. OMG!!! This is the first klimaks of the trip :D
After that we walk around the city park near the restaurant where there are a lot of local hang out and buy local snack foods. I think the city is friendly Have more parks to hangout chatting with friends and don't have to go to mall. Riding motor bike also looks fun and less stress here (comparing with jakarta) and the heat's non so bad. But driving a car I think is a challenge here because a lot of motor bikes in the front, left and right.
Btw here people driving at the right side, the steer is in the left. Cars drive in the left and motor bikes in the right near the trotoar.
