Some Saigon photos....


Gwil made a friend outside one of the bars we went to with Darren. This little kid had been trained by his mum to drop packets of gum down the back of our chairs. He'd then refuse to take them back, making you feel like you had to give him some money! So cheeky! The kid took a liking to Gwil and ended up wrapping himself around his arm.


Em's birthday dinner at Xu in Saigon. The food was amazing (and the bill was almost 3,000,000 dong!)


We shot AK47's at the Cu Chi Tunnels! No training or ear protection were necessary -according to the guy who loaded our ammo.



The AK47 isn't a ladies gun... apparently the M16 is much more Em's style (but I stuck with the AK47 still)



In the tunnels. They are only just over a metre high, and the Vietcong lived in them for years during the war. They used them for hiding, fighting and living. There are 250kms of tunnels in total. We didn't last long in them - they're very dark, and you get a little bit claustrophobic.

There are heaps more on Flickr, but these are some of our favourites.
