6am – 8am: SAIGON / SÀI GÒN

Up early and on to the streets of Saigon

Breakfast of Pho Bo – Vietnamese noodle soup with beef broth & herbs

Tropical trees and dreamy vibes at Tao Dan Park

People watching and coffee drinking. Coarsely ground beans go into a French drip filter (called a phin), which sits on top of the cup. This coffee is very strong, and most people drink it with a little sweetened condensed milk.

Somewhat calm before the afternoon motorbike madness begins

Seeing the city from above

And on ground level

I fell in love with these colours

The brutalist architecture of the city…

Merges with the French Colonial and downright cute.

Cigarettes, a bag of skin and a pig’s leg. Vietnamese markets trying their hand at modern art.

Kitten. Rooftop. Laundry.
