quang ngai - day 3

i truly feel and reinforced on my stand on the importance of world peace and respect amongst all human beings today ( what aiesec envisions - peace and fulfillment of humankind's potential, what soka gakkai envisions - world peace through culture and education ) . Y so random you ask? I visited the Son My massacre site.. It is really a sad place to be .. The american soldiers(infantry) landed in son my and just like that decided to 'kill off' the village.. Very cruelly and brutally i might add. argh.. the things that i read and the pictures i tried to avoid seeing is still etched in my head.. its also nice to read that there were still humane beings out there when the American air troops were against the killings and tried to save the villagers and even considered firing at their own man to stop the inhumane and crazy killings..
Son my should be proud that they have survived the massacre and is now a peaceful, serene and economically independent community.. to those inhumane beings, shame on you..

we also visited a temple today. or as they call it the pagoda.. its really interesting to see the similarities with the ones in Malaysia as well as the differences.. I shall say the most interesting difference is the way the Vietnam ppl honour their dead. There was a grave in the temple of the man that build the 'pagoda' and he originated from China. A real pagoda with beautiful art was built on top of the grave.. outside the temple there was a beautifully landscaped grave of a national hero . and the locals pay their respect constantly .. oo and did you know that ho chi minh's body is frozen and kept in the mausoleum?? as in his real body? i always thought that it was just a monument to remember what he has done for the country.. apparently i was wrong.. its really interesting to see this.. ( random : the 'pagoda' was on top of a hill.. so you could actually see the paddy fields, and corn fields, and the river and the whole awesome view of quang ngai from up there => very nice)

We then drove 2 and a half hours back to Danang.. we stopped on the way for traditional Vietnamese coffee.. super kau!! but surprisingly i din feel jittery after that.. kepelikan.. ( mahmoud if you are reading this, they drink traditional vietnamese coffee with ICE LA!!)

anyhoo.. i am now back in hanoi! work is piling up and reality is starting to strike with the fact that i have to register my subjects d.. shit i found out accounting clashes with my core.. aihz wat elective to take next sem?? headache..

random : frozen yogurt tomorrow la!!
