Bui Vien - Daylight mode

Bui Vien is the backpackers street of Saigon. You either love it or hate it - your pick but some facts are undeniable.

It's the go-to place for getting your fix of the "adventurers/travelers" coming from the entire world (mostly the rich Western countries where you have the 20-year old something - looking to experience the S.E. Asian style of life - or a runway break from the harsh lives they lead back in the West).

It offers cheap living, cheap food, and with its central location is thus a very functional place to crash.

Most interesting person I met there : was a fortune teller - she was very persistent in sharing her foresight to the surrounding onlookers - she seemed to have warped in time from the 1960s - and I did want to just give her a hug and tell her that 1968 was now over.

Will try to get a night picture to clash immediately with the daylight one - as that is when the true "heart" of Bui Vien comes out.
