From the start some photos

Well i had to slowly copy photos to my phone from memory card till the phone memory was full then empty and repeat. It does mean that now i have all the photos off my phone.
 First some photos from Singapore airports


This is a butterfly hatchery masses of cocoons
First hotel My My Hotel

On the way to the Chu Chi tunnels we stopped at a disable peoples art factory. Where they made bueatiful pictures from egg shells and polished sea shells.





Then at the tunnels we saw traps and pop up holes. Obviously i couldn't fit in one.


They have made these tunnels bigger for fat american tourists but i had to crawl to make it with shoulders rubbing both sides. So they have also increased the size for me.
There was a firing range with different guns there but it was of little interest to me. Maybe when i get to Cambodia. There was the usual stuff there to. Sandles from tyres, shells in lots of sizes, old tanks, bomb craters.
  Of course all the time i stayed in HCMC the first time was spent looking for a motorbike. Not at my first local, great place, lots of expats who where helpful in the bike hunt so many days where spent here waiting for someone with info to come to the pub lol. It's called Huong Vy go there if in HCMC very helpful saff as well.
The Second hotel i sstayed in was cheaper than the first and it showed, but it was what i needed.
Then finally i found a bike probable got ripped on the price a bit at US$500 but hopefully it'll make it. I took a photo of the clocks after the speedo had "been fixed" but only the needle move, nevermind. But then of course i finally was ready to start my trip. Leaving HCMC was interesting to say the least. Although saying that i didn't find HCMC traffic that bad. It flows better than western cities because of all the bikes and maybe, they just know how to use a round about, most westerners don't.
