The Hanoi Hilton in a 1970 aerial surveillance photo, during the American/Vietnam war. Click here for more details of the prison's history, none of it nice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanoi_Hilton
Built by the French, used by the Japanese during thier occupations of the country, some horrible things went on here. Not nice. So, I didn't feel comfortable taking pictures here, so I didn't. Then I went outside and realised that the place where we were staying was built on the grounds shown in the first picture above, - the Somerest Grand Serviced Appartments.
This is the accomodation today. What to think, what to say?
