The Ho Chi Minh compound
Vietnam continues to be just like I knew it from the war movies: rainy and foggy. We visited the Ho Chi Minh compound, where we could see the house where he lived and worked, his mausoleum with the open casket (no recording allowed inside) and the museum. Among other gifts received throughout his live, we found a wooden brandy bottle from the Romanian people.
While navigating an unimaginable maze of alleys we also found the remains of a US Air Force B52 shot down in 1972 for violating the Hanoi airspace with aggressive intentions.
The city is very similar to Paramaribo and Havana, with architecture showing a great past but too much decay everywhere 🙁
