Woke up this morning probably still a little drunk, certainly very seedy. We were off to see the Cu Chi tunnels. Its an area about 60kms from saigon where a lot of vietnamese cong constructed over 200kms of tunnels in which to live in as well as providing a strategic advantage against the US and the South Vietnamese. How they lived in such cramped dark conditions is beyond me, but it was these tunnel systems which led them to victory against the US. We were able to fire off some AK47s and some M16s, i had to pass because i was out of cash after the tunnels i walked around saigon for a little longer before deciding i needed a nap. after that was dinner followed by apocalypse now which certainly hadnt improved since the last time i was there. through sheer boredom i decided to go back to the hotel, and the revolving restraunt. Damn expensive is all i can say but almost worth it for the view. Tomorrow we leave Vietnam and go to Cambodia. Country number 2 on the list
