The gate into the chaos of the world.View looking towards the street of Chinatown,  photos taken from the front yard of a Cantonese church in Ho Chi Minh Chinatown. 

Mr Binh "aka Mr Bean",  a notoriously famous tour guide among the tourist,  partly due to his no nonsense remarks on life and edgy humours;  an ex- US army,  an ex-war prisoner,  a half-philipino-vietnamese descendant; supposingly an author. 

Met a group french speaking tourists with a young kids , " presumely adopted.  The encounter reminds me of the Angelina Jolie's clan. 

Usually when I poke lense into faces of people, the majority responses by hiding, looking away or snare fierce,  not vietnamese,  they seemed to be natural, at ease and response to the camera.

I was at one of the tourist island,  " bee village to be exact",  while wondering at the back yard of the restaurant,  chasing after domestic pets,  I encouter a granny giving her grand daughter's a nice cold shower in midst of a hot afternoon.

Despite all the chaos,  once can still find innovative ways to have a quick afternoon nap.

At the Notre Dame cathedral,  I did not encouter hunchback but a number young couple.

Photo-taking session,  presumely of a group of boy-band of some sort.
