Since we were in Hanoi we could not pass up the chance to take advantage of what being in a communist country is all about, looking at the embalmed dead body of a revolutionary! So we started the day early because we heard that the line gets long really fast to see Uncle Ho (Ho Chi Minh, the people actually call him Uncle Ho.) The whole affair was quite a somber, there were guards dressed in white guarding Vietnam's most revered leader, no pictures, no water bottles, no smiling, no laughing, and no speaking.
Uncle Ho's mausoleum!
Our best communist faces for the affair
Hundreds of people constantly stream in
