"The Vietnam Red Cross reported as many as 3 million Vietnamese people have been affected by Agent Orange, including at least 150,000 children born with birth defects. According to Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 4.8 million Vietnamese people were exposed to Agent Orange, resulting in 400,000 people being killed or maimed, and 500,000 children born with birth defects."

On our way to Cu Chi Tunnel, our bus stopped at this paint shop where war victims of the Agent Orange work. As their source of income, they make paintings made out of egg shell. I was so amazed by the process of it. They may have incomplete body parts but they have a lot of arts and skills in their minds! Amazing!

My favorite of them all.This painting is so relaxing to the eyes and you can really feel the calmness and the peacefulness of the painting even though it is not that colorful. You will be amaze because it was made of egg shells too bad I wasn't able to take pictures of it close up because it was too high for me.

They also offer these cutie sandals that has a very interesting details on it.

Cravings

Presenting Coffee Bean's new yogurt dessert :))

Last June 20 after having our dinner at California Pizza Kitchen (sponsored by Kuya :)) we have decided to have our coffee at Coffee Bean. I really wanted an ice cream but they insist in having coffee, no choice. :)) Kuya told us that Coffee Bean has its new Yogurt dessert. I'm not a big fan of Red Mango or any Yogurt ice creams so I don't found Kuya's suggestion. I ordered for a Pure Chocolate Ice Blended and Kuya ordered for an Almond Yogurt ( am i right). Basta the flavor of his Yogurt was almond. When he had his first spoon :)) he said it tastes like Ferrero so I had one, and it was SOOOO GOOOOD! PROMISE! and for that, i have my new favorite. :))


tama nga sabi nila. " hindi mo matitikman ang bigay kung hindi ka magtatry ng iba, baka mastock ka lng dun."

soo right.

*God is SO WILLING to give us something new, but we human are so selfish that we are just focus on what we want. If we just all know that GOD has something for us that is more than what we have and what we expect. Just give it all. Just Do it :)))

Good thing I've tried that yogurt almond, or else I will be forever stock in Pure Chocolate Ice Blended. :))

And now, I am craving for one! 

Hope you enjoyed!

Cu Chi Tunnel Escapade

"The tunnels were used by Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous guerrilla fighters. The tunnel systems were of great importance to the Viet Cong in their resistance to American forces, and helped achieve ultimate military success."

 Don't you dare to step on this or else....

 spikes are waiting for you.

 This hole serves as their source of oxygen. There are many of this around the place. When the enemies are around, they cover those holes with grass to cover the holes.

 Look how small the soldiers that time.

 This is one of their entrance through their tunnel, and I got the chance to see what is inside.

 It was so hot down there and was a little bit of scary.HAHA. The photo above is an evidence, BLURRED because my hands were really shaking. Plus, seeing the bat inside...AAAH!

 The photos above were the traps that the Vietnamese soldiers made for their enemies.

We also had the chance to experience shooting using their guns and it was so heavy!

The entrance of the tunnel. This part of the tunnel was 'edited' (a big LOL with that 'edited' word) already for the sake of the other tourists who are big, yes big.HAHA. 

I forgot to take pictures because my gawd! It was so hot inside and dark!

This is what it looks like after the tunnel experience. SPEECHLESS. lol

Good thing our tour guide has something for us! Yummy Cassava with sugar and some peanut-y something! HAHA!

Hope You Enjoyed!
