“Looking at the cars, I remember Saigon in the past. Interesting unique cars are not always visible, so I want to see them carefully. Although I'm not familiar with cars, I think they are rare so I'm quite curious. It must be very expensive, but I’m not sure how much one car costs," she said with a smile.
