Bird's Eye In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

A country of unexpected surprises. Aerial shot taken from the rooftop infinity pool at our Air BnB.

**Backgrounder: Formerly known as 'Saigon', this previously held capitol city of Vietnam was later renamed 'Ho Chi Minh City' after the great military leader, Ho Chi Minh, who helped corral the Vietnamese people into standing up and fighting against Vietnamese oppression, during his attempts to reunify both the North and South of Vietnam. Though the city's name was later changed from 'Saigon' to 'Ho Chi Minh City', most Vietnamese locals still refer to the city as Saigon, refusing to give up its original title.**
