the original tunnel entrance by the viet cong

the cu chi tunnel was used during the vietnam war by the viet cong to avoid the american soldiers. the original entrance is so small that only a very skinny person can get in!

My grandma is from the south of Vietnam idk what south soldiers were called, but she said when the Vietcong beat America and the South the Vietcong filled the streets of her town and started shooting their Ak-47s and other guns in the air and people would commit suicide off their houses. She said we were luckly to be Chinese or they would of executed my grandpa

fat people can't fit in it

[geolotus12]

@vietanmay911 of course not! the north vietnamese soldiers were tiny... they weighed like 100 lbs and had a 28 inch waist. but they can run 6 minute miles for an hour~!

@Redfield20554 what's his name? maybe he knows my friend barry akin

[geolotus12]

@Redfield20554 imagine yourself in total darkness in 18 inches of confined space, don't know if you're going up down left or right for an hour! man i couldn't even do 3 minutes!

[geolotus12]

@iksproduction sorry it took so long to reply i've been super busy commuting to my new work, you gotta go in person and experience it!

[geolotus12]

@thomasrabbit199 when i tried to cross the tunnel in total darkness it was the scariest thing in my life. i only travelled about 25 yards, but i could hear my heart pounding and i just wanna get outta there!

[geolotus12]

@gasdorf i dunno, i'm gonna ask barry akin, he's an american solder who now works for me, he was a tunnel rat, specializing in finding vietcon. i'll bet he knows everything about the tunnel, he saw at least 13 of his friends die there

@AccordGTR i ate up and down the street from my hotel, and the food was so awesome and cheap! it was like $1.50 american dollars for a whole meal,and it was really good, i never got sick! but i got severly sunburned at the beach and had to lay in the bathtub with luke warm water for lik 24 hours! the sunburn scar stayed on my belly for almost 6 months!

[geolotus12]

wow, was that in the 60s? i went to visit 4 years ago and the chinese vietnamese were treated better than the locals, wonder why? maybe because i stayed at a 4 star hotel that costed almost $30 a night? lol
