Today I got a nice postcard from Vietnam! The postcard shows a view of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Head Office. Also known as the Hôtel de Ville de Saïgon, it was built at the start of the 20th century. It was built in the French colonial style. After 1975, its name was changed to its current name and it was no longer open to the public or to tourists. Thanks Jo!

Today I got a beautiful postcard from Vietnam! The postcard shows a nice scene at the famous Ha Long Bay. Ha Long bay, which is located in Quảng Ninh Province, occupies an area of about 1,500 square kilometres and has almost 2,000 small islets made up of limestone. These islets developed over half a billion years and they are home to may different flora and fauna. The area has been occupied by humans for thousands of years, as shown by prehistoric evidence. Thanks Jo!

Today I got a nice postcard from Vietnam! Throughout Vietnam's experiences of war, the militiawoman has been the icon for Vietnamese women. During the war, Vietnamese women enlisted and fought. They also helped in logistics and in cooking. Some of them took over the farming tasks in the rural areas in order to help the war effort. Women also fought on both sides. Thanks Jo!
