Despite my initial skepticism, taking a ride over to the Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum turned out to be worth the hour it took. The long, winding, line moved very quickly and it is one of the few "attractions" where you will find the Vietnamese tourists outnumber the Westerners. The guards will hustle you through the room in which Uncle Ho's body has been preserved, but the reverence for the man is very clear and contributes to a more well-rounded understanding of recent Vietnamese history.
