Ho Chi Minh / Saigon

I read about this place..masih terpampang di ruangan memori gambar kanak2 melarikan diri dari kampung yang dibom..imej seorang anak perempuan tanpa pakaian berlari dijalan
 raya..





The children from left to right are: Phan Thanh Tam, younger brother of Kim Phuc, who lost an eye, Phan Thanh Phouc, youngest brother of Kim Phuc, Kim Phuc, and Kim's cousins Ho Van Bon, and Ho Thi Ting. Behind them are soldiers of the Vietnam Army 25th Division, June 8, 1972. (Nick Ut/AP Photo)

Nine-year-old Kim Phuc was with a group of civilians trying to flee the village when the planes mistook them for soldiers and bombed them with naplam. Ut captured Kim Phuc and others running out of the bombed village. She was naked from having her clothes burned off. Ut and some other journalists quickly ran to help the burned villagers, saving Kim's life.

4o years later, Ut and Kim still stay in touch, and because of this tragic yet infamous picture their lives have become intertwined forever. Ut won a Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography in 1973 for his 1972 Associated Press photograph of Phan Thi Kim Phuc.

As a nine-year-old, Kim Phuc was the subject of a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo by Ut as she fled in pain from a misdirected napalm attack against her village by South Vietnamese planes in 1972. After taking the photograph, Ut came to the girl’s aid and transported her to a hospital. (AP Photo)



Picture for today







Melalui MAS golden holiday..i dan husband sampai di sini...airport yang besar dan moden..bandar yang sedang pesat membangun dan menurut tour guide yang menjempug kami di airport..mempunyai 5 juta motosikal di jalan raya..jadi semestinya jumlah  motor di jalan raya amat banyak.

Setiba di Equtariol Hotel di district 5..i dan suami keluar mencari poa dan coffee veitnam. Poa bukan makanan yang menambat hati i...tapi kopi yang di nikmati di cafe kecil dengan kerusi dan meja bersaiz tadika amat sedap.USD1 untuk secawan kopi..

Jam 4.30 saya dan suami ke bandar berjalan berbatu..

Malamnya i ke gym dan berjakuzi. I cant sleep..i watch 2 movies..
