We took a taxi from the Notre Dame Cathedral to the Binh Tay Market in Cholon (Chinatown). The taxi fare was about 90,000 VND by meter and took about 25 minutes because of the traffic jams. Here, the motorcycle and people population seemed to be three times that of the Ben Tanh market area. We went into the Binh Tay market that was a wholesale market selling clothes and cloth. There was nothing much that we wanted to buy except socks. We got those and because the crowded streets were too much for us, we went to a KFC on the second storey of a building across the road from the market. What a great decision that was because we had the best lookout point for observing a part of life in Cholon. This set of photos were my personal best. Using my Olympus C750U I capitalised on the zoom feature and got shots of people going about their daily lives.
Lovely to see a different cultures. Nice photos of the street scenes. I hope to visit Vietnam next year.
