I was born in Saigon, and I love to call "Saigon" even though I born after 1975. <br />Your information has many mean to me. tinyhuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056653636123994479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462165174700771131.post-67301646843010697592014-08-05T09:48:19.093+02:002014-08-05T09:48:19.093+02:00Hi Dan, thanks for your comment.

I agree that most southerners still call the city "Saigon", as I wrote in this blog post here: "Welcome to Vietnam" - http://wherethewarswere-vietnamlaoscambodia.blogspot.com/2012/10/welcome-to-vietnam.html D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02704151630139449202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462165174700771131.post-36977179860374670202013-11-06T02:52:44.247+01:002013-11-06T02:52:44.247+01:00Your observation of the museum and it's conten...Your observation of the museum and it's contents will hold true in most other museums and monuments you'll see in Vietnam.<br />As the old saying goes,"....the victors get to write the history." The "War Remnants" museum in Saigon, once named the museum of American War atrocities, is a dusty, gloomy building that celebrates not much of what is really good about the country and it's people, but a very biased, one sided view of the "American War."<br />BTW, after many visits and considerable time in Vietnam, I refuse to call Saigon "HCMC." That is the official government imposed name supplied in 1975. Most locals and residents of the former "South" still use the old name.<br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
