Well I’ll not miss it quite yet as I have stayed a day longer to prep the bike and see more museums.
I’m not sure the war remnants exhibition was what I needed today but once again it brings home the horror of what mankind will do to mankind. I’m not sure we learned anything from any war.
Having purchased a book from a patron of the museum, who had lost both arms, a leg and one eye to a landmine, I left and went in search of the Reunification Building or former Royal Palace which, when tanks crashed through its gates in 1975 signalled the end of the Vietnam war.
I’ve learnt a lot about what went on and how the Vietnamese are still dealing with the effects of the chemicals used on them by the Americans and how some Americans have gone on to be senators despite admitting war atrocities. The war lasted 20 years and for 18 of them there was worldwide condemnation from the average person on the street. It was 35°C outside, so I made my way back to pack, ready to depart tomorrow.
Packing done it was down to Station Bar for one last meal and a drink.
