Ever since we heard of the Cu Chi Tunnels in Cu Chi, has it been a place that we wanted to go and see. Little did we know that we would be able to actually shoot a gun. the M16 here. For myself (Leanne), this will be the first time shooting a gun, was I a little scared... DEFINITELY.
Now, you probably wondering, what are the Cu Chi Tunnels?
Before world war 2, indochina, a land between indonesia and china were controlled by the french. After looksing their power in this region during the war, vietnam managed to gain it's independence. However, due to constant issue's pertaining to the land ownership, Vietnam was split into 2, The north and the south. With the north being a communist state controlled by this man, Ho Chi Min, and the south being anti-communist.
Ho Chi min was supported by the Soviet union in order to diversify communsim through out asia and as the cold war began to intensify, the US sent troops to the south of vietnam in order to put an end to communism in the region. It was at this time, Ho Chi Min decided to send troops to South known as the Viet Cong, A commnist group of soldiers trained to use gorilla tactics during war.
The Viet Cong began to dig tunnels all over the South of Vietnam in order to transport supplies, lay traps and launch suprise attacks in order to defeat the enemy. Over the years, an area called the Cu Chi tunnels increasingly became popular by tourists who wanted to see what these tunnels looked like, and how the gorilla tactics of the Viet Cong were used during battle.
it was due to the popularity of Cu Chi that made us curious. So we decided to hop onto a bus and join a group to and see what Cu Chi is all about and try to understand what made the viet cong so strong and powerful, and see tactics they used to defeat the US in what is know as one of the costliest wars on earth.
We also wanted to take a bus to Dalat and see what that is like as we have not taken a sleeper bus yet in Vietnam

The children at the gun range had more chill than I would have, that was intense. I appreciate you guys for sharing the history of countries you visit, even when it's dark. It's not always about sunny beaches and photogenic spots, there are people who lived through all that and remembering their history is honouring them. Awesome, intense, but awesome vid โคโค๐ฐ๐ช

โUncle Hoโ (Ho Chi Minh) would give you a โlikeโ for visiting the tunnels! And I relate to Leanneโs shock and surprise when she was hit by the shell cartridge. Ouch! Wonderful video!๐๐บ

Hello friend, So lovely to see you both visiting Chu Chi Tunnels. The Vietnam soldiers used amazing war tactics to defeat American army. I'm proud of you both for the first time you learned to shoot with real guns like soldiers.

Vietnam looks amazing I only got to spend a couple of days in Saigon (Ho Chi Min) a few years back with work. Great Video again Buddymoon.

Hi Guys. Absolutely proud as a South African to see you doing this and allowing me to see the rest of the world that I can not see if you did not visit and pass on to us on Youtube. I pray for you to keep going on until you are personally fulfilled or tired of travelling. Really enjoy watching. Sometimes it looks like you are panicking but you are very strong as a couple and Leanne may sound like she is weak but she come out stronger than ever. Thank you for an amazing Channelโคโค๐ฏ

You guys are so sweet. A trick to overcome the lamguage barrier is that you can use the camera of google translate for the translation of Vietnamese. Welcome to Vietnam, hope you have wonderful time here.

GOSH even watching you guys being inside those tunnels gave me huge amount of anxiety :D So interesting but I don't know if I could go there without panicking!

Great video, Buddies. It was interesting seeing those booby traps and tunnels. The corridors on the bus looked just as claustrophobic as the tunnels.
