We were prepared to face the meyhem of Hanoi but instead Saigon came across as a lovely city full of cheerful people. Before sunset everyone would be out exercising in the parks, the men would be playng badminton or football while the woman would be in their groups doing aerobics, with the kids joining in wherever they could.
We visited the Cu Chi Tunnels which were fascinating. It was where the viet cong fought the Americans. The tunnels had three layers, and were so small you had to crawl through them. We got given the chance to go through some of them and it was horrible. Greg managed to make it through the whole 120 metres however Kim only made it through the first 20 before having to go out through one of the exits!!! That day we learnt a lot about what went on and how they fought. We even got to have a go at shooting an AK.47 at the end. The gun shots were so loud but so exciting! We loved every second of it.
