Humans are like remote-controlled car. They can't move without their battery. As soon as we finished our lunch, it's time to move on. And this time, It's one of the times where I hated the most -.-... Temple visiting. In every trip, there will always be at least one temple to visit(Which I there's practically nothing to watch). This time we will set foot in the Mazu's temple (Never know that they also believe in Mazu from Taiwan). But before that, our tour guide let us take some shot on some random god statue around somewhere random.
The god statue is under-maintenance o.0..
In about 30 minutes, we reached the Mazu (aka. Queen of Heaven) temple. Not too flashy though, cause we need to walk across some unaware alley in order to reach the temple.
So many things hanged on the rack...
It's Mazu :D
Alright, let's skip this part cause there's nothing I can do except standing there looking everywhere like an idiot. Oh, by the way, the statue of Guan Gong and Chai Shen also near the temple.
Ok, next destination is gonna be interesting. We gonna visit the War Museum in Ho Chi Minh city. Upon reaching the entrance, I was stunned immediately.
Cause this is a real life tank man!
And there were many more War Machines inside the museum remaining from the Vietnam war . From Anti-Aircraft Vehicle to War-plane, what an epic place!
But no matter how epic this place was, there was something really awkward that caught my attention. There were some victims of Agent Orange working there. For your information, Agent Orange is the code name for one of the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of its herbicidal's warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971. Vietnam estimate 400,000 people being killed or maimed, and 500,000 children born with birth defects .
As I heard from our tour guide, when a person got attack by these weapon; even though he survived; his next generation will be born defected. And this effect remain for 3 generation.
Just look how war practically destroyed their life.
The exhibition can be divided into 3 floor. The ground floor is the history of the war. The second floor is about war-crime and aftermath. While the third floor is about rebuilding the country. Since I took too much picture about it it's better if you look into the album yourself. Click here → Facebook Album.
For the rest of the day, Water Puppet show, Notre Dame Cathedral, Statue of Mr. Ho Chi Minh, and Dinner in the cruise.
Well, that's about it for 1st day. Stay tuned for day 2 *Troll detected//
