  • Vietnam,  Cu Chi tunnels, one of the most famous battlegrounds of the Vietnam War. Today it is one of the country's prime tourist attractions, part of a new industry of war tourism. Sometimes, these spots seem to be memorials to wartime propaganda as much to the war itself. in their new struggle for foreign currency, the Vietnamese are exploiting their harsh history, offering visits to long-forgotten places that were once considered vital to America's national interests. Most of the visitors here are foreigners; the Vietnamese who come are mostly schoolchildren with their teachers. Cu Chi tunnels, one of the most famous battlegrounds of the Vietnam War.

The Cu Chi Tunnels lie 75 km northwest of Ho Chi Min City. At the time of the Vietnam war, the tunnel system stretched from the outskirts of Saigon all the way to the Cambodian border:  something like 250 kilometers of tunnels. The tunnel system, built over 25 years starting in the 1940s, let the Viet Minh and, later, the Viet Cong, control a huge rural area.  It was an underground city with living areas, kitchens, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers.  In places, it was several stories deep and housed up to 10,000 people who virtually lived underground for years getting married, giving birth, going to school. They only came out at night to furtively tend their crops..

  • Vietnam,Ho Chi Minh City: Once known as the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the name change reflects a desire not to offend wealthy tourists. Despite the rhetoric, this museum has become one of the most popular attractions with Western visitors of all political persuasions. It is a stark reminder that wars rarely have winners and are never glorious. Along with the many photographs, the museum displays US armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, bombs and infantry weapons. There is even a guillotine used by the French on pesky Viet Minh 'troublemakers'.

  • Vietnam,DMZ. souvenir photo at the end of the tunnel. The North and South bombarded each other over and over again. To survive, villagers who lived here built underground tunnel complexes. Tunnels collapsed under bombardment, or naturally -- sometimes killing the people inside. One complex that survived is near the village of Vinh Moc...The tour that takes you through these claustrophobic passages -- as much as 25 meters (about 80 feet) underground -- gives you a good idea of the will to survive that the Vietnamese had. Tens of thousands of villagers lived down here for as many as five days at a time. Seventeen babies were born in the underground delivery room.As you walk farther and farther underground, you pass holes dug into the walls at the sides of the tunnels where families lived during the frequent bombardments.....
