Saigon Revisited by a Retired UPI Reporter
A former UPI Saigon correspondent recalls life in 1970s Saigon, describing daily chaos on the streets, the airport ride prank, growing motorbike culture with Honda bikes, urban air pollution, and the city’s pace. He revisits Restaurant 19, old colleagues, and memories of staff tensions, humor, and peril in wartime reporting.
