Hard Hat – Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
While on a cyclo ride in HCMC, I encountered this guy hanging out of a little motorized tuk tuk in HCMC. I found his choice of helmet funny – a throw back from the war. Granted, sometimes I felt like driving in Saigon was similar to going into combat!

Love the close up & the inconguity of the helmet
My favourite hat from Vietnam are still the conical straw hats that are seen so much. That says “Vietnam” to me. Lovely candid photo.
Very true Mark – the conical hat rules! I have lot of photos of them too!
just walking across the street in Saigon is like combat! nice photo. I like the subtle colour.
So very, very true! You need a helmet to cross the street!
