Normadic backpacking to Can Tho & Mekong

Due to unforeseen reasons of anti-Chinese riots in Vietnam during May 2014, my trip has been postponed to 25 August 2014 instead. Booking a tour to Can Tho via Impress Travel online, a total of 3 day 2 night tour (which actually consist of 2D1N Can Tho Mekong Delta tour and Cu Chi tunnel day tour) adds up to $128usd. Inclusive of a night stay in 3 star hotel and an inclusive dinner in a nice restaurant.

comfortable 40 seater bus provided by the agency.


Packing my gears and stuffs, this will be my longest ever solo travelling to a foreign land, staying for 5 days with nomadic style living moving from hotels to hotels, in different cities almost every night. Sounds boring to be travelling alone? Not at all, when I'm having my cameras and itineraries packed.

Reaching Tan Son Nhat airport around 3pm local time (GMT+7), there are actually only 2 more trustable taxi companies that can be taken in Ho Chi Minh, 1 is Vinasun (white) taxi and the other is Mai Linh (green and sometimes white) taxi company. I will say that they are more honest and run on meter. Never forgetting the first time I went to Ho Chi Minh with Ashton, we took a taxi from airport to district 3 hotel, and that cost us 500,000vnd ($30sgd)! Today, taking Mai linh taxi running on meter cost me about 130,000vnd going to district 1 which is quite near to district 3. See the price difference? 

Taxis in Ho Chi Minh are quite notorious in ripping tourist off and likewise for nightclubs, drinking outlets, so just be more mindful when visiting these places. Safety wise, same rules applies: no walking in dark alleys or wander around when night falls, especially for solo travelling, don’t count money in public places or taking out a whole stack of cash and counting, merely just inviting troubles. Hand phones and cameras is more advisable to be sling or held firmly as snatch theft is quite common there, even locals fell victims to them. 
all time favourite beverage...


Back to Can Tho Mekong Delta adventures! Arriving and checking in to my hotel along De Tham Street, the tour agency is just 4 shop house away from my hotel, perfect! Drop by to make some transit arrangements and confirming that my name is registered (better be registered, already paid!) the staffs are friendly and the tour is handled very professionally.

The weather wasn't on our side as not long after setting off, it started to pour heavily. Our first destination is to My Tho city which is south of Ho Chi Minh City to visit Vinh Trang Temple which has a gigantic Laughing Buddha that sat beautifully in the rays of the Sun. After setting off from Vinh Trang Temple, we proceed to the boat jetty where we took a wooden motor boat into Mekong Delta to experience their local cultural handmade food. The rain start to fall when we are on the way to the jetty, nevertheless we have to buy a disposable raincoat that cost 10,000vnd from the bus driver so as not to get too wet. Soon as it came, the rain starts falling and it gets stronger and stronger, argh it’s the 2nd time I'm caught in a thunderstorm in the middle of Mekong Delta!

There is something that is kinda interesting along the highways, unlike the North-south Highways in Peninsula Malaysia that has R & R, they has rest house instead. The houses are open concept with hammock sling from pillar to pillar, and a café that serves food and drinks as well. Just by purchasing a drink, I am allowed to use the hammock for as long as I wish. Also, ancestor graves are normally rested on their Padi fields, and all these can be seen while I’m travelling on the highway. They believe that the ancestor will give the field blessing and have a smooth harvest.

Travelling on Mekong Delta in the pouring rain, I’m so glad that my Canon EOS 70D and EF 24-105mm F4L IS USM Lens are weather sealed (not water-proofed) as I'm shooting many heartfelt images while the rain is pouring. My camera and lens is dripping water while I’m wrapped up in raincoat.

Firstly is lunch, and I joined a couple from Holland and Spain as we are having the same package, the food we have is much better than the others. After lunch is visit to a house factory making sweets, Royal Queen Honey Bees and boat rowing through the meanders in Mekong Delta.

