Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum from the rear

Hanoi, Vietnam view map

You wait in a long queue, file silently up stairs past grim-faced guards, glimpse the
embalmed body of Uncle Ho, who could almost be a plastic replica, you don't take photographs
or say anything disrespectful, and you come out again wondering if that's what an atheist
system has instead of a state religion. Did they genuflect in there, or did I make that up?
