Politics, Ho Chi Minh City: 4 reviews and 4 photos

  Ho Chi Minh, in front of City Hall
by bpacker
 
 

Though Vietnam seems like any thriving capitalist city in asia, it is still a communist country by heart. You'll see propaganda pictures and policemen everywhere, even in places like Apocalypse Now ( A Happening Night Spot Frequented by Tourists and Yuppies)
Needless to say , talking about politics is a no-no but asking about Uncle Ho is fine. The old chappie is seen everywhere on posters and sculptures and he's usually posing with kids.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
