The landmine museum was one of the most amazing places i have ever been to. Landmines were evrywhere. The walls were lined with defused bombs and landmines spelling out various words. Shelves were lined with different types of landmines and uxo and wired sections were brimming with anti-personnel and anti-tank mines.

I was happy to examine various mines and explain their anatomy and use. Talking about landmines is when I am at my best. The man who ran the museum had cleared all of the mines there and continued to clear and defuse mines every weekend. There were M-14s, Claymores, Box mines, Toepoppers and other mines scattered across the museum. I even spotted some remnants of bounding fragmentation mines.
The decor was questionable. A woodden table was surrounded by stools made of anti-tank mines for seats and UXO (Unexploded Ordinance). A flower vase in the center of the table was a hollowed out rocket and paperwieghts holding down various different papers concerning mine activities were nothing more than broken pieces of landmines.
There was a small souvenier shop selling T-shirts with the danger landmines sign on the back for only $3, another example of the poverty in tis country. The money supposedly goes to landmine victims but you never really know. Anyway so long for now I shall be home soon.
