Great photos. You captured interesting things of Saigon that I tend to overlook as I grew up there. It's funny because I almost never ventured inside the Ben Thanh Market :) By the way, I think the snack you had from a street vendor was Fried Rice Flour cake (Banh Bot Chien), instead of carrot-cake. It's made like an omelette and topped with shredded radish and carrot and spring onion and drowned in hot soya sauce. A very popular snack for school kids. Thanks for sharing these photos.

Nice photos!
esp the photos from inside the cathedral! Looking at your photos brings back fond memories of my Vietnam visit a couple years ago.
