Reunification Palace

The Reunification Palace used to be the headquarters and living space for the South Vietnamese president before the north communist forces invaded after America's departure, hence the present name . It's a very swanky place, with all the Sixty's latest trends and amenities. It was pretty weird and a little crappier than these pictures show. Good fun though :)



Below are pictures from the underground bunker. The bunker, right below the presidential mansion, consists of maybe 20 also very dated wood panel rooms with only desks and phones. some had giant communications radios, but they were otherwise completely bare and isolated feeling. The sexy red ribbon is not part of the original decor, it's there to keep out all the tourists.
