Bàn Cờ, translates to “Chessboard” due to the way the market resembles the shape and design of the popular board game. From wholesale materialistic goods, medicinal items, fresh market vendors, and food vendors, this market is anything but peaceful. Yet to me, it feels like home. It’s a place where you have to get a little too close to strangers, smell and see things you’ve never imagined, and see what daily life is like for someone in Saigon.

Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, officially Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of The Immaculate Conception is a cathedral located in the downtown of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
