Funny thing, Only the people in the north, or the authorities call it Ho Chi Minh City.....Almost everyone in the South still call it Saigon. Guess there's still some animosity between the north and south. I go to Vinh Long, which is about 2hrs south of Saigon, on the Mekong Delta. Also, maybe I should get her info from you, as I have aspirations of running some business in VN, and have even considered the Import Export Business.. @ZMan67S
When I worked at Jeep Truck before CTC was built, we would sometimes have to go to Highland Park to meet with some of the other Chrysler engineers... We would have to take I-96 to Davison Freeway which would take us right to Highland Park HQ....
However, Davison Freeway between I-96 and I-94 was a pretty rough neighborhood and you didn't want to stop for anything if you didn't have to... We referred to Davison Freeway as the "Ho Chi Minh Trail"... You could get robed while stopped at a stop light on there...
