tapioca was the main staple during those days. our guide showed us how to cook and eat a tapioca. they were starchy and tasty.

steps to the long tunnel
our guide demonstrated how this piece of wood (with sharp rusty nails) will fly onto anyone who opens the door
booby traps
no problem entering but navigating underground was tough work. we ended up sweating doing squat walks through a few metres...
Cu-chi tunnel model - how the vietnamese fought the war against the U.S.
the process of making a beautiful art work
a chinese 妈祖 temple, similar to the Thian Hock temple in Singapore
we were finally back in vietnam again, where we first started our "long way out".the traffic in Ho chi minh city (aka HCMC) is crazy. to cross the road, one has to walk carefully and just walk. though the motorbikes travel in all directions, they will slow down and bike around u.
we joined a half day tour to Cu Chi Tunnel on one day and met abt 300 singaporeans there. they were there on a company trip. how coincident.
overall, we had a good time in HCMC. the people there were nice and friendly like the cambodians.
