Uncle Ho to the Vietnamese, Ho Chi Mihn to you and me. Uncle Ho, last the leader of the communist North Vietnamese, and he successfully managed to beat the French, and USA out of Vietnam. He is somewhat loved by the Vietnamese, and loathed by Americans of a certain age, understandably so.

During the conflict with the USA, Uncle Ho lived in Hanoi, in an an assuming little house in a little park. These days, you can pay his residence a visit (and you will on the North Vietmanese experience.)

Ho, did not live a very extravagant lifestyle as you can see from his room, and collection of French cars in his garage, he lived as any good communist leader should, with the basics. (Take note Kim Jong Ill).

Still it didn´t stop him from taking on and beating the biggest superpower in the world. Amazing what you can achieve in a Peugeot.
