Vietnam "Timeless Charm" Ho Chi Min City (Saigon)

Ho Chi Min City Hall

My SaigonVietnam Adventure was unplanned travel, the original plan ay Ha Long Bay Vietnam . But when I research the place very time consuming , since i stay for 1 day only i decided to explore the Ho Chi Min City former Saigon The Capital of Vietnam.

Check the entrance hole of Cu Chi Tunnel

Tourist demo the secret hiding place at Cu Chi tunnel     

First destination, The Cu Chi Tunnels, Cu Chi is about 40 km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City in Southern Vietnam. The Cu Chi Tunnels are an elaborate underground community made up of 250 km of tunnels and chambers below the city. Imagine how long the community underground? better than Ninja Turtles hehehe. From the Airport almost 3 hours travel time. So don't forget to bring a lot of patience.Because you only see endless rice field on the road.

Travel buddy and Friends Jen (Left,she bring DSLR but don't know how to adjust the camera setting don't know if she got nice shot hahaha)  Gemma (Right, We always fight and argue for the direction in this entire travel hahaha but she doing good following the maps naman) because of Gemma I never research in this travel relax lang utak ko sya lahat nag reseach.  

Must Try: After exploring the cu chi tunnels, try to experience the real life machine gun.Just imagine the hassle in your life(tsismosang kapitbahay,at mga epal sa paligid)sure you have wonderful day if ilalagay mo sila sa target...boom

When going back to downtown city of Ho Chi Minh City don't forget to visit The War Remnants Museum.  Is a war museum at 28 Vo Van Tan, in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It primarily contains exhibits relating to the American phase of the Vietnam War.

Try also the different kind of street foods in the city. But take note be careful sa mga swindlers uso din sa kanila mga manloloko. Because the currency is hundred of thousand ang bilangan mejo malilito ka talalga mag bilang. Your USD 1 00.00 is equivalent to VND 2,000,000  . Yes millionaire ka agad sa Vietnam  .
