I had never heard about that until I visited the War Remnants Museum last year. You have to believe in something pretty intensely to be able to set yourself on fire. I can't even fathom it.

From taking various tours mostly round Hoi An, I learned that there was a lot of US miliarty machinery left in Vietnam, & it's not going to waste. 1960s US military Jeeps are now used to transport tourists to see the Cham ruins at My Son. Ironic, no?
