A sightseeing day.
And where better to start than The Museum of Ho Chi Minh City?
Well, probably anywhere as it turned out.
The ground floor housed an odd assortment of items (including, thrillingly, a lamp from a tugboat that won the People's Award for being a great tugboat..)
Honest.
There were also a few obligatory stuffed animals.
As far as I can tell, they were never aboard the award-winning tugboat.
The upper floor was devoted to the heroic struggle of the Vietcong. It mainly featured items previously owned by ex-military types who now needed space in the loft........
I'd been prepared for some tough viewing regarding the Vietnam war.
However, nothing could have prepared me for the following exhibits, both of which were used in the Vietcong tunnels.
Cruel and unusual punishments indeed.
