Marjorie With a Tank at the Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam1028 viewsWe read about this museum and were curious. We had to specifically ask our guide to take us. There was nobody else there. The whole museum was dusty and forgotten, something left over (barely) from another time, another place. I'd be surprised if it's still there.Mar 04, 2006

Ho Chi Minh City "Museum of War Remnants" with a Helicopter932 viewsFrom the New York Times of July 1999: "The city's Museum of War Remnants, with its displays of captured weapons and its catalog of horrors, only recently amended its name, with changing times, from the Museum of American War Crimes." We were there before it changed its name. Our guide didn't want to take us, and felt very awkward about it all.Mar 04, 2006

Marjorie at a Roadside Restaurant in Viet Nam1076 viewsWe just stopped by the side of the road, and this "restaurant" was in essentially a tent. We had a delicious meal, and didn't get sick. And then we go to La Mamounia in Morocco, pay a fortune for our room and meals, and get food poisoning. Ironic.Mar 04, 2006
