As N suggested that the area is not so 'clean'???
I bought a book from the Ex .Vietnam camp museum about 3 years ago which I haven't shared in this forum before, so I thought maybe its a good time to share it here with you (and the rest).


* i actually bought 3 of those books (not cheap for a book with just a few pages), 2 of which i gave it to bros who joined me to the camp as souvenirs. One of them married an Indo girl from Batam many months later, hehehe...really brings back some good memories.

More than half a million Vietnamese has died at sea trying to get to the camp which could only accommodate 80k people. The place end up having 250k people passing (and living) by there. Many died a terrible death, unable to shut eye, some even w/o a grave. To date, there are still nameless tombstone at the camp tho.

The Nanking massacre in China was 30k of people who died in a one shot one killed situation. This one is a prolong suffering for a long period of time till death and many suicidal event was due to hopelessness. There was so much twisted-mind "negativity" during those period.

There was like hundreds of Tombstone all over the camp too (some of which were moved back to their hometown).
