Lotus Travel and Tours. At RM1649 per person, the tour highlights
are Angkor Wat and Tonle Sap Floating Village. There is a boat
cruise to visit the village. We get to see floating markets,
floating houses and floating schools of Cambodian fishermen. That
sounds interesting but my younger sister isnt too keen on it. Im
excited about the Ho Chi Minh City tour. The four highlight is the
Cu Chi Tunnel, a network of tunnels that were underground cities in
the 1960s. We also get to shop at Vietnams famous Ban Thanh market.

Mr Nobody
I know a funny little man,As quiet as a mouse,Who does the
mischief that is doneIn everybodys house!Theres no one ever sees
his face,And yet we all agreeThat every plate we break was
crackedBy Mr. Nobody.
Tis he who always tears out books,Who leaves the door ajar,He
pulls the buttons from our shirts,And scatters pins afar;That
squeaking door will always squeak,For prithee, dont you see,We
leave the oiling to be doneBy Mr. Nobody.
The finger marks upon the doorBy none of us are made;We never
leave the blinds unclosed,To let the curtains fade.The ink we never
spill;the bootsThat lying round you seeAre not our boots,they all
belongTo Mr. Nobody
