WAR REMNANTS MUSEUM

Dave took off on his own this morning, on foot, in search of the War Remnants Museum. Armed with the city map, weaving in and out of traffic, he found it and stepped back in time.




















He said some of it was pretty gruesome so it may have been a good thing me and the kids stayed home.















Based on the Lunar Cycle Vietnam has a different calendar from us which means their New Years Eve begins on 3 February which is called Tet. In preparation for this the city is being decorated like we would for Christmas, only a lot more extravagent. Unfortunately, we'll just miss out as we'll be goneski from Vietnam by then.




















Reason we stayed home this morning? Jason had to pack as late this afternoon I took him to the airport and said good-bye. He's now on a flight to Kuala Lumpur and will arrive in Sydney tomorrow morning. He had a great time but was ready to go home.

  1. I hope you love Cambodia! I found it more interesting than Vietnam. I found Cambodia's history to be upsetting, amazing and unbelievable. I'm sure the kids will love Ankor Wat but make sure you go to the killing fields as well :) Enjoy!!! Me xx
