Arrived in Saigon (Ho Chi Mihn City) on Friday and will return to Singapore tomorrow (Monday). Having a wonderful time--Vietnam is so different from Singapore and Tokyo. Went today to the Chu Chi(?) tunnels, where the Viet Cong hid out for so long. They cover an incredible 150 miles underground and show such ingenuity and skill, it's no wonder the Vietnamese prevailed. Yesterday, we went to what used to be call "The War Crimes Museum," but now has a less combative name. It's sobering to see the death and destruction that humans inflicted on other humans, including carpet bombing and agent orange.
Also today, went to several old, old Chinese temples, but also have been enjoying great Vietnanes food at wonderful restaurants.
Very crowded streets; for every car, there are probably 500 motor bikes and crossing the street is worth your life. But it's so much fun here and so interesting to be in a Communist country, albeit with very friendly people. They're poor, though, and just starting to come up in the world.
