Below, a communications device in the “Mobile Radio Section” of Saigon’s Reunification Palace. Judging by the combination of receiving and transmitting equipment, integrated power source and convenient carry handles, it would appear to be an early cell phone.

It took a long time for the communist authorities to recognize the cultural value of this site. As a result, many of these beautiful buildings are in desperate need of some tender love and care.

Flying from Hue to Hanoi, in the enormous volume of airspace over central Vietnam, we had the contrail from another jet just meters off our port wing for virtually the entire duration of the flight.

Verbatim quote from the bottle: “Process from the state water Supply through the U.S.A Super purified and U.V sterilized system.” So basically, it appears to be American tap water.

So instead, here’s another teaser: The pool at glorious Saigon Phu Quoc Resort and Spa on Phu Quoc island, near the Cambodian border. The place was a bit of alright: We could have stayed there for weeks.

Recent favorites from this category include the following before and after shots of Katherine and little Alex.
