Hanoi (link, enlace, lien)
Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnam independence hero is celebrated in Hanoi. The large mausoleum, in a classic soviet style, and his premises in the Presidential gardens are worth the visit. The old French colonial prison, Hoa Lo, plays a propaganda role, showcasing the harsh conditions the prisoners suffered during colonial time. There is a small area dedicated to the American prisoners of war kept there during the Vietnam war. Clearly, the edulcorated official version of kind treatment does not match the testimonials of the prisoners themselves!
