Semi-Famous Because of Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam

They say that the universe has a strange sense of humor. I’ve never believed that until my friend Leanne wrote to me at the beginning of September to tell me that I’m semi-
famous in Vietnam.

Vietnam’s Cu Chi Tunnel System

One special area just outside of Ho Chi Minh City played an extraordinary part in Vietnamese history just over 35 years ago. John and I are both interested in the history of the Vietnam War, so a visit to Cu Chi Tunnel system, Ben Duoc Tunnel has been on both our bucket lists for some time now. Located 70km North-West of Ho Chi Minh City, this unique architectural structure forms a system of underground tunnels spanning over 200km in length.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Carrie. I’m a Canadian living in Taiwan with Ankylosing Spondylitis, Fibromyalgia, and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, among other health issues.

When I first started MSW in 2007, I wrote a lot about living abroad and my travels in Asia. This site has never veered from its main mission statement, which is to travel and learn about Asia with me.

I’ve been blogging about chronic illness since 2009. MSW provides information for other chronically ill patients, patient support, and I engage in patient advocacy across many platforms.

If you’ve found my site content helpful, please consider buying me a coffee through the link above. Your kind and generous donation is used towards site maintenance fees ($120/yr) and my medical bills which are over $2,000US a month.

My illnesses have shaped my worlds and have inspired me to support other patients. Please help me make a difference in the lives of other patients while helping to support my own medical bills and site fees.
