In the morning I went to the Cu Chi tunnels, it\u2019s like two hours or so from Ho Chi Minh. I can really recommend to go there, the tour that I had was a \u00bd Day tour from 8:30 am till around 1pm so it doesn\u2019t really costs you a lot of time and it\u2019s also enough to see everything. The tour consisted of 4 Parts, A Propagandafilm about the Guerrilla soldiers, a tour where all the traps and ideas from the soldiers is shown and a walk through the narrow underground tunnels, a shooting range where you can try out some of the old weapons they used during the time and a eating part where you can try what the soldiers ate everyday, Taro. Its kinda like I imagine a sweet potato would taste like, it\u2019s shaped like a longer but thiner potato and also looks like it. I found it pretty tasty but eating just that everyday would be a little bit boring^^ The soldiers ate it because it grows very fast and almost everywhere in the jungle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the tour I got out a little bit away from my hotel to go to the streetfoodmarket near the binh tanh market and visited both. At the streetfoodmarket I got some real good Indian Chicken Vindaloo with Onion Pharata and a Mango lassi, back to the roots I guess^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this great meal I went to the binh tanh market and bought some stuff like chilis, lotusseeds (which taste soo different than I thought^^ much more crunchy and not really like a nut what I had expected \ud83d\ude48) and some other stuff for back home. In the internet stood the market would be packed with people and you would really have to fight to get to the center\u2026 Well when I went there (about 3pm) the market was relatively empty and I could easily walk through.
I then went back to my friends from the tattoo studio and chilled with them again, watched some videos, talked with them about tattoos, culture and life in Vietnam and watched how they made their sketches and tattooed people. The guys make some awesome work, I will post some of their works when I get good shots at them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
