Saigon - War Museum and Cu Chi tunnels........

OFF THE WIRE
The war museum is in Saigon - the tunnels are about 2 hours bus ride away.

Online batch of photos of the museum. Doesn't show the most gruesome of photos.

The tunnels actually go back to the 1940's when the Vietnamese fought the French.

Then they expanded them during the 1960's War with the North and the U.S.

The tunnels were too small for big US servicemen to go into thus allowing evasion.

The mound of dirt is actually a termite hill that disquises breathing tubes for air & ventilation.

Very good online batch of photos shoing the tunel system.
