Day 5: Ho Chi Minh - Museum of Vietnamese History and Water Puppetry Shows

    There are many museums in the city of Ho Chi Minh but the Museum of Vietnamese History was the most memorable one for me.  
     Their collection is large and exhibits includes a wide range of objects from the prehistoric and the Dong Son periods, Cham sculpture as well as other national historic relics from various Vietnamese dynasties.
I also got see some water puppetry.  Hoorays!

     It is pretty cool how puppeteers manipulate the puppets. They move puppets by using strings passed through underwater bamboo poles :O
