One of the things I've loved documenting through our Saigon Sunday Sessions is watching this city embrace its river. When we first arrived, so much of the waterfront was just walled off or wasted space.

Now, whether you're in District 1 or here at Binh Canh by Night, you can see how Saigon is transforming these spaces into something special. Sure, there are still challenges with pollution and development isn't perfect, but being able to walk along the river, grab a pizza or a beer, and watch the sunset over the city - it really shows how far Saigon has come.

It's exactly these kinds of changes that make living here so exciting - you're watching a city reinvent itself right in front of you.
