2 - "Creative Juices for Creative Peeps." I was just waming up my camera as it was fogged attributed to the hotelroom's aircon. I should have kept it in the safe as a drybox.
3 - "Tutik Breakfast ." Warming up my cam some more, I remember one of those pop-photography thingy so I decided to create one for my folio.
4 - "Tay Son Arthouse." Our first stop, the first area that we entered before the art merchandise gallery is the back-of-the-house work areas where some of the items are being made.
5 - "Looking Behind." I noticed some of the unfinished items and took this. Only realized the artistic potential of this image at the end of the day while browsing the images. The lady in white wearing that uniquely Vietnamese hat posed as if she's waiting or speaking to the other lady behind her.
6 - "Vietnamese Dragon." Taken a few minutes before the bus leaves for Mekong river. I passed by this dragon boat a few times but only decided to shoot it when the shop was almost empty. I had to squat to shoot the dragon at almost eye level.
7 - "Wading Flood." Our bus was heading to Mekong River somewhere in the outskirt of HCM. The traffic was really heavy and some of the streets were flooded. I heard Bong seated far behind shouted "look at those kids swimming!," pulled my camera, the bus was moving really fast, luckily my shutter is defaulted fast enough to capture the moment. A few more millisecond more I could have captured the backrest of my seat.
8 - "Two-storey Unit and Void Deck." A Vietnamese version of an HDB? Taken during our ferry ride at Mekong River.
9 - "Mekong River Tourist Ferry." We rode a similar ferry like this.
10 - "Master and Servant (Who is who?)." Our ferry's driver smiling gladly. His pet is a poser too.
11 - "Mekong River's Elephant Fish." We docked at a restaurant for lunch.
12 - "Cool Tourists." A few poses before filling our tummies.
13 - "I'm Just Fine Here." 
14 - "Mr. Candyman." Next is a stop to a village candy factory. Light was just nice to highlight the candyman, the background suggesting how far he is from the light source hence, the semi-silhouette effect.
15 - "Candy Bees." We were told these bees will only sting children. How insecure these bees are.
16 - "Floating Resto." A serene place to dine and rest.
17 - "Vietnamese Altar"
18 - "Provision Shop." We walked through a village and exchanged smiles with the locals. They were very friendly and keen to pose for pictures even if we did'nt purchase anything.
19 - "S-neck." A damn big snake, I felt him squeezing my leg during a pose.
20 - "Mekong Bancas." Interesting sight from the bridge. The blues really stands out in this picture.
21 - "Am I Cute?" Back to the ferry and took this. He is very camera friendly.
22 - "Twin Blue Cruise Boats" as we pass by...
23 - "Twin Blue Fishing Boats"
24 - "Female Construction Workers." After the Mekong cruise we headed to a Buddhist temple. Just outside of the temple's premises is this construction site, a giant buddha being erected. I noticed these ladies lifting mortars. They were too shy to face the cam so most of the shots I managed never captured their faces.
25 - "Father and Kid." The father came to me and asked to be photographed. They were too happy to see themselves on the LCD.
26 - "Kapok is Saigon." Yet, another shot.
27 - "Wild Frangi." Those we have in Singapore have pointed leaves. This species have rounded tips similar to the white frangis.
28 - "Airbournes." Haha, nice one!
29 - "Bikers Galore." Back to the city of bikers.