Being caught in the rain the whole day, my activities ends around 1830hrs where I check in to a hotel in Can Tho. The hotel is nice and cozy at 1 look. After checking in, I made my way to the designated restaurant arranged by my tour agency, it’s kind of posh, service is not bad and the food is good, but sadly my legs are once again attacked by mosquitos throughout the dinner.   

the room is really very cozy.. but sadly there is bed bugs... ended up sleeping on the floor.


my sumptuous dinner in CanTho

Taking an after dinner stroll through the Can tho night streets, I found that there isn’t much tourist around, and some people are looking at me (maybe they thought that I am from China?) – HAHA. There aren’t many things along the streets and it feels the same as if I am in Ho Chi Minh. So I decided to return to my hotel for an early rest as tomorrow will be another early day. Ironically, my cozy and comfortable room bed is infested with beg bugs! Fxxk! As I’m too lazy to get around changing bed or sorts, I slept on the floor with the bed comforter the whole night.

Moving on from a night of bed buggies, I woke up to the hotel provided breakfast and check out of the hotel. Soon and punctually, the tour guide has arrived to bring us to the floating market as scheduled. Along the way to floating market, I witness some river lives that is led by the Vietnamese, working alongside river as well as boathouses used as accommodation and river taxi. In the floating market, many things were sold and all were placed on their tiny boats, with stoves, grills, pho, fruits and drinks. Many were doing trading on bigger boats before bringing to cities to sell.

After the floating market visit, we travelled deeper into Mekong Delta to another house factory; making pho (Vietnamese noodles), and also mountain biking around the local villages. We are offered fruits by farmers and see how their normal lifestyle is. As now we are quite far away, our activities ended after lunch (where we ate in Can Tho) before setting off back to Ho Chi Minh City which is about 5 hours drive from Can Tho.

My last 2 night stay will be in a 4 star hotel in District 1 facing Saigon River – Liberty Central Riverside Saigon.

4th day in Ho Chi Minh is my re-visit back to Cu Chi tunnel, to see if I have missed out any interesting stuffs as compared to my previous visit. I wouldn’t narrate much here as it will be quite similar to my previous Ho Chi Minh Blog. Half-day tour to Cu Chi tunnel and here I am back in Ho Chi Minh City, strolling and wandering around the streets, some shopping and bought a North Face backpack for my wife. Drop by District 7 in the evening for dinner and had a walk around; District 7 in Ho Chi Minh is reputable for being most developed with high buildings and large air-conditioned shopping center, but sadly most of the restaurant are empty even during dinner time, probably due to their costly meals that not much Vietnamese will go normally.

my hotel pool... to laze my last night away...

Time flies and now I'm in my 5th day in Ho Chi Minh, it feels really good and comfortable; living alone off in a faraway land, a mind carrying away experience. As of my usual last day routine overseas, I woke up early for a relaxing run in the gym and a cold morning swim before heading to their posh restaurant for International breakfast buffet, before setting off to airport to head back home.

Bali Solo Cultural tour...

Pillion behind the rider (Bob) that I has engaged, I consistently keeps reminding him to ride slower and safer, but not to deny he do practice pretty well defensive riding and is executing the road expectations quite similar to mine. Bob is a roadside motorbike service that I have engaged with for my photography trip in Bali, he is surprisingly professional and also ethical. After trying him out for a single trip to Tanah Lot on my first day of arrival, I've decided to hire him for the second day.

It is yet another trip of solo travelling, and as usual I did read up, researching and reading through forums on what to expect and what to look forward to. As my initial trip is to Ho Chi Minh to visit their Mekong Delta where they have the floating market as well as villages on water, however due to the ‘Anti-China Riot’ there, it is not safe at the moment to visit Vietnam.

As impromptu as is it, I postponed my Ho Chi Minh flight to later dates and immediately book my flight to Bali, just 1 week before departure; I have to get my itinerary planned and hotel booked. Administrations settled, and here comes the day!

