With already 12 months behind us and decidedly another 3 to go, we made our way back to Saigon, a budding metropolis of young creatives and entrepreneurs. Though it's long been the country's center of commerce for locals and foreigners alike, in the recent years, there's been an increasing infiltration of relevant fashion, art, and music enhanced by this new wave of progressive minds.
We came here with the notion of setting some groundwork for what's to come post-voyage, excited to be in the midst of this imminent cultural transformation, though mildly circumspect about the fate of age-old traditions. In our hearts, we hope this collision of old and new will coexist well into the distant future, while retaining their respective charisma and authenticity.
