Independent Palace

I went to visit the Independent Palace this morning. It is amazing how talented the young Vnese nowadays, they speak very good Japanese, Korean, Chinese and English, I am very proud of them. The Independent Palace was the place where our former president of South VN resided, and also the place where the North army bombed and ran in with their tanks. It is huge.

It is funny to see all this old radio machines, or other broadcasting tools that were used in war. If you have seen "Downfall", you would have imagined how these machine looks. They are big and have lots of buttons.

I also went to the new private area, where my aunt bought her appartment. Apparently there are only foreigners live in that area, they have Korean, Japanese, French, and American shops. The hospital is a Franco-Vietnamese one, and everything is written in English, private playground for kids, International schools, and many other facilities.

I am leaving tomorrow morning to Mekong Delta, and come back in two days, will visit the place where they make rice papers, floating markets, and eat some really South dishes ;-). Will soon fly back, apparently Brussels is missing me ;P
