From the grits of Saigon's chợ cũ to the city from above, this is what we saw through our lens this week.

 

The Ton That Dam market, in the heart of district 1, has been around since 1911. Rumors have been swirling that this market will be moved later this year. However, from the locals that work here, they're not holding their breath.

Saigon's hems are the heartbeat of the city. Parking, eating, drinking, selling, buying, you name it. It's all done in these little alleys throughout the city.⠀ ⠀ This is @leestarnes, for Saigoneer.com⠀ ⠀ Follow @wearesaigoneer on Instagram and tag your photos of Vietnam with #wearesaigoneer in your caption for a chance to be featured.⠀ ⠀

Cutting Ice ~ this woman owns a little store in a tiny village of the Mekong, Vietnam. Ice delivery has just been made and she now cuts it up into smaller blocks for her cooler boxes. These blocks cost her just over $2 and will last her 5 days #susanimage #mekongvietnam #mekongdelta #loveasia #asialife #shopkeeper #iceblocks #cuttingice #vietnamtravel #igersvietnam #igvietnam #ig_vietnam #igvn #instavietnam #loves_vietnam #wearesaigoneer #humansofvietnam_ #windowtovietnam #vietnamlife #loves_united_vietnam#great_captures_people #splendid_people #people_infinity_ #environmentalportrait #storyphoto #spencer_travel_feature #humanity_shots_???? #reportagephoto #pict_lovers #loves_life
