I recall chaos at any other time of year there as well. So many people all going about their busy lives all at once. I like how you captured the feeling of constant motion, which is, to me, what Vietnam is all about now.
What a wonderful idea. Using a slow shutter speed to express chaotic conditions is a perfect solution. I can feel the throbbing press of the crowd here. (Better to do it like this, in retrospect. I was probably already asleep in my hotel room, only a short distance away.)
