I'll put up a few pictures too. The first picture is of the most amazing bowl of soup, purchased from the "lunch lady" of Anthony Bourdain fame.Every day she makes one delicious meal, which usually runs out early in the day. Luckily, we made it before the soup was all gone. It was full of squid, shrimp, pork and love.
The second photo is from a weekend trip to the Cu Chi tunnels, outside of Saigon. The 3-story tunnel system was created by the Viet Cong during the war to hide from/attack the South Vietnamese/Americans. They're tiny, pitch black, and full of bats. We crawled through the first and second levels, and 3 of us braved the third level (13 meters deep), emerging sweaty and suffering from "tunnel thigh". Afterwards, we got a chance to speak to a VC fighter, who had lived in the tunnels for ten years. The VC stayed underground for up to 7 days, coming out for a few hours at night to stretch their legs.
The third picture is of our sleeping room in a traditional Vietnamese craft village. Lots of mosquitos. Not a lot of bedding. Okay, that's all.
