I have this obsession with eventually seeing the big three dead socialist leaders: Lenin, Mao, and Ho Chi Minh. It fascinates me that these people are considered to have been so instrumental to their countries that they will actually PUBLICLY DISPLAY THEIR DEAD BODIES.

Uncle Ho is done. I’ve been to Beijing three times, but never quite managed to see the Chairman, but I plan on that happening next time I go to China (hopefully, next summer).

So, the only one left for an unknown time in the future is Lenin.
