Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

It's an isolating feeling to be standing alone on one side of the street while the rest of your family is already safely on the other side because you were too chicken to follow them. But now they are standing there across this vast expanse of moving honking metal and are snickering at your cowardice and distracting you from the focus needed to judge the best moment to step into life-threatening traffic all on your own.
Ho Chi Minh City is in the southern part of Vietnam. It was formerly known as Saigon. Now the locals refer to Saigon as the downtown area. It is a busy bustling noisy place. Scooters are everywhere and most riders wear face masks to try and create some barrier between their lungs and the pollution created by all the vehicles.
