Tribute to Ho Chi Minh

Ho Chi Minh married nationalism to communism and
perfected the deadly art of guerrilla warfare.
Affectionately known as Uncle Ho.
The dude who drove the French away and fought with the Americans.
The Vietnamese adored him with deep respect
and renamed the capital-Saigon to his name: Ho Chin Minh City.



Say hi to Uncle Ho!!!!


Ho Chi Minh's testament

Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum.

Ironically, he didn't want his dead body to be embalmed.
In his will he specified that his ashes be buried in urns on
three hilltops in Vietnam, saying, "Not only is cremation good
from the point of view of hygiene, but it also saves farmland."


He was actually quite good looking, huh?


A walk through in Vietnamese history at the Revolution Museum.
Very enriching experience despite the bad lightings and the old
display cases.


Think about it, Vietnam flag is quite cool.


Uncle Ho's inspiring words...


I think it was about the Vietnam war...


The power of visual overrides any languages.
