Unless you like the 1970s retro look, there is not much point going to see the Reunification Palace (top pic) , one of the major sights to see in Ho Chi Minh city. This is where the South Vietnamese president (backed by the US) held sway until the end of the war in 1975 (which he lost!). Most of the place is roped off and seemingly hasn't been touched since. All there is really is one meeting room after another. At least the rooms were big so herself and myself could stay well away from each other! The second pic doesn't do justice to the datedness of the place, but it has a cool enough looking helicopter (and tanks) in the grounds.
