Tourists in Cyclos

Smiling Motorcyclists

Family on a Motorcycle

After work I sometimes go into the city to take pictures. It is very relaxing, just standing on a corner looking at the traffic, watching Vietnamese life buzzing past. If I have been cross or annoyed, my first few pictures are a bit jerky, but after a while things slowly come together.

Somebody somewhere should write a book about the Vietnamese and their motorcycles.

George - My Neighbour

I’ve noticed, nearly all the pictures I have posted have been out of doors, so I thought for a change I would post this one of my neighbour. Normally, he flies off when he sees me approach, but on this occasion he was obviously in the mood for recieving guests.

Whenever I walk into the city (along Tran Hung Dao), I am always curious about this place. I like the curious little chateaux/castle  on the first floor. If you didn’t look up you might miss it.

Wagons

Ok. Last night I trudged across the river to RMIT to watch the Loreto Fest 2010.

And I took lots of pictures.My main problem now is editing them all. I expect I’ll put most of them on my Flickr page if anyone wants to look at them.
