I can confirm that the American Embassy we saw on the newscasts of that awful day when the US Marines pulled out of Saigon is no longer there. We saw it in 1994 when I believe it belonged to an oil company. It was a pretty unimpressive building in itself but the very sight of it could send shivers down the spine of anyone old enough to remember it's past.

I am sure you will enjoy Vietnam. We will be returning in March 2005 to see for ourselves just how much it has prospered in the interim.

We have photos and a report of our trip on our web site. Regards, Sue in Waterloo. http://www.wright-photo.com
