Quote: Of every experience I had in Vietnam, Uncle Ho gets the creepiest experience award. Yes, Ho Chi Minh himself. Or should I say, his well preserved yet utterly creepy body.

Quote: Despite my initial skepticism, taking a ride over to the Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum turned out to be worth the hour it took.
