from green to black

a wedding and a beach

its been a good 3 days in vietnam so far and i'm
enjoying the company even if i dont understand
most of the banter. its much better than singapore
where i understand almost all of it but disagree
strongly with quite as much too. ignorance is
bliss and the lack of the necessity to have a
position about anything does wonders for my blood
pressure. it also helps that i dont have to pay
for anything as well since anh settles the
accounts and i wont be travelling beside chickens

so anyway here are some pictures of my adventures
with the suckling pig at chau's wedding. it was
at the white palace (hotel?) in ho chi minh.
rather grand place and they had like 6 weddings
concurrently in the same place. kindda awkward,
but hey at least you feel good that there was
a crowd at your big party!

we stayed at the novela mui ne resort and spa.
and i loved the room decor. it had lots of
wood elements and warm coloured yellow tiles
for the bathroom which was so spacious. attached
to the bathroom was a walk in wardrobe which
had very considerate furnishings. there was a
rack to dry the wet stuff in addition to the
hangars and platforms. our view was kindda
obstructed though since we were staying on
the second floor and were blocked from the
seaview by the trees. but thats ok since we
could just head to the girls room downstairs
where their patio extended to the sea.
very beautifully done.

the bad thing as usual was the service.
specifically, their inability to deliver
upon their promises. there was supposed to be
a complimentary honeymoon package but we
found out that we had to pay 400 000vnd
and that it was only free if booked in
advance. kindda sad when the note stated
their aspirations of enhancing the status
of the resort. too bad we werent able to
surprise our recently married friends.
its precisely these little things that
the hospitality industry shouldnt overlook
if it truly wants to be first class. dont
promise if you cant deliver, dashed hopes
are the worst disappointments.
