Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh led the country to independence on september 2, 1945 and died on the same day 25 years later. Since then his body has been preserved in a glass case for people to visit. I had the luck to visit this museum before it closed for the winter months because of humidity. At the door they make you give up your cell phone and any cameras. Once we got inside the room my family excitedly pointed to his body saying "Like George Washington!" and encouraged me to pray to him. All I could think was, uhhh...not exactly. I don't really pray to the dead body of a former president.
