The central marketAnyone for a cyclo? 
How about frogs legs?
Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon reminds us of Bangkok 30 years ago. There are more motorbikes than cars. We are staying in a family guesthouse off a small lane near the heart of "Backpackerland".

We took a tour to the Cu Chi tunnels where the locals lived underground during the war. The Americans blew up some of the tunnels and they have renovated others for tourists. The land above the tunnels was sprayed with defoliant so there was not much food for the soldiers. They gave us tapioca root and a tea made from a local herb so we could experience the food the soldiers ate. We had to 'duck walk' 100 metres in the tunnels as they were so low and narrow. They were built for short skinny Asians!
Visited a Government run factory that employed Agent orange Victims to make lacquer ware.
