Vietnam, a wedding and the city around it
Ho Chi Minh City, from giant ducks beneath glass towers to noodles, herbs and a café stop.
I went to Ho Chi Minh City for a friend’s wedding. My caption added that I was contemplating marrying a tree. The tree’s position on the matter was left unstated.
The wedding gave the trip its occasion. Around it, the album gathered city buildings, bright attractions and a few tables worth remembering.
B.Duck City Funs, Ho Chi Minh City
A giant yellow duck sits beneath a stepped glass tower at B.Duck City Funs. The bright figures and fenced rides occupy the space below a skyline of glass and straight lines.
Bún Chả Phố Cổ, Ho Chi Minh City
At Bún Chả Phố Cổ, the table was covered with noodles, bowls of meat and vegetables, and a basket of leafy herbs. The restaurant’s name appears on the blue-and-white bowls as well as the storefront. The separate plates leave plenty of room to put a bite together with chopsticks.
A café stop in Ho Chi Minh City
An iced drink and a pastry in a paper bag make a smaller meal from the trip. Between the wedding visit, the city and the shared bowls, there was room for a simple café tray too.
