Sài Gòn / HCM-City, Vietnam, 2014 - Leica M7, Summilux 35, Kodak Tri-X * The 5-star Caravelle Saigon Hotel was officially opened to the public on Christmas Eve 1959. It features a stylish French and Vietnamese architecture. Luxury indecently stands alongside poverty in Vietnam. Everything is today subordinated more than ever to a quest for success with a wish for growth at all cost for escaping poverty. Moreover, economic inequality is reinforced by inequality of voice and opportunity, with the poorest excluded in favor of the rich. Like China Vietnam could have become a "red capitalist" country.
