We visited President Ho's Museum but were unable to go inside his Mausoleum as it was closed. No matter what your politics, it is impossible not to respect him for what he did and his personal adherence to his doctrines. Our guide was quite critical about today's corruption and the fact that the people are not allowed to speak out, looking over his shoulder from time to time. His body is removed from the Mausoleum for a week very 4 months and sent to Russia for refurbishment. I remember seeing it in the mid '90s and thinking that it looked more like a wax works.
