HCMC Vietnam

Big city life with coffee places like Starbucks and about the same price. Mostly folks from out of the country going in there. Yep a church in a country that the people mainly believe in Buddhism. Today I went to the palace and viewed the bunker style basement they used during the war years. I also visited the War Remnants Museum which had lots of information from the Vietnam war that the USA was involved in.They are still recovering from the agent orange and other things we sprayed on the country side. Lots of USA war materials laying around in the Museum. The poor folks that just lived in the country side got the brunt of the effects of the war. It is a lot like folks in the country's around Vietnam. We just bombed and destroyed a lot of there country and killed there people. So sad.
A great country and the people are hard workers and are very kind and warm welcoming. I am glad I had the opportunity to visit,
