VIETNAM - HCM - THE SAIGON ZOO. Zoological Park Ho Chi Minh City is one of the largest green spaces in this frantic metropolis where nature is scarce. Built by order of the admiral-governor of Cochin China in 1864, when the city was called Saigon, it proudly claims to be the eighth oldest zoo in the world. And yet, when you enter, a strange feeling invades us because everything seems to have been abandoned. The infrastructure hosting the few remaining animals are completely dilapidated and visitors are scarce.VIETNAM - HCM - LE ZOO DE SAIGON. Le parc zoologique de Ho-Chi-Minh-Ville est lun des plus grands espaces vert de cette métropole frénétique où la nature se fait rare.

LAO - VIENTIANE LA COMPROMISEMême si elle se rapproche du million dhabitants, Vientiane a encore les allures dune bourgade à côte des mégapoles des pays voisins telles que Bangkok ou Ho-Chi-Minh Ville. Cela nempêche pas la capitale laotienne de rêver du même destin. La culture ancestrale du Laos, étroitement liée au culte bouddhique, se veut sans vains désirs ni ambitions démesurées. Aujourdhui, la rupture est totale et Vientiane en est lillustration. La croissance exponentielle du pays est principalement due aux investissements étrangers, avec en première ligne la Chine, qui viennent puiser dans les nombreuses ressources naturelles du pays, notamment dans les secteurs miniers, forestiers et hydroélectriques.Ainsi, avec la mondialisation qui entraine luniformisation des modes de vie et ces nouvelles richesses qui sont créées, les habitants de la capitale aspirent à un nouveau destin.