27th May 2014, which is also the same day a year ago I travelled to Bali with my wife, such coincidence; I woke up at 6 am and prepare and started making my way to airport. A long way indeed, taking Bus 960 to Bugis for breakfast and MRT to Changi Airport where I make it there perfectly on time.

Flying alone always feels different as I have no one to talks to, no one to look out for or anyone to look out for me either, and of course that is what solo travelling is all about right? Living in my own world and expose to the vast uncertainty of explorations.

I arrived at Bali (Denspasar) around 1330hrs, and Bali airport looks totally different now from a year ago! It has been renovated and looks much more spacious and most importantly less rowdy as compared to a year ago. Walking through, I activated my Data roaming but had set to the wrong network! Just a few Facebook newsfeed refresh and Whatsapp messages cost me $77! M1 only work with XL for a max cap of $15 for data roaming, and I am on Indosat network (FML, bad start).

Walking out of airport towards the taxi stand, as usual these annoying and idiotic drivers just charge sky high prices, quoting me 120,000 rupiah ($13.33sgd) just to nearby Kuta where I going to stay. Tried bargaining with them with my limited edition of Malay language, I paid 100,000 rupiah ($11.11sgd) unwillingly as I know the price should not even be more than 50,000 rupiah! My return cab fare from Kuta to airport cost 35,000 rupiah ($3.89sgd)!

Lousy start, but just make do and will definitely make the best out of it, I arrived at my hotel Kuta Sari House in Jln Bunisari around 1430hrs. This is a super budget hotel that cost me only about $20sgd (after tax) per night has no room service and no cupboard but they do have fast Wi-fi! Promptly, I unloaded my stuffs and geared up to my photography equipment and left the hotel at 1515hrs.

I was walking along the streets and peeped through a few tour agencies and noted the pricing that they offered and the places that they are going to, they are all relatively pricey and also mostly considered as group tours. Of course having those places that I wanted to visit in my mind, and now with the approximate ‘market price’ of such tours, I decided to walk and venture slightly more.

Bob approach me in a confident and friendly way while I am strolling along the streets, he gave me some offers and places that he can bring me to, speaks politely and so we chatted. I told him just 1 place that I want to go today and what he has to offer, whether he is fetching me there and back and is there any time limitations. I know the distance from my hotel to there and the approximate pricing that I will have to pay if I have to join any tour group. He offered a few places but I did not agree to him, he quoted 250,000 rupiah ($27.78sgd) for to and fro and no time limitations, he says timing, is up to me and he is ok with it, as long as it is not different locations, pricing will be as follows.

Looking at him in his eyes and seeing his reply to a few of my questions, probably I can give it a try; no promises, I will only want to go to Tanah Lot first and if were to visit other places, we will decide as we go along. My objective for first day is to shoot sunset at Tanah Lot as it has 1 of the nicest sunset and dinner and back to hotel for the next day. Along the way, Bob asked me what is my profession back in Singapore, and I told him that I am a full time photographer and I take pictures base on my how I feels, *hahaha I know this sounds funny but this is a gateway to my later explorations explanations.

Upon reaching at Tanah Lot, Bob asked me how long do I need and he will wait for me outside, and I told him probably an hour, he replied saying that if is an hour then will not have enough time to visit other places, but who cares I base on my feelings when I photo shoot, I have time as it is only the first day. I stayed in Tanah Lot for 3 hours, strolling around taking pictures, sitting on rocks staring blankly at the gushing waves and a huge crowds walking around aimlessly.

As dusk falls, I manage to grab a location to shoot the sunset.

Satisfied with Tanah Lot, I slowly make my way out to his motor bike, I am not worried that he will leave without me as I have not pay him a single cent yet, he does gives an elder brotherly feeling, the nature of taking care of others. So, I saw him and walk over to him and he says that it is too late for other places, I replied; it is ok Bob, let’s go for dinner, I want to try street local food. He recommended Mutton Satay, Mutton soup and rice with Sambal Bali, deliciously spicy!

