Today I went to the Cu Chi tunnels. This is a vast tunnel network that the Viet Cong lived in during part of the war. The tunnels themselves are tiny and it was pretty sweet to crawl through some of it (widened for our convenience). We even watched a real propaganda video from the 60's that decorated the "American-killing heroes" for their bravery against all odds. On guy was giving a little presentation. He explained that the reason the Americans couldn't get into the tunnels was because they were smoking too much weed (wouldn't you?). This in turn made them very hungry and they ate too many hamburgers and hot dogs. If they tried to get into the tunnels, all entrances were of course well hidden, they would get stuck or fall into one of many booby traps. These traps sucked. If you fell in and didn't die right away, you might later die of blood loss or cobras. There was also a shooting range that was loud as fuck BLAM BLAM BLAM. It cost over a dollar per bullet and nobody could hit a thing. It seems like lots of people enjoy paying 40 dollars to shoot dirt, idiots.
I must leave Saigon soon because I might go crazy here and also I have bed bugs.
