The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is something that I really want to see. I haven’t heard much about it before the introduction of this trip. I did a little research and found out that before 1995, the museum was named War on Terror Exhibition. If that doesn’t give away the view the Vietnamese had on the war, than I don’t know what does. It displays films, documents, artifacts, etc, that date back to the beginning of the war when the French colonists attacked in 1858, to the end in 1975. I feel like this place would be a huge eye opener to how the Vietnamese were terrorized for so many years on their own soil.
Your interest in Vietnam civil war draws my attention. I had visited once every year when I was in middle and high school. Then in college, I did charity to help South Vietnam veterans group and gained different perspectives about the war. We, the Vietnamese, do not like war; however, when country needs our services, we would fight really hard. Sadly, several times in modern history we fought each other because of different ideologies.
