This photo was taken in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2009. The mural is propaganda for the Communist Party of Vietnam, hence the sickle and hammer logo in the top right. Under the mural, the words translate to, "Determination to successfully implement the resolution of the Party." In Vietnam, it is not uncommon to see Communist propaganda on walls near schools, police stations, and public meeting places. Sometimes, the murals feature various workers or students crowded around a teaching Ho Chi Minh.

Khai Dinh Tomb
This photo was taken in 2009 at Khai Dinh Tomb in Hue, Vietnam. Emperor Khai Dinh was the 12th Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. Khai Dinh only reigned over Vietnam for 9 years (1916-1925) and was an unpopular ruler. He collaborated closely with French occupiers which was the main reason for his unpopularity. He was accused of living in luxury while the average people of Vietnam suffered horribly at the hands of the French. Only 15 years after Khai Dinh's rule was over would Ho Chi Minh become leader of the Vietnamese Independence Movement.
