... Pretty view of students in front of their highschool... Marie Curie High School is one of the oldest and most architecturally unique schools in Saigon... featured with classic French architecture style mixed with traditional oriental decoration... established in 1918 and named after the Nobel prize-winning scientist Marie Curie by the French colonial government, it remains the only high school in Saigon that still bears its original name... but french heritage left Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) also classic automobiles like this great citroen Traction and many more examples... Thanks a lot Jobbo!【ツ】
