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…
Hundreds of families live on building sites in Ho Chi Minh. Vast amounts of money are pouring into the famous city of Saigon, from Taiwan, China and Singapore. This money manifests itself in the form of new skyscrapers and residential buildings to cater for the emerging middle-class in Vietnam.
This was probably my favourite photograph of the whole trip. I wish WordPress allowed larger pictures (although I totally understand why it does not) because the detail in this picture is great. There is something very unfamiliar about this picture and it reminds me just how different Vietnam was.
There are approximately eight million motorcycles in Ho Chi Minh City. Out of all the bikes I saw, this one was my favourite. If anyone has any bike knowledge and can tell me what kind of bike it is, I’d appreciate it.

I can’t remember the name of the nature park this tree was in. It was on the second day of our motorbike tour from Da Lat to Nha Trang and we stopped at so many incredible places that the name of this area has slipped my mind. Through the hole you can see the side…
Day one in Vietnam was like a kaleidoscope. Before this trip I’d never left Europe. There were sights and colours and smells and sounds that I’d never experienced before and I felt like everything deserved a picture. I’ve narrowed down day one to these four shots. I think they capture the essence of the experiences…
One of the only sunsets I managed to capture whilst in Vietnam. This was taken on Vung Tau beach and the bay was full of ships. In the distance you could see several oil rigs, and a lot of the “petrocash” flows into Vung Tau city. The sea was full of Vietnamese cooling off at…
I’m going to Vietnam for just over two weeks. Expect food, photography and poetry when I get back. I’ve scheduled some posts to go up over the two weeks, and if you comment, like or follow, then I promise to get back to you when I return. If you’ve just dropped by, I hope you…
