Synapse
Mariamman Hindu Temple. Reputed to have miraculous powers. Considered sacred by ethnic Vietnamese and Chinese. Street life; a trash man, kids exercising, urban decay. -
Sensation
Chau Tay An Pagoda in Chou Dac on the Vietnam-Cambodia border. Cham people; girls, tapestry, cooking, chopping, selling fruits. -
Harmony
A cathedral, a piano teacher plays, numbered trees in a park. A brilliant blue butterfly and a wet water buffalo. -
Giac Vien Pagoda
Similar architecture to Giac Lam, late 1700's. Scholarly, serene and less visited in a rural area. Excellent well preserved carved divinities. -
Giac Lam Pagoda
Oldest pagoda in Saigon, 1744. Fantastic atmosphere.
