An offering

Ho Chi Minh stad (Saigon),
Vietnam


A young girl in search of a husband makes an offering of flowers in the Ngoc Hoang Pagoda, a living and working shrine in use by the locals who frequently come here to say prayers or make votive offerings of candles, joss sticks and flowers

She wears the traditional "ao dai" which looks so feminine as opposed to the western clothes that most of the young girls wear, and certainly more feminine and flattering to some of the clothes that I saw western tourists wearing. The rule; be sure to dress conservatively and dress for the occasion, seems to have been lost of some travellers. OMG.
