ABOUT SÀI GÒN
With over 8 million people, Sai Gon is the most populous city in Vietnam. The country's former capital has not one, but two names. Its official name is Ho Chi Minh City. The locals, however, still refer to their beloved city as Sai Gon. The two names of the city not only mirror its duality but also its clash of generations; with the majority of Sai Gon's population being under the age of 40, the young generation has developed a liking to a much more relaxed lifestyle and an attentiveness for the little pleasures in life - like savoring a nice cup of coffee.
