Vietnamese Architecture 2


An uninformed person might think that Vietnam sheltered more Nazis after World War 2 than Argentina and Brazil combined, judging by all the swastikas on buildings and tombs (see above). However, it has been a symbol of things like life, power, strength and good luck for thousands of years, long before those deluded psychopaths got their mitts on it.

Speaking of tombs, people are buried in Vietnam on their land, so you see all these fairly elaborate tombs in the middle of neighbouring fields. At first I thought it was an extremely large graveyard with plenty of room for future business!