Well, he has been honest and patience enough, I told him; dinner on me and let’s arrange for tomorrows program, his eyes brighten up and immediately started back his confident sales talking, but all these doesn’t work on me because I know what I wants. We had a discussion on the plans that we are going to have and agreed on a timing, same thing no time limitations, just more place more cost; first location tomorrow will be Mount Batur for sunrise. His Malay is too ‘chim’ for me to understand and my English is too ‘chim’ for him to understand, and so most of the time I speaks Malay to him and he replies in English (what an irony).

Tired for the whole day of travelling but yet feeling accomplished and satisfied for my itinerary fulfilled, I retired the night at 2100hrs.

0330hrs, waking up time for 2nd day Bali itinerary; Bob is picking me up at 0400hrs where we will proceed to a highland for Mount Batur sunrise shoot. Mount Batur is about 32km from where I am staying and the ride took about 1hour 30mins, as we need to go through winding hilly villages’ road. It is getting colder as we are riding up to higher altitude, and I am only wearing a running shorts and a singlet with running t-shirt! Packed Milk and Snicker in my backpack for breakfast, we arrived at the location, overlooking to the crater of Mount Batur and the valley and villages below.

Setting up my tripod and adjusting my camera settings to accustom to the lightings and environment, I am shivering from the chilling cold morning wind! Thanks to Canon Eos-M live view screen with touch shutter functions, that I do not need to press the shutter manually, I bet the images will be blur if I do not have the touch shutter function because my hands are trembling!

Done with morning shoot, we proceeded downhill for breakfast where we had Mie Goreng and authentic Indonesian hot coffee, the place has nice view but the food sucks, we were charged 120,000 rupiah ($13.33sgd) as we speaks English and argh sucks!

Next location that I am going to is Gunung Kawi, It is a place where the President will go to meditate and relax, as the place was ran by ‘different’ organization, so everyone there just want to get a piece of me. I am the first person there at 0815hrs, paid entrance fee and went in to take a look.

Nothing very much fantastic, no harm giving it a missed, not really worth going. Next location is Goa Gajah, which is also another place like Gunung Kawi, everyone just wants to make business; can’t really bothered with them, I just do and follows what I feels for.

Goa Gajah has 2 big basins that many other places in Bali also have, ladies and men will shower there early in the morning or late in the afternoon, I missed it!

After Goa Gajah is about 1030hrs, and we discussed if we should go to Ayung River Valley or other places, as I wanted to see the ladies working in the river as this can bring more life story to my photo shoot. However I was deeply disappointed that they doesn’t work there every day, and it is actually based on projects, if there is projects, they work, if there isn't then the place will just be forest and normal river.

Ok, visit one of their temples instead, Pura Puseh is along the way and I decided to drop by to take a look. Pura means temple as explained by Bob and there are a lot of Pura in Bali in different locations, so next time if I wants to go to a specific Pura, I will need to have the proper address.

After Pura Puseh, it is about 1130hrs, and I have decided to go to the last place on my itinerary which is supposed to be the 3rd day itinerary; Pura Luhur in Uluwatu. Along the way it started drizzling and the rain starts pouring, I decided that we should just pull over and break for lunch instead.


The real local roadside stores(Iphone 5)


Lunch selfies (Iphone 5)

There at the roadside store, we ordered 2 nasi goreng and 2 drinks, Bob then advise me to speak Malay and not speak any English. As we are eating at a local store, he claims that some people in Bali is still fanatic and if speaks Malay; though sound different from Bali locals, they will still at least thinks that I am from other islands of Indonesia. 

He talk about black magic in Bali and ask if I have heard about it, also asked if Singapore food stores vendor does black magic to their food to keep customers coming back. I replied; I don’t think so and never really heard of in Singapore, I ask him do Indonesian shops do those? He kept quiet and just laughed. Heeded his advice, I ask the store owner how much does our meal cost in Malay language and she did reply in Malay as well, so we communicated a few sentence and she said the meal cost 27,000 rupiah ($3sgd). That is hell lots of difference compared to our breakfast where we speak English!

