In this latest broadcast from Ho Chi Minh City I’m coming to you from Cafe Vy near The Ben Thanh Market. I believe there is even a greater presence of Western tourists then 2 years ago. This city is definitely prepared with lots of amenities and a young workforce, one of the youngest and biggest on the planet per capita, that is capable of basic English speaking skills. The Vietnamese government recently reported their biggest year over year GDP growth in 11 years at 7.7%. When you look around this city, and I mean all of the districts, it’s pretty clear HCMC is growing at breakneck speed. I’m excited to be here and look forward to sharing at least one more episode before I depart.
