Cu-Chi Tunnel Entrance
One of the access points to the Cu-Chi tunnels used by the Vietnamese during the war. It was about the size of a large shoebox.

Cao Dai Temple Garden
The temple is in an extended gated town with lovely gardens and buildings. Apparently they pretty much make their own laws.

It was hot -- to enter the temple you had to take your shoes off which made walking around pretty painful.
