Flavours of Saigon – Cu Chi Tunnel Half Day Trip
December 18, 2012 | 2,195 viewsContinued from Serenity @ Day Trip Around Dalat …
Breakfast by the streets of Saigon – A random stall about 300 metres from our hotel (Saigon Mini 6) that serves wanton noodle soup and chicken porridge with you tiao (yau char kwai/Chinese crullers). Oh yeah, and also durians if you fancy them for breakfast!
Let’s do a really mechanical post for today. Woke up an hour late (!) and rushed off to work in record time. Started the day on adrenaline rush with nary a moment to breathe in between, right until dinner hours. So allow me to let off some steam (or whatever that’s left of it) before a long week back in IPOH! (Get them napkins off the shelf and ready for the onslaught of reviews?)
Cu Chi Tunnel – Climbing down a hole smaller than the average burly guy’s size (don’t get stuck and Instagrammed, please), trekking on level grounds and bearing witness to how cruel contraptions worked back in the warring days ….
On a more sombre note, let’s see what we did at Cu Chi (pronounced ‘koo-chee’); a bitter battleground for many years during the Vietnam war.
