Faces of Saigon






Saigon or one million different kind of noises



Being in Saigon is being exposed to hundreds of different kinds of noises. They come from all different kind of sources: people, animals, things. They are in the air, in your head, in your legs, in your mind. And the noises never stop, they run 24 hours, every minute and every second. You cannot escape. Everything and everyone moves in the waves of the horns of the motorbikes, the yelling of the street vendors, the music coming from shops, restaurants or telephones. People scream, cry, laugh, spit, fart ....
Adding to the noises comes heat, dirt, heat, dirt, heat and dirt. its like a mad house, especially being on the road.
