Downtown Saigon

Some things are very different here, but some things stay the same - "same same but different" as they say!

The same:
- Traffic noise, the ubiquitous 'beep beep, BEEP'
- Dong Khoi St.
- Cheap shoes in 'Shoe St' near Ben Thanh Market and still nothing in my size that I'd wear :-)

Different:
Trung Nguyen Coffee shops are much more up-market than when I first saw them. My order of 'ca phe sua da' was made at my table like a Japanese tea ceremony!
