Found the Right One

Goodbye Vietnam! On our flight to Singapore, I opted to wear this cute sando loose top from Vietnam. I really love the color combination the top, red, black and yellow. It brings me the feeling of wearing a The Avenger top a Vietnam edition. HAHAHA. A big lol for my humor. Anyway, under my vietnam top is a dress then I just folded the top so it won't look too bulky. 




I am so inlove with my Solemate sandals, felt like I have found my soulmate! I bought it for only p349.75, and it so comfortable to wear because of the softness if this. This has been my travel buddy on our trip. I also have another pair by SoleMate of SM Department Store with the same price.

Go look for your own SoleMate pairs on SM Department stores!



Hope you enjoyed!

Handicapped Handicrafts

"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.

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!
