Today we visited Cu Chi Tunnel and the main highlights was going through the tunnel itself.It was made during the American occupation to protect themselves from the bombs and allow them to be protected under the hard dirt.As the tunnels were relatively small this allowed the vietnam people that lived in these tunnels to move around undetected by all the american soldiers for them.They also created many traps to kill unsuspecting American Soldiers they happened to walk on them,they also were very smart and wore the American uniforms so that they will not be fired on immediately when seen.
We managed to go through one of those short tunnels and it was very small and hard to navigate through when we were told that it had actually already been widened for foreigners I was surprised as it was already very squeasy.
