The office building in Ho Chi Minh City in which the Canadian Consulate has its offices. We met with the Consul General and one of the Trade Commissioners to get some more information on the developments in Vietnam and to update them on our activities.
Across the street is the central post office. When I traveled with my little backpack in 1982 and 1983 I would find these post offices happy places because in the "poste restante" section there might be some letters waiting for me from Holland. Nowadays with the internet and smart phones that romantic concept is certainly history. This post office is still a bust place though....
And the long distance phone booths are also still there, but obviously not much used anymore.
From Ho Chi Minh City we flew two hours further south to Singapore today for meetings on Monday. A bustling city and for me hard to recognize since I was here in 1982...... Just a few photos from my hotel room for now.
