Historical Day

For today, it is a day of historical day. We get to visit places where there are the traces of the wars. Woke up earlier than usual, we are heading out early as we are going to Cu Chi Tunnel Tour. The journey to the place was 2 hours. During the journey, everyone slept!:P Finally, we had reached the destination. We get to explore the place where we see Ben Duoc and Ben Dinh tunnels. We get to see the self invented weapons by the Vietnamese and the tunnels they made. Those traps just by seeing can make you goosebump. It just shows how smart they are. We get to try out to climb in the tunnel ourselves too. Just 20m and the biggest tunnel, we already cannot take it. I really admire those Vietnamese who survived through all these. It takes really a lot of courage and the ‘never say die’ attitude to make them survive through all these. After the tour, we went to have our lunch at Ben Dinh Restaurant.

Smallest tunnel.

Traps invented by the Vietnamese

Weapons which the Vietnamese made.

Then another 2 hours to go to the War Remnants Museum. This museum is full of photos and also there is also the US weapons (bombs and shells etc.) and the tiger cage. Seeing all these, really feel sad for the Vietnamese. It can really make one person tears drop by seeing all these. In Singapore, though we had experienced World War 2 too, however, it can never be compared to the Vietnam, because they had survived through this war for 17years+. The last stop of our day is Reunification Palace. It is somehow similar like Singapore’s Istana. It is a place for the president, meeting place, recreational place for them and all. The view from the top of the building is also marvelous.

The scenery there was really nice, hence, we took a few photos!:D
