Singapore, October 2017. Whenever I traveled to Singapore before Covid-19, I'd buy a 3-day Mass Transit pass in the airport and hop on any bus or subway
train to see what would happen. It's a nice way to discover this city. Cheers, OtL
 
Hmm, that odd building at center has to be the Rainier Tower in downtown Seattle, 4th & University, with the sloping Rainier Square right next to it. Distinctive architecture! Japanese restaurant at street level?
 


Downtown Saigon, January 2021. It is eerily quiet due to the absence of international tourists. Vietnam is managing Covid-19 exceptionally well:
superior tracking and containment procedures have resulted in a low rate of community transmissions and very few Covid related deaths.
 


Even though Saigon has developed into a Megapolis with some 10 million inhabitants in the greater urban area, many Saigonese continue to live in neighborhoods that
developed organically over time, more often than not, in a myriad of alleyways in two to three-story privately owned houses. But the times they are a-changing', and the
construction boom now offers 'modern living' in high rise apartments to the next generation. October 2020. Fuji X-H1 - XF 2.8/16-55 @ 16mm.
 


Early construction boom days in Saigon. February 2010. Nikon FM3A - Nikkor 2.8/28 Ais - Efiniti Super Uxi 100 ISO. The skyscraper in the background was completed some
8 months later. Cheers, OtL