After the rain, we head towards the southern tip of Bali where the Uluwatu Temple is located. There I saw very scenic view of high cliffs and clear blue waters and having the temple situated right at the top of the cliff. Many says the place is blessed as despite of all harsh weather conditions over 10 centuries, cliffs falling apart and rocks tumbling down, the temple stays and remains strong on the cliff top.

Hot and continuous walking and travelling and experiencing different climate and weather conditions in a day, I have decided to make Uluwatu Temple my last destination of my Bali cultural tour. I will want 
to try something totally different for my 3rd day in Bali.

Returning back to hotel around 1630hrs, I drop all my stuffs and just lay flat on bed with air con full blast, so fulfilling, 5 places around Bali in 12.5hrs at 600,000 rupiah ($66.67sgd); I will consider quite worth it. Rolling on bed and literally slacking until 1800hrs, I took a good shower and headed out for dinner. Dinner is at Joker Restaurant with good hospitality from the staffs along Jln Legian (club street), after which I decided to pamper myself and visited a massage centre for a full relaxation, Body Massage, Body Scrub, Ear candling and Facial for 2hrs 15mins at the price of 240,000 rupiah ($26.67sgd), worth it la!

Fulfilling and very long day, I make my way back to hotel with 2 cans of Bintang beer from their 24hrs minimart to slack and watch television and edit some photos in my cosy cheap hotel room. Fainted after a while.


Things anyhow throw... (Iphone 5)

Waking up at 0845hrs on my third day of Solo Travelling in Bali, Jeremey whatsapp me and asked if I want to join him and his friends for water sports; of course! That definitely will be fun, and I will walk over (2km from my hotel) and meet them at 1030hrs. (coincidentally they were in Bali Kuta too!)

Along the way I change some more rupiah as I feels is better to have more cash on hand (remember to change at stores that indicates that they don't earn commission, those are the ones that gives better rates although they display lower rates outside) and also have my breakfast before reaching his hotel.


Mie Goreng Breakfast (Iphone 5)

We had self-introduction with his friends Nicole, Grace and Leos, and get to know that Leos is a surfing instructor there, woo! Leos fetches us to Bali Dolphins, which is a watersports place where we played Banana Boat and Flying fish at a discounted price. 


Some selfies first! (Iphone 5)


Seems like Nicole marketing her GoPro Camera *hahaha (Iphone 5)

Jeremey wasn't really keen on flying nor been drag around on a banana but he is still spontaneous enough to join us, Thumbs up! So eventually all of us got wet and slacked for awhile at Bali Dolphins where I started having my Bintang beer (*grins).

Next destination is roadside store for Ayam Bakar/Goreng and Ikan Bakar/Goreng! Favourite, I loves food and I am so glad that I have them to recommend the good stuffs! I ate Ikan Goreng with rice add Ayam Bakar (drum and thigh), shiok maximum! A very heartwarming lunch, chatting and laughing and occasionally lost in my own world of food indulgence (*oops). All in cost around 240,000 rupiah ($26.67sgd) for 5 people, good price!

Next, we took a stroll along the alleys to cut through to Kuta beach where we are going to surf! I had never tried surfing in my whole life and has always wanted to try but was a bit disappointed when I see the sea is so peaceful when I reach, nevertheless just whack la., same slogan; make the best out of it!

Surfing wasn’t that easy as seen, and it requires some balancing nature and techniques to get the hang of it. I tried on the sand (literally dry practice) and head towards the wave next! the coast is getting its momentum now, waves are coming in they are quite high, probably around 2 meters high as I was engulfed by it a few times while trying to balance and got toss and thrown underwater and engulfed again when I surfaced. Very good experience and I love it; I am going to surf more!

Im balancing.....don't distract me..!!

Good things doesn’t last forever, and so do bad things of course, sun is setting and surfing comes to an end, and beer-ing is accelerating! Went back for a shower and all re-gather at the roof top restaurant of their hotel for a night of songs and quiet relaxation…
