HCM Mausoleum, Hanoi

Ho Chi Minh's embalmed body is kept in the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Hanoi... but while we were there, his body was in Russia for its annual two-month maintenance and touch-ups. D'Oh!

I read that while you are in the mausoleum your hands cannot be in your pockets, nor can your arms be crossed.

Not sure what this building is/was... but it's pretty...

and is just down the street from the mausoleum.
