It seems that the final work for this part of the canal in the Phu Nhuan District is nearly complete. I doubt I will live in the area when they finally finish it sometime next year. It should look pretty though. Expect this to be a heavily developed area in the future. Property prices should jump up once they complete the canal project.
I came ‘home’ to visit in 2006, and 2007, i had lived in Phu Nhuan for 11 years before leaving in 1975. The canal is really dirty, but it is the home i know. Thanks for the shots, i took shots just like these at the time.

What was the canal like before 1975? You have any pictures?
