I'm catching up on your blog. I like the museum, especially the A-37. Those tunnels look rough. Good luck on the rest of your adventure. Hey Brook! I’m catching up on your blog.

I believe that you'd give it a sincere try, but slithering in damp dirt and high heat can only take you so many feet. I read somewhere of an NFL player that tried going in the tunnels and, after getting stuck, had to exit through a sealed-off chef's door that had been specially designed by the VC for one of their portly cooks.

Mrs. Big Mac, no way, he wouldn't stand a chance! He could walk into the bigger tourist entryways that have been constructed, and should be fine in the opening rooms, but crawling through any length of tunnel would be painful, maybe impossible, for him. He wouldn't be missing out on much fun, as you can see from my exhaustion. I'm glad you like the pictures! Wendy, thanks!

With your size, you would manage a lot better. Everyone who has been to Ho Chi Minh talks up the traffic like it's something crazy and chaotic, but it's not even close to the worst. I actually think HCMC traffic is very orderly. Sure there are a lot of scooters, but they are polite and have a logical flow to things. Walking across the street is a piece of cake even though every tour guide book makes it sound like imminent death. All you have to do is keep on walking, smoothly and slowly, with an eye on traffic. Ulaanbaatar's traffic is the most insane I've seen ANYWHERE! Maybe I'm a little biased since we nearly got killed at Naadam, and since cars don't seem to care if they run over people. Anyways, I thought you'd like to know that I think your city is #1! Bogy, I know you would do it! With your size, you would manage a lot better.
