It’s complicated…
Life in Saigon
Moving House
Mrs Hoff started the move.
Can’t read what she’s thinking? Click here.
I noticed the boxes we were using had once held something entirely different…was it a bad omen?
So, a five minute journey down to the end of Tran Khac Chan, over the small bridge, and we’re home — Mieu Noi apartments.
The thing I love about this place is the view. From our place, up on the 16th floor, we have an unobstructed view over District 1, District 3, and other areas of the city.. Here’s my map of the D1 skyline as seen from chez moi (or check the larger size here).

And finally, the sunset over the city.

John and Chi,
Congratulations on your move up in the world. Welcome to Q. Phu Nhuan — a little closer to our place.

Saigon is small. I work just behind your building.
Hey Mel,
Thanks for the message - but actually it’s in Binh Thanh. I was convinced it was Phu Nhuan as well, in fact, it was probably me who told you it was PN come to think of it!
Eliot. Who do you work for?
great to see you both moving on up to higher places.Obviously a lot bigger than the one room your used to.Hope to see some pictures of your new place on your blog.One good thing if the lifts break down it will be good training for the football! Good luck to you both.
Congratulations on the new place. It seems you guys definitely have a beautiful view of the city! Reminds me again that my heart is in Vietnam, and my shell of a body continues the hum drum life in the states.
Nice pics!
(like the boxes
RManon, certianly true about the lifts. I’m more worried about a power cut when I’m IN the lift. Always a possibility.
Your wife, she say “twat” that is the insect? I do not know cameras digital can now read mind like the Steve Jobs. How intricate very.
Hey, it looks good - wish you all the best in your new pad!
