Cu Chi Tunnels

couldn’t too it! Wimped out and looked at the lovely trees while my boyfriend explored the tunnels. boo hoo!

Want to understand why the Vietnamese prevailed? Go here to see an amazing example of ingenious low-tech engineering.

cu chi tunnels blow your mind, as you walk through the area (go with someone who was around at the time, a guide for this one), you are slowly but surely winding yourself back to the time.

Then you see these tunnels. 250km underground tunnel network, where people who are trying to survive against the biggest firepower ever unleashed in the world; the US invasion of Vietnam.

one of the greatest things I’ve seen ever…

bring a flashlight, loose COTTON clothes that you wouldn’t mind getting dirty and skip the shooting range at the end (unless you like that sort of twisted thing). Most importantly, if you are claustrophobic DO NOT GO IN THE TUNNELS…

if your going here plan ahead: bring water as its open air (for most part) comfy clothes that you wouldnt mind getting dirty. an extra shirt A FLASHLIGHT . if you go down in the tunnels , try as much as possible to stick near the guide at the front. If your claustrophobic even in the slightest way, this will be a real challenge
