The Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam
While in Ho Chi Minh, we took a day trip out to the Cu Chi Tunnels. I'd heard from a few people that this was something we shouldn't miss. These were the tunnels that the Vietkong lived in during the Vietnam War to avoid the US troops. They were incredibly inventive in trying to survive - creating tunnels that went down 4 stories and were tens of miles long. The tunnels were incredibly tiny and claustrophobic! Vietnam has widened a portion of the tunnels to allow visitors to crawl through them...Westerners couldn't fit in the normal sized tunnels. Even with them being widened, they were still very small!
