Eye opening vacation

I just came back from my recent vacation to HCMC aka Saigon.  I would love to still call her Saigon as that is how the people there wish it always had been. It was truly an eye opening experience for me.  I had heard about the Vietnam war but had not taken much notice like many of us. The war is too distance and had not in any way affected our daily life. A visit to their Cuchi Tunnel and War Museum had open the history right in front of me and I had taken my share of walk down the history lane.  

 

Returning to Singapore had made me felt safe, loved and contented. In comparison, there is nothing I can complain about. I love my country and how safe and secured it is to live here. Although there are some tough time we need to go through, stressed and high living standard. But most importantly, we have a comfortable home.
