Bui Vien is the central street in the backpacker district of Ho Chi Minh. At night, the street heaves with the coming and going of motorcycle and taxi traffic, which have to literally push through the body of people that line the pavement and road. There are small, re-purposed shops that sell tourists and locals…

Wandered through Lincoln’s Inn early last year and was struct dumb by the hundred-year- old trees draped in mesh. I’d never seen it before, but apparently it’s something that happens quite often…
