Host: He is—Mr. Hay is our wonderful, wonderful driver. I’ll try to do some video of the roads that we’ve been going over with land slides. This is our hotel and it was really nice except for the air conditioning unit. I’m not complaining about the air conditioning unit but as it cycled on and off throughout the night, it sounded like there was a jet plane in our room.
We’re in D&D&Fu at the museum, 1954 this video is going to be telling us about the time when the French surrendered to the Vietnamese. These are all the strong points. It’s a pretty nice translation of French with the lights in the theatre. Where he was captured down here on the bunker, already this bunker is—thank you very much though. As long as there is the wall or something, you got small feet. The bunker which one?
Male: On this is for the general.
Host: It was for the general but—
Male: This one is for Lau Toto, up and down about 150 people.
Host: 150 people, that is strange as Vietnamese, people just sitting in top of the bunker, doing your thing, staring out into space. There’s another dead snake and he said this one is poisonous too, they come out after the rain, they’re all over. Now I’m absolutely paranoid, I’m looking from side to side for more snakes that have come out in the wet. There is another one, we got more snakes on this trip than I have ever seen in years and years and years. Well that is the end of Dien Bien Ph, the bunker and we saw the propaganda film or the actual reel and where the French finally surrendered to the Vietnamese and ended their reign in Indochina and I’m moving into Lai Chou up further north.
