Ho Chi Minh-stad, Vietnam - Polarsteps

We went today on a tour to the Cu Chi tunnels. We started at a place where victims of the Agent Orange weapon can work, they make beautiful paintings and other art objects! After that we went to the cu chi tunnels and they showed us what kind of weapons and hiding places they used during the war. Inside the tunnels you could choose for 20, 40, 60 or 100 metres deep walking underground. Most people stopped at 20 metres but i went for 100 metres. I was lucky i'm small because the tunnels are very tiny, i could still walk if i bent over but most people had to crawl! Very cool experience. After that we were allowed to fire some bullets with a Carbine rifle, it was awesome! We ended the day at the street market for some street food, dilicious.
