     Hello Vy! I will never forget Saigon! Its busy streets, friendly people, new culture - my first touch of Asia! I loved it and want to go back, more now that I've read your page. Happy birthday from Finland!
    hassan_abu Thu Apr 6, 2006 08:38 UTC
     Great restaurant tips.
    Nemorino Sat Mar 18, 2006 14:47 UTC
     Interesting introduction to your home city. I haven't been to HCMC for over ten years now (1995 was the last time), but I always found it exciting and even very pleasant, despite all the hustle and bustle.

     Beautiful photos, entertaining and good information. I'll return often for more. Ciao, Carol
