Sorry mate! lol. I took it from the wall and put it here. That was really light traffic. In the morning it's literally thousands of scooters and a major traffic jam.

Tony- I think a lot of Americans would be surprised at how clean and neat Saigon looks. A stark contrast from the way we left it! Saigon used to be the Pearl of the Orient. It looks like it has regained some of its luster! That's good thing.
Thanks for posting that, it was really interesting! :cheer:
p.s. Did you tell us why you were there? I know it was work related but ???

Hi Bear. My company is about delivering programs in Developing countries. So I was there for work visiting the Australian Ambassador and the Australian Aid Organisation. Vietnam is fast approaching industrialised nation status so Vietnam could be off my list soon which is great in terms of fewer people in poverty, but from a purely selfish perspective I would miss my visits.

Tony tell us you brought back something simple like a T-Shirt with 'I've been to Saigon and all I got was this T-Shirt' :laugh:

Hey Chas. I bought this on the last trip. I like to pick up something that simply reminds me of where I have been. It's on my wall.
