When a child, I often desperately expected the holidays before the Lunar New Year, or Tet, to be picked by my uncle. My house at the time was used as both a fabric shop and a tailoring class on the former Truong Minh Giang Street (now Le Van Sy Street in HCMC’s District 3). My mother was so busy with her shop that an outing which fulfilled my wish was a sheer luxury to her. My uncle’s residence was a street-front house on Tran Binh Trong Street, now in District 5. I used to take a seat at the front door to watch the familiar horse carts every morning. I was appealed to the clip-clop of the horses’ hooves steadily knocking on the asphalted road, and the … [Read more...] about Memories for a city

The city still develops its domestic economy rather than focusing internationally toward growth,” Cung said. “Having … [Read more...] about Đà Nẵng looks to boost innovation
