Hands* - Jewel

The second trip to Ho Chi Minh City gave me an opportunity to check out the many museums there. One must-go museum surely has to be the War Remnants Museum. The strange thing - for moi - was that they closed during lunch time. But that only gave me more opportunity to try out street food!

The other thing that amused me was the sight of this which greeted me when i was about to enter the museum:-

But it really shouldn't be a big surprise. Prevention is better than cure. Better safe than sorry - and a whole lot of other cliches can be said. With the H1N1 flu going around and with so many tourists from high-risk areas, this is a good thing to have.

Especially when there was this french girl who suddenly broke out into a sneezing fit near me. I avoided her after that like a plague pandemic!!! But somehow, she was always nearby! *shudder*

The more i think about, the more i feel sad about it. Washing our hands are such a basic thing. Weren't we taught this even from a young tender age? Yet, such a simple act could have prevented the spread of this virus - and others.

Our hands are very important - but it is a good reminder that we should also keep our hands clean at all times.
