I Went to PRISON in VIETNAM.

I had to get away from the Old Quarter madness of Hanoi for a while, so I went to prison instead. Not just any old prison, but the most notorious and violent in Vietnam's history and made more infamous during the Vietnam/American war during the 60's and 70's, where the American senator John McCain was captured and tortured daily for 4 years.

Excellent video Andrew - really interesting, but also immensely sad - a dark chapter in human history that we should never forget.

Thanks Rob. Yes some really dark days, even before the war.

Interesting video Andrew, despite many visits to Hanoi I never knew about this place!
Keep the vlogs coming mate.

Thanks Dave. It's right behind the Heon Kown lake just outside the Old Quarter. It's called "Maisin Centrale"

Inappropriate title.

[@andrewsrealworld5494]

How is it inappropriate? I went to prison, so that is the title.
I suppose I'm always gonna get some delicate snowflake complain about something.

Americans were tortured there. It's offensive, but your obviously autistic.
