Lost in Saigon

Yesterday, while i left the school, imagine my surprise when i couldn't turn left to come back home. Indeed, i get informed by a "xe om" that i have to turn right, go straight until... i can turn and then find my way.
I was sure, i gonna be lost in Saigon...

Like the first month in HCMC, isn't great? So exciting!
Yet, i have been lost, i drove around the district 8 which i didn't know. It looks like the side of the river when we travel to the mekong delta. There are building over 10m height, hundreds boats are loading are unloading various goods.

Actually, it is the contrast which stoke me. The contrast between this poor district hidden between the river and the district 7 and the centre of the city.
It is like this area of town have been for forgotten and is self-sufficient from the rest of the city.

After driving for a while, i passed a bridge and find a spot which could illustrate what i was experienced.
Unfortunately, i haven't my camera so i used my phone to take this picture.
I played with photoshop to separate downtown from these building; it seems to come from underground and spring up like mushroom.

I used black and white for the "vietnamese favelas" and saturated colors for the buildings. The light was not suitable to the picture and my equipment limited the result. Therefore, saturated color seems normal.
I didn't want to use to much effects on this picture. It would spoiled the natural.

Annoyed of reading, here the picture:
