I call Ho Chi Minh my second hometown, because I've lived and worked here after graduating from university in Russia. Here I started my YouTube channel and this city gave me an opportunity to start traveling the world. I can't wait to share my love for Ho Chi Minh with this video.
Ho Chi Minh is the largest city in Vietnam, and it’s a business and financial hub of the country. You might have heard different names of this city: Ho Chi Minh and Saigon. Saigon was the capital of French Indochina and then of South Vietnam until the fall of Saigon in 1975. Then the communist government renamed Saigon in honour of the president and the leader of the Vietnamese revolution Hồ Chí Minh.
