Saigon - Cu Chi Tunnel

Posted by Syarif | Posted in | Posted on Thursday, September 11, 2008








The Cu Chi (pronounced as coo-chee) Tunnel is one of the main sites of hundreds of kilometres of tunnels all over South Vietnam.

The tunnel that was originally created was only about 3 feet in height and about 2 feet wide. This one that myself and fellow colleagues went in was actually enlarged for tourism purpose.

Being a minor claustraphobic, the journey of 65 metres in the tunnel felt really really really long.

Seriously, one of our team mate actually fell apart inside the tunnel - and a handful others gave up after only 2 metres inside.

All of us were wondering how did the Viet Cong survived for months in there.
