Hoa Lo Prison

Yesterday, me and my friend went out and visited Hao Lo Prison (Hanoi Hilton), which had held Vietnamese political prisoners under the French occupation and more recently American POW's, whose planes had been shot down during the Vietnam War. It was pretty somber and an interesting place to reflect on Vietnam's tumultuos history.

John Mc cain was there too as a prisoner. His Uniform and parachute were on display until now.
