I'm pleased to report Uncle Ho looks fabulous - especially for someone who's been dead nearly 40 years. Is credit due the Russian embalmers or Madame Tussaud's?

I would have loved to snap a pix of him but this is about as close as you can get with a camera. We passed through in silence, squeezed between excited school kids and lachrymose dowagers.

I can also report that Ho is not 'turning in his grave', despite the fact that his country has now embraced capitalism.
