Hi Everybody One way to get young people to think about how they are connected to the rest of the world is to ask them to take a look at each others' clothing labels.Hi Everybody One way to get young people to think about how they are connected to the rest of the world is to ask them to take a look at each others' clothing labels....

A great half day trip out from Saigon to the Cu Chi tunnels which are now becoming world famous for showing how the Vietnamese countered the firepower of firstly the French and then the Americans - by going underground, and pretty much in this area (end of the Ho Chi Minh trail) they did it right under their noses.A great half day trip out from Saigon to the Cu Chi tunnels which are now becoming world famous for showing how the Vietnamese countered the firepower of firstly the French and then the Americans - by going underground, and pretty much in this area (end of the Ho Chi Minh trail) they did it right under their noses....

Mar 16, 2006 - Goodbye Vietnam Hello Cambodia!

Oh god another border crossing!! Hurrah a really nice bus which left Saigon at a decent time 9am!! We arrived at the border crossing in Bavet some 3 hours later hoping this one would run more smoothly than the last!! Immirgration officials seemed all to pleased to get rid of us with a swift stamp of the passport and a shove out the door!! Relitavly painless experience!! However we were then confronted with our bags on the side of the road (They should have been on the bus!!) Full credit to them for their cheek as they wanted $1 per bag to put them back on the bus!!! We were ushered down to cambodian control where obtaining our visa was easy but very slow then on to control two for our entry stamp after here on to vaccination control where we had to show our health documents (The guy in front of us didn't have one and apparently $1 means you have a clean bill of health!!!) Waiting for the other 4 westerners from our bus to go through the same process panic sets in as we realise our bus and luggage is nowhere in sight!!! (Here we go again!!)An ever helpful local said we could go on his bus for a tidy sum!! But now knowing to never trust a Southeast Asian with dollar signs for eyeballs we declined the offer.Oh god another border crossing!!
