Soldier

Friendly people in Ho Chi Minh City

This was a man who is showing a photo of when he helped the Americans during the war. You can't see in the photo but his pinky finger had been cut off once the North Vietnamese found out he was for the Americans. We also learned that in Vietnam the war was called The American War.

Some electrical issues?

We were amazed that the city was wired so hap-hazzardly, in our opinion. We were never electrocuted.
