I stumbled across Lycee Marie Curie the other day, which Wikipedia says the only old French colonial school still using its original name. No children in evidence the day I passed.You see buildings like these every few blocks, usually off the main drags where they are more likely to have been replaced with new development. Mansions, villas, school and government buildings like this one, usually with mildew creeping up the sides.
The other day we went to the Museum of History, where all the exhibits thrum with a very conscious anti-colonialist message. Deep inside, we found one pair of copper doors still stamped with "Societe des Etudes Indochinoises," the founding organization of the original museum in 1929.
