Just came across your blog….love the stories you posted about Vietnam. Yes, Vietnam has a “crossing guard” service which I think started about 3 years ago, free of charge to foreigners- who appear too scare to cross a busy street in Saigon City. It actually is a PR tactic to bring more travelers to Vietnam. This service is performed by the ( Doan Thanh Nien Xung Phong) Volunteer Vietnamese Youth Organization and the various University Students Groups.
I currently am living in S.I. NY and planning to visit VN soon. I may even look for an opportunity to work there as an ESL teacher or some thing…

I like the fond memories that flood back when revisiting a place. Usually has a touch of sadness as well to see all of the changes.

I visited HCMC in the 90s and was blown away by the activity – everything seemed to be bustling within a maze of bicycles and cyclos.

How well I remember the first time I had to cross a busy HCMC street! It took me forever to get up the courage to just walk out into the bedlam of motorcycles, keeping faith that they would all go around me. But they did! Asia is amazing.
