Sentiments of Peace
August 10th, 2008During my trip to Vietnam, I visited the War Remnants Museum. As the name implies, it details the passage of the Vietnam War. Near the exit, there is a photo gallery dedicated to soldiers and victims of the war. Near the exit of the gallery is a guestbook where visitors can leave their comments and a signature.
Naturally, many of the visitors, after viewing the horrifying exhibits of weapons, bombs, mutilated corpses of war, have a lot to say about war-mongers and all their anti-war sentiments. Lengthy passages from foreign visitors are abundant in that thick guestbook. Malaysians, however, found a better way of saying things.
Guess that pretty much sums it all up, eh?
Vix ulla tam iniqua pax, quin bello vel aequissimo sit potior

LOL…how thoughtful of us Malaysians….
i haven’t been visiting in awhile cos u stopped updating awhile back, and when suddenly this white page flooded my screen i thought ‘wtf?’ then i realized you changed your theme haha
imo i think you’re using one too many blues.. seems kinda weird to me. maybe i’m just not used to it yet :p
and “peace!” is somewhat better than writing “XX loves YY forever!” haha
