This is my first time in Vietnam. Till now I have been there 3 times, each time to a different city. As the photo below shows, Vietnam is a developing country. To me, I like to visit both developed and developing countries. Though it is lacking in infrastructure, it does offer a different insight into the everyday life of the locals and the history it reveals. It is a mere 1.5 hours flight from Singapore. Ho Chi Minh city is not really a popular tourist destination. Rather it is business travellers who will come here. But the 2 famous attractions here are the Mekong river cruise and the cu chi tunnels.

Ben Thanh Market. Go there for its cheap souvenirs

My boatman. They earn a living on these tourist cruises

Now we are at the cu chi tunnels. This is a retired real tank.
Yes, we can pay to shoot live rounds here
The tunnels. I did climb in. Claustrophobic
Coming out for fresh air!!
