The U.S. Consulate General’s American Center in Ho Chi Minh City now re-opens its doors to welcome a larger number of visitors with updated, modern facilities after being closed for four months for renovation.
The renovated American Center, still located on the 8th floor of Diamond Plaza at 34 Le Duan Street, District 1 is now divided into different areas, each of which has a specific purpose and set of activities, the U.S. Consulate General said Thursday in a press release.
The place features a new lounge where visitors, especially students, can find their relaxing moments while watching movies or accessing the Internet.
It has a special area where readers can sit on large, smooth couches and view the beautiful city landscape through the windows.
