Such a well-organized half-day trip. Crawling through the 100m tunnel system at Cu Chi was both thrilling and humbling. Afterward, sitting down to eat authentic wartime cassava with hot tea while listening to the guide’s historical insights was beautiful. The second half at the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City tied the whole story together perfectly.
