It happened to me last Saturday in Saigon, which generated tantrum injury term from Stuart. Here's the story.After wandering around Ben Thanh Market in a hot, humid temperature to buy oleh-oleh, we ended up in New World Hotel for a drink. After a tiring, serious, deep conversation about conquering the fridge magnet world, where two of the guys were determined to penetrate and be successful entrepreneurs, we decided to go for a massage on the place next door called Le Lai. I insisted very hard that I did not want a naughty massage, so one of the guys went there first to make sure that it is a descent, respectable place. He came back with a good news that it is indeed a nice place, and ladies get 30% discount. Great, let's go! So 4 guys and I went to Le Lai to have a full body massage. The receptionist gave a locker key to each one of us, and explained that guys will get sauna treatment... | | By: Finally Woken | | |

The staff would have spoil him from the white-limousine pick-up at the airport to the after-hour drink in the bar. He would have loved to stroll through the marble pillared foyer, chat in the SaxophoneLobby Lounge and dine int he Hoa Mi Vietnamese Seafood restaurant. Maybe he would not have taken advantage of pool and tennis, business center and spa, but the steady stream of international travelers do. In the centre of the city, just around the corner from Ben Thanh Market and only a stone's throw from the financial district, art galleries, antique stores and historical sites of Old Saigon, the renowned Hongkong hotel group has created a new world for visitors to Vietnam's secret capital.

| | SAIGON - HO CHI MINH CITY - Vietnam | | 2007-12-09 13:49:00 | | Photo: View from Saigon Trade Center building - currently the tallest building in SaigonPopulation: 4.5mArea code: (+84) 8Time zone: GMT +7Currency: Dong (D)Climate: Tropical, hottest months Mar-May, monsoon rain May-Oct;Average temperature: 29C/82FTan Son Nhat Airport (SGN): 7km/4milesOld habits die hard. Just St Petersburg has officially triumphed over Leningrad at last, it seems as if Saigon is also rising phoenix-like from the ashes of Ho Chi Minh City - in spirit as well as in name. Saigon is the name on everyone's lips, for the entrepreneurial flair of Vietnam's southern metropolis has survived undaunted, and the airport baggage tags never ceased to bear the legend 'SGN' anyway. Hanoi may be the capital and a few hundred years older, but the motor behind the country's progress into the next millennium is being fuelled by its largest city.Built on the site of an ancient Khmer settlement, Saigon's transformation into a flourishing trading center took place about a century before the arrival of the French in 1859. They brought with them formal gardens, tree-lined boulevards and Ruffier's grandiloquent neoclassical palais architecture, which imposed on the capital of Chochin-China something of the appearance of a Paris suburb during the Belle Epoque. They also brought a modern drainage system, steam tramways, baguettes and an array of less tangible assets. The ocher-colored stucco is peeling in places and English is rapidly taking over as the lingua franca, but the faded colonial elegance seems to haunt the "City of the Kapok Tree Forest" through the fading spectres of the more recent past, giving it a slightly wistful air. South of the twin-spired red-brick cathedral runs Graham Greene's beloved Rue Catinat - rechristened Dong Khoi, the 'Street of the People's Revolution'. His 'Quiet American' would have felt at home in the trendy new restaurants and bars clustered round the lower end near the Continental, for at night this was one of the raciest di... | | By: The Best Of Asia | | |
