Saigon-Zoo – My Primary Class. The teacher on my right asked if I would talk to her class. I started by outlining my thoughts on the direction of the development of the intenet today. (No not really). We chatted about Australia, the Opera House, kangaroos. Quite a few had some good Enlish skills. I asked them to guess my age. The answers were between 60 and 82. I warmed to the young lady who guessed I was 60. OK so her glassed were fogged up. We chatted for 20mins and then went on our respective ways.

Hoa Lo Prison was nicknamed a “hell on earth’ in downtown Hanoi. This was because the French used the most ruthless and inhumane torture against patriotic and revolutionary prisoners. They include fierce slaps after entering through the heavy iron-wooden gate (weighing 1.6 tones), cangue, and barbarous beatings in solitary confinement and cells holding death sentenced prisoners.
