When is an Embassy not an Embassy? 37 years ago today
Thread Starter
I’m back in Saigon, after a two-year absence, for some post-COVID R&R.
Many things remain the same and there are also many changes. A lot of stores and restaurants have closed, and many of the bars I was familiar with, have either closed or changed their names.
However, one thing endures and even draws attention to itself these days - the elevator shaft on the Pittman building!

Time flys!
