Vignette | Charting the Flow of the Nhiêu Lộc Canal From Start to Historical Start

To explore Nhiêu Lộc Canal, there are two directions curious Saigoneers can take: you can choose to delve into the history behind its founding, as a waterway established in the 19th century to connect with the Mekong Delta, for travel, trade and help control floods; or you can take a short drive upstream to Út Tịch Street in Tân Bình, where the water begins. We chose the second option. ___ Written by Paul Christiansen.

Vignette | An Argument for Why Võng Should Be a Staple Amenity in Every Home

In the past, võng was a mark of prestige reserved for court mandarins and rich nobles who could afford to be carried around by servants. In today’s Vietnam, however, it’s often associated with cheap rest stops and countryside homes, which is a shame because the hammock, our writer argues, is one of the most comfortable places to take a nap out there. ___ Written by Paul Christiansen.

Vignette | Pristine Blue Sky and Memorial Park: Ruminating on What the Covid-19 Pandemic Left Us

“Piercing through the teardrop monument is a heart-shaped hole. It exists because we are all incomplete alone, incomplete without the care and labor of and for one another, a reciprocity so often unfulfilled. Standing before the droplet, I observe what it reflects. I’m there, tiny amidst it all. And above me, the bright blue sky, still looming large, still looming high.”___Listen to the full article at: YouTube: https://youtu.be/O5cP4onL_5Q Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7ANeCJeYMqOGvxQezomHv0?si=gYfpQIezTS-1djMLvnqvDQ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/vn/podcast/saigoneer/id1879690733?i=1000769811514

Vignette | Unraveling the Mystery Behind the 'Mùi Việt Kiều' of My Childhood

If you have relatives who live abroad, it's likely that you've noticed this aroma, which perfumes their luggage whenever they make a visit. Amongst the Hershey's Kisses, Irish Spring soaps, and multivitamins, there's a distinctive scent that's often referred to as "mùi Việt Kiều." As lunar new year is coming close and so is reunion season, our writer takes a walk down memory lane to reflect on the mùi Việt Kiều of Tết past. ___ Listen to the full article at: YouTube: https://youtu.be/visObKtvApQ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4f2jyM5nnGu9ofxuDawGYB?si=MJMFq15JRuipLwdVPAVgNQ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/vn/podcast/saigoneer/id1879690733?i=1000768735106

Vignette | On Grappling With Our Complicated Bond With Single-Use Raincoats

"Love them or resent them, these raincoats are an inevitable artifact of our species’ optimism and hubris. We always think we will not forget, until we do. And when that moment arrives, the choreography is oddly uniform, open the under-seat compartment, find the raincoats, lift them, and know they will not survive another storm. We pull over and buy more." ___ Written by Uyên Đỗ. Read the full article here: https://saigoneer.com/society/28436-on-grappling-with-our-complicated-bond-with-single-use-raincoats.

Vignette | How Soy Milk Symbolizes an Imagined Vietnam of My Childhood in France

“I still remember vividly the anticipation running through my veins, when I saw a waiter bringing me a glass of sữa đậu nành, every time my family took me to one of the many Vietnamese restaurants of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, the city’s renowned Chinatown. For me, this glass represented the quintessence of typical Vietnamese drinks during a good meal: one of the rare glimpses into the daily customs of my ancestor’s culture.” ___ Written by Tom Phạm.
