Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, is the location of Van Hanh University, where the author lectures. He also visits a nightclub here and the South Vietnamese tourist bureau. He takes a train from Saigon to Bien Hoa. Parts of Bien Hoa were an American base that has been abandoned and turned into a refugee camp.
