Visiting Tay Ninh Province
The three big reasons to visit Tay Ninh Province. Probably, the first on the list for most visitors is the Cu Chi tunnels. I visited those in 1992, which was before they were a big tourist draw.

This is my 12 visit to Vietnam
My current mission in Vietnam is going to the home villages of all my neices and nephews that have helped me in Vietnam
In 2005 I biked from Hanoi to Saigon. Probably the greatest trip I ever experienced.
I look forward to returning to Vietnam and enjoying the people and land of Vietnam.
I will be staying with my former Rotary Exchange Student Trang and her husband Huan and daughter Sarah.
I keep a bike at Trang's house and will be biking around Saigon on short trips.

Inside the curtain retainer
I noticed that they had sort of a channel around the inside of the Church. I asked why, is it for condensation? The answer was that the leadership of the Church can see in the future and that they predict Tay Ninh will have a colder climate in the future like Dalat. So, they built the Church so they could hang curtains inside and the curtains will be secured in those channels.

Tay Ninh
Kent, I've been enjoying your travel blog, even though I live in Saigon. I'm a frequent visitor to Tay Ninh and, as you know, my novel, "Tears of Tay Ninh" is set there and along the Cambodian border in 1966. You provided me with a little known fact, and that is General The is buried on Nui Ba Den -- Black Lady's Mountain. Thank you for that. Tay Ninh is a magical and a mystical place. It's one of my favorite places to go when I need to get away from the hussle and bustle of Saigon. The people in Tay Ninh are extremely friendly and helpful. Best to you on your journey through Viet Nam. Thomas
