Founded by the Khmer from Cambodia and con- verted into the capital of French Indochina during the French colonization, the largest city in Viet- nam is still called Saigon by its residents. Its hot and humid climate shapes everyday life, pushing its citizens to invade the streets, restaurants and public places late in the evening to enjoy the rare but pleasant cool air.
