Saigon Throwback

Back in 2009 – I make a trip to Saigon to jalan jalan. Saigon is really a nice place as in its quite modern then. I’ve been to this city a few times in the past couple of years and what I noticed is that the development in Saigon or Ho Chin Minh has been very fast. In fact – if you look at the growth of economy, Vietnam has been moving quite fast especially during this era of trade war.

Reading thru various articles, the biggest beneficiary of the trade war between US and China – Vietnam has been singled out as the biggest beneficiary. Making the growth of the economy to be further accelerated.

My last trip to Saigon or Ho Chin Minh was in 2018 – which is about 10 years after my trip in 2009. The trip was for work thus I didn’t have time to go around the city. But what I noticed is the rapid growth.
