Personal highlights

  1. Ho Chi Minh City: most modern and largest city of Vietnaminfo-icon, yet not the capital
  2. Saigon City: renamed in 1976 after the notorious leader, but the old name survived
  3. Bitexco Financial Tower : overlooking city and Saigon River from the tallest building
  4. Notre-Dame: seeking shelter on heavy rainfall in the Vietnamese version, not in Paris
  5. Journey: reaching my final destination in Vietnam after 3 overnight trains
