War Remnants Museum

No Trip to Vietnam is complete without a visit

to the War Remnants Museum:

a unique place to showcase the horrors of

a meaningless war that other people wage on your

own backyard.

a war that lasted a ridiculous 17 years!

Many photos have become iconic:

they define the war.

Not a piece of art or collage

but a real, grim tribute to the

matyrs of war.

He looks so hot and hunky.

I thought he was Josh Hartnet or Ben Affleck

from the movie "Pearl Harbour"

but, NO! he is a real soldier in a real war setting.

I hope he gets to walk out of this untraumatised, and ALIVE.

Lots of grim faced visitors to this place.

No one laughs or giggles.

Stark reality of POWs

shackled at the neck.

Mao Ze Dong visits in 1972

(I have run out of photo space!!!! I will try to circumvent this

problem and scout around for some gigabytes)

C ya!
