Highlights
Are you tired of all the cliché touristic spotlight ? Full of tourists, nothing else but the selfie stick and "soulless" luxury shop. Do you want to experience the local life of Saigon in a very specific way: through the viewfinder of the analog camera ? In this experience, you come to my store to pick up a TLR camera and one roll B&W medium format film. After the short brief about how to use it and small talk about Saigon. We will discover: - THE COFFEE AND STREET FOOD CULTURE OF VIETNAM: Start with a 90-year old coffee shop, where you will sit down and enjoy the coffee like a local. - THE " ORIGINAL" ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY: You will know how to use ALL the cameras in this world and practice by wind your way through nearby ALLEY street markets and the oldest apartment HIDDEN in town. - SAIGON LOCAL TOUCH: I will help you to " BREAK THE ICE" by being your translator and connecting through all local people. Let's begin, shall we ;)

About Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, is Vietnam's buzzing commercial hub of French colonial landmarks, war history and superb street food.
District 1 holds the main sights within walking distance: the red-brick Notre-Dame Cathedral, the elegant Central Post Office with its vaulted hall, the colonial Opera House and the ornate City Hall. The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.
Top-ranked sights in Ho Chi Minh City: Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon Opera House (Opéra de Saïgon), Saigon Central Post Office.
