Happy ending

I have spent the most wonderful day in Saigon. This morning I went to the Cu Chi Tunnels where I learned all about the Guerilla force, how they lived and why they were so successful at attacking the Americans who dared to come their way. Then this afternoon I spoke to some really nice Vietnamese ladies who wanted to practice their English with me. I also asked a policeman what a bunch of stages and things were all about and he said their was a chinese party thing going on tonight, so I took myself along and ended up being something of a feature! I ate some local delicacies with chopsticks which everyone had a good laugh about, everyone who passed me said hello and smiled, and loads of people came to sit with and talk to me, again wanting to practice their English. A bunch of kids took loads of photos of me with them too giving the peace sign to the camera. The Vietnamese are so nice! A perfect end to a lovely country.
