Musings of a displaced Australian Photographer in Seattle, USA
Continuing from yesterday’s post visiting the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, today we visit another section of the museum. Before you enter the building itself, as I mentioned yesterday outside stands several military vehicles including tanks, helicopters, and fighter planes.
