Saigon is my beloved city in Vietnam. It is hard for someone born and grew up in Saigon to forget this city.

Great visuals, great commentary....as usual. My wife and I just bought our tickets to SGN for November [as we did last year] but hoping this year does not need to be postponed. Doing a real estate tour of Vung Tau, TPHCM and a few other places for a possible 'gap year' retirement in SE Asia before our US based one. Looking forward to sharing this with my wife when she gets home from work this afternoon. Coincidentally, I am making pho ga for dinner tonight so this will provide a lovely setting for our noodles. Thanks for the tour and the inspiration...Cheers & Chuc Suc Khoe!

Always interesting. I particularly like your commentary in all your videos. Watching this video, I was reminded of how so close to sea level HCM is. I would love to see a video where you would talk about what, if anything, the authorities are doing or planning to face that enormous challenge. Or are they just ignoring the problem ? Hope not. Cheers.

Thanks very much! No they are not ignoring the problem. They are building a flood gate near Vung Tau to hold back the tidal flow. They are also building flood gates in the canals.

Goodday John, So good to hear from you again, always look forward to your video's. You are reliable, truthful & compassionate. There are plenty of video's on Vietnam but yours is the only one I trust. As of today Vietnam is the 3rd worst country in the world for daily infection of Covid over 140,000 per day. Planning to visit but need the numbers to come down drastically. There are 3 Vietnamese couple close friends of mine that want to wed in Vietnam. We are planning to go but it is wait & see. Love your video's if you need to visit Australia my house is yours no need to worry about accommodation. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

Louis thanks as always for your kind words and support!!Yes daily cases are at an all time high. A friend of mine just tested positive but is only having mild cold like symptoms. Nevertheless it is risky especially for people who are older or have underlying medical conditions. Relying on vaccines alone is not enough. Wearing a N95 type mask or two masks, keeping hands sanitized and social distancing all decreases your chance of getting Covid. Hope you can make it this year! I will definitely take you up on your offer for a place to stay in Melbourne! Take care!!!
