Finally I decided to write about my many traveling stories

Vietnam – Cu Chi Tunnels – Part 1

Back from Vietnam. Vietnam is indeed a very resourceful country with unlimited supplies of fresh fruit, veggies and most amazingly GREAT SEAFOOD!!!!!

I haven’t uploaded my photos yet but I have to say I was really amazed by the Cu Chi tunnels.

Please look at the shoes they wore during the Vietnam war…..

These are the sandals that the viet cong worn during the war, they were made entirely from tires. Because they were sandals, the soldiers suffered from insect bites. You could see how tough the Vietnamese people were.

I even wore long sleeves clothes and pants to visit the tunnels with insect repellent……can’t imagine their lives during the war, anyway, in contrary, this is what the American soldiers worn

Honestly…this is more like it.
I will write more about the tunnels.
It’s a great experience and I highly recommend to visit if you ever goto Vietnam.

Flying off to Vietnam tomorrow

Flying off to Ho chi Minh city tomorrow for Christmas, really excited cos I have never been to Vietnam and i am a big fan of Vietnamese food. I will also goto cu chi tunnels from the Vietnam war. I am excited to hear the story about the war from the locals. I could imagine this would be a completely different experience compared to my visit in the DMZ zone in Korea.
