For this week’s #PostboxSaturday, we’re traveling to Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon) with postcrosser Helen, who visited the city’s beautiful main post office!

There's postcard and philatelic stands, nice floor tiles, grand arches... and even tables where people can sit down and write their postcards! 😍

Hi, this is Helen. Yes, there was a fellow who spent his retirement years “volunteering” in the post office where he sat every day to help people read and write letters and postcards. More than a decade if I recall correctly. It was chaotic and *magical* to shop for postcards and to write them alongside dozens of other people from all over the world.
