Im down to my last week in Singapore
and Ive been getting pretty emo.

Funny enough,
these are expectations,
but when time comes
it just isnt that easy.


PervyPaul: Missing us already? You've got 4 more days.


So not helpful. -_-


The boyfriend was down last weekend
to help take some of my stuff home first,
and as we laid down on Sunday morning
side by side, I told him...


"You know. I can already imagine how beautiful my new room in England is... with the ensuite bathroom, the double bed and the purple walls. But i can also imagine it always being so dark and gloomy... and so very lonely... again."

I was recommended a good traveling agency
by my aunt who lives in Vietnam
called *Sinh Cafe*,
which is also a popular hostel
with loads of foregin tourists
on District 1, if im not mistaken.

The best part of it,
it's also freaking cheap
and absolutely reliable
which was great for me
as I was touring on my own
as I split with the Indons that morning.

They were doing the city tours
and I didnt want to follow
as I had already previously visited
in my last trip to Vietnam.






On the bus,
while waiting for it to depart.

Look at their phone/cable lines.
So freaking scary.







On the way to the
Cai Be floating market!





After about a 3 hour bus ride,
we were transferred into a boat
to be taken into the heart
of Cai Be's floating market.






If you have read my blog long enough,
you'll know how much
I love taking picture of fruits.

They're so colourful!









Apparently long ago,
there were crocodiles attacking the boats
at the Cai Be floating market,
so the farmers had decided to draw 'eyes',
in front of the boats to scare them away.

And if you could see properly,
each boat hangs whatever they want to sell
on bamboo sticks on their boat,
which is really cute.

So for example,
if boat A is selling watermelons,
he would hang watermelons on his bamboo stick.





Okay.
This is too damn cute.

Pigggsss!!!





They were oinking
as they went past. hehe.





And because the boats
are their most important source of transportation,
they have their very own petrol station as well
for the motor boats. haha.

I was told it's busier
and more beautiful at the dawn
of the floating market,
and was adviced to actually
stay over a night in Cai Be
to experience so.

But unfortunately for me,
I was leaving the following day
and didn't have the time to do so.


***

We proceeded for another 45 mins
to a nearby village
to watch how local delicacies were made.






Free flow!











That's the tour guide
in the last picture.

And that's how rice paper is made.
