To see the original Notre Dame, check Paris page 5.
THE principal means of transportation in Vietnam is the motorbike. Saigon has 8 million residents and
4 million motorbikes, and you'll frequently see three, four, even five people riding on one bike.

Formerly known as the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the War Remnants Museum was renamed so

There are quite a few pieces of American hardware on display.
