Saigon & Mekong Delta

Saigon or in Vietnamese Ho Chi Min City (SAME SAME...but different! This is the most spoken sentence in whole south east asia :)) is an 8 Million City ...with 4 million motor cycles !!! :) and lies in the south of Vietnam. Saigon is the most modern city in Vietnam...but unfortunately is missing a little of the charm of the Old Quarter in Hanoi. But nevertheless I had a very good time in Saigon :).
Here some impressions:

chuchitunnel
At the CuChi Tunnel, 70 km from Saigon away. The CuChi Tunnel is a subsurface, 200 km long tunnel net. The tunnel net was built during the Vietnam War by the Vietcong.

Mekong Delta
The Mekong Delta lies in the southeast of Vietnam where the Mekong River approaches and empties into the sea through a network of tributaries. After the high life in Saigon I went on a three day boats tour through the quiet Mekong Delta.
