Ho Chi Minh City Streets (II)

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 6 April 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.

Outburst of Activity, Business and Traffic is what I think defines Ho Chi Minh City. You can see many informal businesses in the streets turning them into the biggest market, the city itself is like a huge market; activity never stops, traffic is unlimited and people is always giving a touch of warm feelings.

It looks like a place near the "Lotería" building, but with far more people! - except on wednesdays and sundays.

@paperdoll: Thank you Paperdoll, now that you mentioned that it actually looks like the Plaza de la Loteria, I didn't think about it, =)
