Today we were lucky enough to learn so much about religion and history here in Vietnam, we were able to travel around Ho Chi Minh City today despite the 110-degree weather. We started at the NgocHoang Pagoda which is a place of worship and education in Buddhist philosophy. The NgocHoand Pagoda provided such a quaint and beautiful sanctuary, allowing us to be fully immersed in the architectural elegance located inside. It was peaceful and quiet which allowed everyone to have a safe and spiritual experience. After lunch, we visited the Reunification Palace in Ho Chi Minh City. This building stands as an iconic symbol of Vietnam’s history and journey towards independence. It served as a seat of power for the South Vietnamese Government during the Vietnam War. On April 30th, 1975, the palace witnessed a pivotal moment in history when North Vietnamese forces breached its gates, marking the end of the Vietnam War. Lastly, we were lucky enough to spend time and explore the War Remnants Museum. This was an essential stop on our trip because of the legacy and history Vietnam has faced in terms of War. We saw some gory and explicit pictures of some horrible things the United States did amid the war. The museum also showed several pieces of artillery used in battle such as assault rifles, grenades, tanks, planes, and helicopters. The mention of the effects of Agent Orange was prevalent in this Museum as 2,000,000 citizens in Vietnam were killed during the War, and 4,800,000 citizens were affected/exposed to Agent Orange.
