So I went this after noon to see the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. I was intending to go in and see "Uncle Ho's" actual preserved body but they close it at 11:00am everyday. Not much for the working hours. Instead me and some people from the group went to the Ho Chi Minh Museum right next to it. I have to say that I was not impressed. For a museum dedicated to straight up propaganda, it fell short. It was funny at times to see how much the Vietnamese build this guy up to be God-like and it was also a bit strange to see how popular this is with the local people. They actually do like this guy. Other than that we went and saw some monestary in the middle of town and had some lunch. Im going to relax for a bit and then go an get a Vietnamese message at 5pm. Its a proper message though and not in whore house in case you are wondering. hopefully the waterpuppets will be fun tonight. I am really looking forward that.
