Wow... what a truly interesting and immersive read @leifasaur. It definitely makes me want to visit Viet Nam. You have created a great feeling of connectedness with this post and I love the conversational tone. Those tunnels are fascinating but I think I'd find them too claustrophobic, even though I'm small enough to fit inside them! The food, I would die for. I love love love Vietnamese Street Food...although I'd need to find vegan gluten free too haha. Thanks for sharing so much detail about your trip. this is what a travel story should look like :-)

Yeah there was one section that had even been enlarged for visitors to go through. There were openings every 15 meters or so, I think I only did one or two sections before I was feeling way to claustrophobic. But then again maybe that would feel really cozy with bombs and shooting going off above.
Yes I want to go back there and eat again. Some of the people I had the meeting there with are foreigners that have lived there for like 1 to 3 years so they were a great resource on where to eat, and some cheap amazing food.
haha, I love this!
I spent 4 months in China near Guangzhou in 2000 and when we weren't having a night in, we used to eat at these little home cafes that sprung out of nowhere on the back streets of the local town. Great food, super cheap too! Honestly, we could have eaten out every night at the price! No comparison to chain restaurant prices.
Well, your post made me want Vietnamese too! And I can't get to Nam right now so I've told the hubby we need to take a night trip into London to see the Christmas lights, take the kids to Hamley's cos it's lovely at Christmas, and then head to Vietnamese Street Food for a meal at Westfields Mall.
