Saigon 1995

Saigon 1995 Saigon 1995 In 1995 I was one of the first American tourists Allowed into Vietnam To freely wander about Tourism was at its infancy And Saigon was chaotic Wild and crazy Traffic was insane There were few tourism sites Few hotels Few guest houses And not too many restaurants The food was good We saw the war memorial The reunification palace And the big market But we felt we were being monitored Beggars were everywhere There were scams everywhere And it was not that pleasant an experience But Saigon grew up Became a much more tourist-friendly place And these problems we encountered A thing of the place Saigon is so much better So much more developed That it has captured our soul And we will be back
