Traveling through Saigon: Unforgettable Moments
Weather
'Saigon weather, much like a Saigon lady, is capricious!' This is a common saying among those who have lived in Saigon for a long time, exchanged among friends or simply with an acquaintance upon meeting. Sometimes, while lost in thought, a sudden rain pours down, then the sky clears as if it had never rained, which is not uncommon in Saigon.
High School Girls in Ao Dai
Graceful high school girls in elegant ao dai, pedaling slowly on bicycles through the streets may seem rare nowadays. But if you catch sight of this image, you'll surely feel a twinge of nostalgia.
The Brown Cotton Season
There's a very special season in Saigon that I often refer to as the 'cotton season' – it's the season when brown cotton flowers bloom, fall, and blanket entire street corners. Especially in the early morning or late afternoon, every gust of wind spins thousands of brown-red petals (when the cotton is still young) like little whirligigs before they touch the ground. That image is surely imprinted in the minds of many, particularly during school years when the cotton season coincides with the season of farewells.
