ChU cHi tuNnEls

1/2 day trip - which is very easy for you to find in HCMC. Go straight for Sinh Cafe- it's famoust for their service on tours.


Get urself wheter half or full day tour.
from tour around the city, lake market, or even great scenery outside the city ...

start with the testing on "feeling being in the tunnel" ..
quite scary, since it's really small area, where you need to bend & crawl inside, to get through it.

this hole was spread all over the places, places for them to hide from the enemy. Sometimes they create this hole as a trap, too.
there's so many kinds of creepy traps - which i can't display here.
either fascinating, on how they create it or creppy, on how they use it for.


this tunnel/ hole entrance was so small & smelly - yaiks, might be not too much air inside, too- too damp & dont know what else is inside.
quite wondering how these people can survive inside, even to gave birth - where there's not much air around...

this time my friends & I getting 1/2 day tour for chu chi tunnels ..
u know, where they used to have gorrilas fighter?!

yup, most of them are like in this pictures - wearing army diquise uniform, walking around in night time, hiding in day time.


these pupets look real, for me. will think twice to get near them, especially when ure alone, in the darkness of the jungle.

they're gorrilas soldier - that's how they called it. Since they're walking like gorrilas -
why? .. because they spent most of their life inside the tunnel, and have to bend & walk to reach each places, under the tunnels.

sad situation, but must do - bend down or else got shoot!


these was the entrance to each tunnels - of course, it was improvised already, for tourist -

from there, you'll get some sort of living room / rest area before you enter the next step, which leads you bend down along the tunnel, to get to other side of area.

fiuhhh... such a bend! he3x ..
i even got my knee knock few times on the rock - bruises all over ..

it was a fun trip - get to know other side of world, u're standing at.
i might get myself another part of the tour - when time allow it, and later on I'll tell you the story!
