The day we left from Jakarta to the airport, I and David got stuck in our hotel room! We went to get our bags and then the door got stuck. There were some French tourists who heard our screams and knockings so they went to get help. In the end there were 5 Vietnamese boys trying to open the door, with no luck. They came to our room by a small window in the toilet and had to break the door so we could leave.

It was so stressful because we had a taxi waiting for us and a plane to catch! It was my birthday so the lady at the reception said that this was their birthday gift for me before leaving!

We arrived to Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon. We found a very good hotel, or almost the best hotel we have ever been: with hot water, fridge, air- con, tv, and a really good wifi connection. We stayed one week in Saigon.

We visited the Cu Chi tunnels. The tunnel network of Ben Dinh was the headquarters of the Viet Cong during the 1960s war. The tunnel system stretched from Saigon to the Cambodian border; in the district of Cu Chi alone there were more than 250 km of tunnels. The network included numerous trapdoors, constructed living areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals and kitchens. The tunnels allowed the Viet Cong to make surprise attacks wherever the tunnels went, and to disappear suddenly into hidden trapdoors without a trace.

We visited one part of this network which is enlarged and upgraded versions of the real thing.

It's crazy to think that people lived in these tunnels, even with the enlarged ones you could feel little bit claustrophobic.

There was also a shooting field where we tried to shoot with a AK 47. It was very impressive and heavy too!

War remnants museum is dedicated to the war with the Americans. There are photographs illustrating US atrocities, pictures of deformed children… Very disturbing and shocking.

The museum wasn't very objective; this is the story from the Vietnamese people's side.

There was also the famous picture: "The Girl in the Picture", a photograph of Kim Phuc who was burned by napalm and running on the road.

I thought it was very shocking and sad museum to visit.

I and David wanted to buy a motorbike, so we stayed in Saigon until we found one. There was a Vietnamese guy who rented bike tours to tourists and he also had one Honda Bonus to sell. When we saw the bike, we knew this was the bike! We paid 350 dollars.
