The
following photos have been taken by a US serviceman, Michael Anderson.
Perhaps, these are a few great shots of Saigon that I have ever happened
run into while searching on the internet. The candid photos depict
muti-faceted daily life of Saigon during the war time. You can notice
the barbwire and sand bags as war-reminding images in some pictures
while the others would bring back many "things" and "signs" that time
had erased in our memories, for example: The public-drop mail-box of
Saigon Post Office.
If you haven't been there by 1975, now you can see
what Saigon looks like by then. She wasn't charming or elegant as "Pearl
of The Far East" as some colonist or novelists had glamorized. She was
so ordinary, down-to-earth, but confident; tattered but self-reliant;
volatile but dedicated; and above all and most importantly she breathed
free...! Enjoy the nostalgic photos!

The last photo seems to be a
symbolic image of Saigon on the morning of April 30, 1975, when many,
natives and foreigners alike shoved one another and ran for their lives
in panic, abandoned Saigon, leaving her desperate and helpless behind.
