MISC. SAIGON STUFF

---

Saigon has a China town populated by 400,000 Chinese. Also visited a Chinese Wholesale Market. They wouldn’t sell to us, they want big sales…thousands of pieces.

I love to people watch. Took some pics of people on motorbikes, pushing their carts down the streets, and traffic jams.

FOUR ON A MOTOR BIKE
This one's for Sharon. It's hard to see but that is a family of four on the red motorbike.

LADY COVERED UP
Women are covered up from the top of their heads to their toes, even though it's in the 90's. This is strictly to keep the sun off of them. The lady in this picture is wearing satin gloves up to her elbows. They say that Vietnamese men desire women with very fair complexions and soft, neat hands. This means the woman does not work in the fields and has family money or she has a job indoors.

SAIGON TRAFFIC
WOW,most of this group actually waited for the light to change.

WHO NEEDS A HELMET??
The few times I saw anyone wearing a helmet, it was a construction hat!

WOMEN WITH CART
She's pushing this cart down the street right along with traffic.
