	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Indo-China
		Cholon is connected to the capital by a steam railroad and by an arroyo.
		This is the Annamite cemetery, and the mournful appearance of the scene is increased by the treeless and almost verdureless character of the landscape.
		The Mayor of Cholon, nominated by the Governor-General, is assisted by three deputies—one French, one Annamite, one Chinese—and nine councillors, three being from each of the representative races.

	Dr. Annette Cholon
		Cholon assisted Dr. Laub's SRS's for the last 5 years, and now she is doing the primary work herself.
		Cholon is a delightful young blonde woman, rather reminding me of the actress Tea Leoni.
		I do feel that Dr. Cholon is one of the top surgeons, and I relied a lot on Judy van Maasdam's recommendation as she has a lot of experience and expertise working with many surgeons over many years.

	Thirty Years On, Saigon's Cholon Thrives Again (washingtonpost.com)
		When American officials began negotiations for an "Orderly Departure Program" to halt the sea-borne exodus in which untold numbers died at the hands of pirates and in storms, they asked for a list of people the communist government was prepared to let go.
		The first list they received, known jokingly among U.S. diplomats as "The Cholon Telephone Directory," was seen as evidence of how strong the new government's desire was to see the back of the ethnic Chinese.
		Some were too poor to buy their way onto a boat for a passage which had to be paid for in gold.

		Cholon is a non-stop hive of activity, of dawn-to-dusk markets, abundant fresh produce stalls and relentless entanglements of motorbikes, cyclos and pedestrians.

		The VC and NVA were at their best when they held the initiative, moving through advantageous terrain as light infantry, attacking small American units and perhaps pinning them down, at least until American firepower support came into play.
		But in Cholon, the Communists were cornered and basically at the mercy of the Americans.
		It was even thought-erroneously, as it turned out-that the unit had killed the VC commanding general in addition to destroying his command post.

		I soon learned from a friend on the 3rd floor that one of the guys was being transferred to Phu Bai so I put dibs on the bed and pretty soon I moved to a 3rd floor inside room.
		Lots of youthful days and nights in Cholon and Saigon like at the President hotel on top of the roof with the pool getting drunk with guys and the coes or girls, watching the helicopters shooting tracers down in a fire fight while we partied.
		What is vivid in my mind is the time when we got hit in February and a mortar round landed in the exact spot I just passed, and a guy named Shaffer who ran into a wall and broke his nose and got the purple heart.

	[Vnbiz] Thirty Years On, Saigon's Cholon Thrives Again
		Thirty Years On, Saigon's Cholon Thrives Again Wed Mar 30, 9:46 AM ET By Michael Battye HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (Reuters) - Cholon, Saigon's Chinatown, is back in business, its traffic-clogged streets lined with bustling stores, small businesses, restaurants and markets.
		Three decades after terrified Cholon residents rushed to join the flood of "boat people" fleeing the new communist authorities, the neighborhood is thriving once more as Vietnam encourages private business and opens its arms to foreign investors.
		Ethnic Chinese "were told it would be very difficult for them to live under the new regime," said one trader in Cholon.

		The dense cluster of streets comprising the Chinese ghetto of Cholon is linked to the city centre by five-kilometre-long Tran Hung Dao and best reached by Saigon Star Co bus to Huynh Thoai Yen, on Cholon's western border.
		The ethnic Chinese, or Hoa, first began to settle here around the turn of the nineteenth century and Cholon is now the biggest Hoa community in the country.
		Residents tended to gravitate towards others from their region of China, and each congregation built its own places of worship and clawed out its own commercial niche – thus the Cantonese handled retailing and groceries, the Teochew dealt in tea and fish, the Fukien were in charge of rice, and so on.
