You're right, he isn't as normal practioner. Look at those eyes of other people around, we can see how they admire him.
His short is a customized one I think. BTW.

I love that Inside the JW image. Fantastic thread.

Seeing those big buildings is fascinating. Even in the south they weren't making anything like that when I was there. An your street shots are interesting as well. There seems to be a peace I didn't see in the south when I was there. War is never a fun thing to go through.

Thank you.
The JW Hanoi is among the top class hotels, newly built with fantastic location and design.

Oh, When was your last visit to Saigon?
You would be amazed if you come to see it now.
The city is changing and developing every 6 months, I guess.
Off the topic: Our Prime Minister just met US President Trump yesterday, I think billion US$ contracts would be signed between enterprises of 2 countries.
Long story short, come to to visit Vietnam to see how it has been changing. The war is over over 40 years ago already.

Always a great thread, thanks to Trung. I was in Hanoi 10 years ago (how time flies). The only two 5-star hotels were the Metropole and the Hilton. I had breakfast in both, and never enjoyed air-conditioning more. 🙂 Don't visit in August!

A pic from Saigon... Keeping in mind that Vietnam is roughly spending 10% of its GDP on infrastructure:

Interesting BW page! Reminds me Toronto, where old buildings and districts are getting demolished to put high-rises. Most be comfy, but community, street life is going away.

Apart from the many mega projects it's good to see that there are also local city renewal initiatives...

Only thing worse than Hanoi in August is Saigon in August! I was there in 1998, must be very different there now.
Made the mistake of visiting Hanoi in January 2002 -- very cold and damp, though staying at the Metropole helped. 😉

Thank you Rico and Kermaier,
The city is much different now (good and bad of course). There are bunch of new facilities now and all Int'l brands are there for instance Intercontinental, Sofitel, Marriott, Sheraton.... I would recommend to visit on November / December, cool weather.

Interesting photos, I just visit Saigon last week and will post photos once I develop the film.
Keep the photos posted!
No worry, old community is going away but new community is coming up.
That's how the change is, isn't it?
