Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

From 78 stories above Ho Chi Minh City, the metropolis still known as Saigon, dazzles with color and light, even in darkness. After past visits here, we have stopped feeling like tourists. We know how we like our Vietnamese coffee and we venture out without a care, stopping into local bars for a drink and a snack before continuing on. 

After the war ended, nearly fifty years ago, Vietnam is a nation transformed; a people confident in a better future; building with hope. It is never too late to change, to transform, to become new again. 

Vietnam teaches us by example that we are not defined by our past, but by our ability to embrace change.
