Saigon, the name itself conjures up enough memories of a long bygone time; be it the horrendous war that once shook the World, be it the nostalgia that kept lingering on, be it the bars filled with people and smoke, be it the sidewalk cafes with thumping music, be it the horrible facts kept in secrets forever...Things are definitely long gone, and hopefully forever...
