[edit] Using local names
If Ha Noi and Sai Gon, rather than Hanoi and Ho Chi Min City, are used this conforms to local practice: The language only contains words of one syllable. Sai Gon is still used for the city (and railway station), whereas Ho Chi Min City is the name of the administrative region. Just follow the link to the VNR timetables for example Moonraker88 09:38, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- We should use the official and most common name for the cities which in English are Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The most common name for the country is Vietnam. See Talk:Vietnam.

- I followed your suggestion and looked at the Talk:Vietnam page. They're are still arguing, but Viet Nam seems to be winning. Anyhow, this is a railway page, so let's not argue here. Moonraker88 08:21, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
