It had been 5 years since we had been to Saigon and the change is remarkable. The look of the port is very busy, well painted, and ship shape – unlike Hue. There is considerable trash in the waterway like one sees most places in Vietnam, but Saigon is fairly pristine. The are sanitation workers cleaning up the streets and the city hoses down the streets 3 times a week. There is new shipbuilding going on and a continuous string of ship leaded concrete and gravel – seemingly every 5 minutes. Looking at the skyline shows lots of high rises.
