Today
the plan was to start visting Saigon of Ho Chi Min City as it was
called after the Americans have left the country. I started in the
morning strolling around the park watching dancing lessons before
visiting the local market. You can still see the French influence in the
architecture. Like on the Museum for arts but the skyscrapers remind
you of the modern world. Everywhere Christmas and New Year is a topic
already – pretty bizarre at 30 deg C
. 
Still propaganda on the street
Dancing in the morning in the park
Ben Thanh Market
The Art Museum
Bitexco Financial Tower
Merry Christmas
The National Theater
The former townhall - now Peoples Committee Building
Ho Chi Min in front of the former townhall
The Notre Dame Cathedral
The post office from out and inside
The Jade Emperor Pagoda - one of the most calm places I have seen today
too many turtles in a pond - just too many
The Reunifcation Palace - now independance palace - former place of the prime minister of Southern Vietnam - now a really great place for the architecture of the 60ties
I like the phones especcialy the pink ones - probably used to call .... - think pink
even a movie theater was built in thei buiding
a helipad
and a two story deep bunker and bomb shelter
And to finish of the day the view from my hotel room
