A Full Daytrip from Saigon to Cu Chi Tunnel & Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Hi Friends,

 I hope all you doing great! :)


This time I have been a day trip (was awesome :) ), the destination is quite close to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and one of the tourist attraction place, Cu Chi Tunnel and Mekong Delta cruize area.

Cu Chi Tunnel and Mekong Delta are located Southern part of Vietnam. Now I will describe the places more in detail with respected photos.


Cu Chi Tunnel

(Pronounced as Qu Chi Tunnel)

Vietnam War is one of the longest lasted war, nearly 19 years. During that time, Vietnamese army soldiers applied a lot of techniques that could bring victory for Vietnam. One of the techniques which they applied was "Attack during the night time while American soldiers haven't guessed".
To accomplish that Vietnamese soldiers built "Underground tunnel which is about 120km long". Vietnamese soldiers had been hidden there night time and started open a fire to Americans.
The tunnel is very complex, easy to get lost. Also, the size of it is very small, only Vietnamese soldiers can fit during that time as Americans are tall and well shaped, could not fit the tunnel gate.

This stair will lead the heart of the Tunnel
The tunnel was soo small, for me, I almost crawled like a toddler to move forward. :P
Since there is no window or any chance to air circulation, very suffocating environment.
In the tunnel, I was walked or crawled 60metres and requested a leader to lead me to the exit gate from the tunnel. A bit tiring, still made good memory(experience) after trying out and felt very deeply respect towards Vietnam army, how the Vietnamese soldiers fought against Americans in this condition. Of course, the main (the first) purpose for them was definitely "Victory" that's why soldiers tolerated these difficulties. :)

During the Cu Chi Tunnel visit, I felt very deeply how the people really wanted the Peace, for that ready to do everything. Most importantly, the strategy of the fight and soldiers indefinite strength and effort were priceless.

Mekong Delta

A small town where surrounded by rivers and islands. Great place to explore local people daily lives.
Very beautiful, quiet and calm place, that kept a rich culture of South Vietnam.

If you want to explore and deeply feel how the local lives, this would be a good destination btw. :)

The environment here is very peaceful, calm. Personally, I really like it and many tourists were here.
Another good reason to explore South Vietnam more and more! :)

Finally, my day trip is ended in this place. The water level was a bit up since the Raining season has already started. Almost everyday raining here, so the mud and water combination made this type of watercolor. 

That's all my friends :) Thank you. 

P.S: For photos, all credits will go to me. 

I am always motivated by you guys because you are the best reader! :)

Keep exploring and Enjoy your day! :)

IITB - CSE graduate student (2016-2018) learned 3 Lessons from IITB

Yay, it is been a long time since I haven't updated on my blog. Today found a good time to write little about my IITB life and lessons learned from there. In July 2016, I landed in Mumbai city, India for studying master in Computer Science. Still, I could remember that day; very humid, at night I reached the campus. Couples sitting, friends chitchatting and walking. Even though it was 2am, I felt that people there a bit active at night. Reached the hostel..., Unfortunately, my room was not available at that time, so I stayed in the TV room that night. Early morning, fortunately, I made a friend with a girl. :) (Not remember her name now :p) We went a mess and had breakfast. First time seeing the mess, it was big for me also many students were there. Most of the students had already made friends, sat with them and were laughing and all. Then went to my department (Computer Science and Engineering (Kresit)), attended freshie intro. This was the first time for me to be

Inspirational books which help you to develop in self-mentor and in finance

Dear my friends, It's been a very long time I haven't publish any post, sorry for that :) :). Today I am going to give a brief idea regarding inspiration, self-development and financial books.  Many of us eagerly develop ourselves in many ways including self-help, motivation as well as fundamental finance education. Most of our general knowledge's main base comes from books that we have read. Sometimes it is hard to get exactly what books are suitable for our interest and aims that we are going to achieve. For me I am kind of selective in terms of books, especially motivational and personal - finance. Here is the list of the books which I really loved and gave enormous impact not only in my self-development and in my life, but also become my lifetime mentor and adviser. This is the books I am suggesting to you for weekend reading. Self-help, motivational books Slight Edge by Jeff Olson (Success book) Very motivational and educational. Will give yo

Power of Happy Thoughts

Hello my friends, Today I am going to share with you guys about " Power of happy thoughts ". Every morning when you wake up, please say to yourself  "What a good day!" , " This is my day!" , " My life is precious "  or similar words which can motivate (sharpen) you in whole day. I am sure that most of you know how the thoughts impact our lives. You may already read from "Secret" and "Law of Success" books. Everybody knows that whatever we think in our brain, the result will be transmitted by those thoughts either "Good" or "Bad". We attract what we think. But why do we sometimes disappointed, feel sad or even talk rubbish things about people or something? Why can't we stop thinking bad things or feeling? Have you ever tried to change yourself and ended up with no success? Most of us say these words everyday without consciousness. "it is very difficult to get job", &q
