Post colonial


French architectural influences can still be found in today's Saigon. This is the facade of the former post office. 


It's now a shopping hall. You'll see our old friend, Mr. Ho Chi Minh, thoughtfully watching over visitors.

  2. I can definitely see the French colonial influences here.
    That golf course you asked about is the Westin Kierland Golf Club.

    1. Not sure that's the one we played. But the interior of the clubhouse/resto looked very familiar.

  7. It's a most interesting structure, but it would seem to be more dignified than a shopping mall! :) Ho Chi Minh was a hard man to beat ...
