No Power – Tropical Storm Pahkar
|
Tropical Storm Pahkar passed by Saigon last Sunday. A relatively smalls storm causing significant damage. We lost power for nearly 2 hours where I lived. It has been a while since I actually used a candle in my room. First time I can actually use a mobile phone camera to take a decent picture of this…  No Power - Typhoon Pahkar This is a photo post by Kevin Miller, Jr., author of SaigonNezumi.com and GoHalalVietnam! |

Packed Saigon Zoo
This is how packed the entrance at the Saigon Zoo was on April 30, 2013, known as Liberation Day here in Saigon. I think most people were parking to see the parade.

PetroVietnam Tower
One of the most famous, and wealthiest, companies is located here. PetroVietnam is the arm that focuses on the oil industry in Vietnam.
