From jocular street vendors to modernist buildings, this is what we saw through our lens this week.

 

Street food vendors are the life of this city. Just regular people, feeding the masses with specialties passed down, trying to make a living in a time that sees their livelihood at risk. Many thanks to my brother and mentor, @leestarnes for handling the edits on this one when I busted up my hand in a motorbike accident.

Patterns and textures of Vietnamese modernist architecture still linger on decades old facades. Here is a prime example at Chợ Xóm Chiếu market in District 4.⠀ ⠀ This is Brandon, for Saigoneer.com

Hallways, stairwells, and dark little corners are where some of the most amazing places are in Saigon.⠀ ⠀ This is @leestarnes, for Saigoneer.com⠀ ⠀ Follow @wearesaigoneer on Instagram and tag your photos of Vietnam with #wearesaigoneer for a chance to be featured.⠀ ⠀ ⠀

We weren't the only ones out and about this week. Here are five of our #wearesaigoneer favorites:

 

Through the train bridge railing ~ Long Bien Night Market is chaotic between 1-6am every morning where fruit, vegetables and fresh meat arrive in trucks from the Vietnamese countryside and from China. An incredible vibe that starts every day in this city: motorbikes, trucks, bicycles, and lots and lots of people all vying for space and making sales. What an amazing experience to have gone there!! #susanimage #hanoi???????? #ig_hanoi #longbienmarket #longbienbridge #longbienhanoi #vietnamtravel #igersvietnam #igvietnam #ig_vietnam #igvn #instavietnam #loves__vietnam #wearesaigoneer #humansofvietnam_ #windowtovietnam #visitvietnam #vietnamlife #marketlife #nightmarket #foodmarkets #phototour #vietnaminfocus #environmentalportrait #storyphoto #everydayasia #streetphotography #wanderlust
