Nah, can't fit
Nah, I'm stuck
Good Morning
from Saigon!
oh my god
look at that humidity
oh wow
it's only 7 o'clock in the morning
and it's this humid
I look heavenly
Ah, there you go
That's better
That's our security guard at our reception
Much better
Today we're going on a tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels
Off we go
Van is here
That is us
Cu Chi Tunnels are
a very popular attraction nowadays
it's a series of underground tunnels
that were used back in the Vietnam War
by the North Vietnamese
just waiting for a couple more people
and then we're going on a speedboat
to the Cu Chi Tunnels
So we just hopped off the boat
and I have boat hair. It's not looking good
Now we're just waiting for the tour to start
We're going to spend about 2 hours or so
exploring the tunnels
Right now we're being taken to a showroom
Just gettin a bit of education
on the Cu Chi Tunnel and the Vietnam War
She will give you guys some information about the map
and the diagram of the tunnels
Centipedes are poisonous
but Millipedes aren't
Nah, can't fit!
Nah, I'm stuck
They didn't want to kill the other side
They just try to make them have really bad injure
You have to buy a minimum of 10 bullets
it's going to cost about 500,000 VND
Which is about $30
$30 AUD
How was it?
We're just trying some foods that
the soldiers use to eat back during the war
one of the things is
Casava
Dipped in sugar and crushed peanuts
I actually like it
it's really good
on it's own its plain
but with the sugar it tastes alright
We're gonna enter a tunnel now
Apparently they made this even wider for tourist to fit in
So let's see if we can even fit
This is an underground bunker
(Malie) Ok it's pretty small
(John) Can't stop
Can't stop because there's people behind us
So the tunnel we just went through
is actually
redesigned to make it a bit bigger for tourists
I barely just fit through that
Now our tour guide is taking us to one of the original bunkers
This is a VIP bunker
of the Cu Chi Tunnels
where the most important person stays
He's the secretary-general of the communist party
He's considered one of the most person during the war
his bed
where he sleeps
and if he wants to hide from the enemies
There's another tunnel network down there as well
At the end of the tour they provide us with some lunch
at the Cu Chi Tunnels
by the river
So that was actually a pretty good lunch
now we're actually on our way back
but we're going via a bus
We're at a rice paper village
where the villagers just make rice paper
'Banh Trang' - Rice paper
(Malie) Your turn
Bigger a little bit
ok, enough, enough!
oh no
Looks easy, but it's not easy is it?
Round 2
So good, lift it up now
That's it! :D
(John) You can do it, you can do it
It's got a hole
but looks OK still
it's got a hole
Today
we learnt how to make rice paper
I think if I made a 3rd one
It would've been good
Now we're at the cricket farm
omg I'm terrified of insects
Crickets, everything!
lucky they're not jumping around
Day time
all crickets stay like this
they don't fly
they only fly at night time
that's why night time we use a cover
Big bite
is it crunchy?
(John) taste ok?
It's like prawn shells
If you don't think about it, tastes ok
There you go
(John) I got a rogue one
Oh, that's good
(Malie) Really? It's actually good?
Garlicky with a bit of soya sauce
I think I have some cricket in my teeth
How'd you like the tour?
I really
enjoyed the tour
It was very eye-opening
We learnt heaps
about the country. Highly recommend this company
It's called Les Rives
Hang - our tour guide
She was excellent
If you have the chance

That was pretty cool
It's a delicacy
We'll see you soon
