Day 5

Day 5
We woke up early to eat breakfast at Phu my orphanage and went back to pack our bags to return to the hotel . we cab-ed back to hien ahn hotel to drop our bags.
Then we bus-ed to hyvong school to fetch the students there , we fetched our buddies and headed back to the bus...we tied the friendship band to our buddies . UNFORTUNATLY , there were not enough students . SO......i had to share MY buddy with jimson -.-
We bus-ed to cu chi tunnel and toured the place . we explored the place and saw how the people in the vietnam war survived . we also saw the hiding holes built by the vietnamese



some of us tried to get in...

even mr donny lee...


we also saw the traps built to disable the attacking soldiers during the vietnam war. we felt that the traps were very dangerous . we also felt that the people who built the traps were very clever as the traps targets the enemy's weak points.this people are called the gorillas. after walking for a few metres, the tour guide ask us if we want to go into the tunnels.


in the tunnels it was very dark but there is still light in there. even though there is light we bearly see. out from the tunnels we walk for a distance. then we saw a souvenir shop. rehka bought a tin cap which cost her a few hundred thousand tongs. after buying the souvenirs we countiue walking. so after some time, we finish the walk.

in the bus everybody was sleeping because all of us were tired after walking for a quite some time.



well it's time for lunch. we ate at the jollibean...us the muslims had to eat the same thing...after lunch we head to the Phu My Orphanage. arived at the Orphanage, we had to say goodbye to our buddies...it was hard to say goodbye to them because we had a good time together. it's like we've for years.






we had party with the orphanages, it was fun too...some of us played with them while some of them visted the orphanages. Those who went to visit the orphanages they felt sad and they realised how fortunate they are. some of them who played with the orphanages had fun. i can see many faces that are smilling.

After the party, we head for dinner at a restaurant,Pho 24. After dinner,we head back to the hotel to have some rest while the other half of the group went to Phu My orphanage. those who stayed in the hotel had debrief . Mr Lee, me and Hanafee went to the night market to shop for something. Then head back to the hotel to rest.
