It has been 2 1/2 years since my last trip to vietnam but heading back down the manufacturing path again finds me here ready to be inspired and creative.
Arrived Ho Chi Minh City to find our hotel facing a massive street / boulevard renovation happening before our eyes. In the 4 days we were there the amount of pavement laying and construction by bare foot un protected workers is amazing. also for residents and tourists it is just a matter of walking through the building site to get where you need to go but what ever you do don't fall down a hole as I don't think travel insurance would cover it.

We visited the Fine Arts gallery in Saigon which inspired me to contemplate my guava juice.

We also discovered the Pasteur street brewing company on Pasteur street in Saigon. A must if you are visiting Ho Chi Minh City. A very chilled environment with a great tester set of the beers on tap. My favourites were passionfruit infused and oolong tea ale. Don't be put off by the sound of this. The flavours were so subtle and the taste was excellent. These brews are made by a very experienced brewer from the USA. Really check out their Facebook page Pasteur Street Brewing Company.
There are so many places and things to see in Ho Chi Minh but the old Saigon is slowly being swallowed up by the big HCM.
