🇻🇳Vietnam takes pride on its very first president - Ho Chi-Minh (aka Uncle Ho). Being the voice for Vietnamese Independence from French colonial rule, he's probably the most important person in contemporary Vietnam history, and is still utterly popular amongst Vietnamese civilians nowadays.

Since there was a long queue out of his Mausoleum, I went to the Ho Chi Minh Museum instead. Honestly... given he's such a national hero, the museum was pretty disappointing - exhibits were put together without a concrete logical flow to introduce their great leader in a more systematic manner; infused with artistic expressions to make it more contemporary, but the skill set was a bit low; English translation available for only maybe 10% of the exhibits, so a lot of times I don't know what I was looking at. I am lucky that I can read Chinese characters, thus I could still understand some old items like anti-colonial newspapers and old books from the pre and during revolution era.
.
It was more interesting to see people there - seeing how fanatic people still are to the late leader. It was a Sunday morning, and the whole museum was packed with people, obviously over 90% were Vietnamese from around the nation.
