Tour of duty

I went to inner suburb of Vietnam today with Farhan and Shahril. Just the 3 of us ( with other tourist as well) to visit Chu Chi Tunnel. What is Chi Chi Tunnel? Well, try check it out here for more infos.. Its really interesting to see the booby traps used by the Viet congs. To see how they actually survived during the war, how they struggle with nothing at all, but they did their best, made their own bombs and also sandals that leave no tracks and the most amazing thing is the tunnel... After visiting the tunnel, we are given the choice to try the riffle at the shooting range.Me, Farhan and Shahril shared some USDs to do this. It's 1 USD per bullet and we wanna try shooting with one shot Gun and a riffle. Boy, it felt good....It's my first time at a shooting range...hehehe... After the shootings, we were brought to a small hut, and we given a meal a'la Viet Cong.. it's ubi kayu and kacang tumbuk with gula... (Yummy! kalau ada sambal ikan bilis hehehehe..ingat nanti balik shah alam, nak pi cari ubi kayu lah...). Later the chu chi tunnel tour was concluded with a 15 minutes documentary about the vietnam war with the U.S.

Made some new frends along the way, I say next to Jason from Melbourne. He's from Kuching but his family migrated when he was young and he grew up in Adelaide. what a small world. hehheehehhe He's from Melbourne Uni doing Medicine and just finished his placement in HBKL.

We also met this couple from Holland where the husband is actually half indonesian and half holland. Cool... And they have been vacationing for the past three months travelling the asian continent.

And there's Philip who's camera batery ran out and we helped to take his photo with the rifle and while shooting with my Olympus and will email him later.

The time in Vietnam is one hour behind Malaysian time.

After 2 hours journey from Chuchi Tunnel back to the city, we had lunch and then ikut Mak mak pi jalan jalan city tgk tgk kedai. I didn't shop much pun. I beli some stuff for my sister je. Rasanya barang untuk dia je yang banyak hehehehe sebab tgk apa pun teringat kat dia je...

A whole lot of photos to be uploaded later when i have time. Sekarang pun boleh ( gigih bawak card reader gi vietnam ni...) but dun feel like it. Hari lain je la...Okay, back to my KERJA kejap before i go to bed.
