A Little Bit of Demonic Kitsch ...
... Vietnam's attractions are often surrounded by tacky tourist shops, and the pagoda was no different. First, there was a store selling incredibly-expensive artisan wood furniture, and in the basement was this odd house of horrors. There were signs forbidding entrance for non-Vietnamese, but nobody questioned us entering - it was some kind of weird take on Hell, as far as we could tell, with displays like this torturer removing the innards of the poor victim, presumably for use in making a delicious Vietnamese broth.
