    A riddle on my mind.

    The communists won the war and changed Saigon to HCM city. So why is the airport code still called SGN for many decades after? Anyone know?!

    Good point. I don’t think HCM is taken yet.

    FYI local people from South Vietnam still call it Saigon. And if foreigners say “Ho Chi Minh” they will hurry and correct you 😄
