...Minh City [Dec. 17]. My entire time there centered on trying to figure out ways to cross the streets with few regulated crosswalks and with often-ignored traffic lights. On more than one occasion, I tried to get up the nerve to step out into the oncoming sea of scooters; a kind Vietnamese would take my hand and lead me across, and on the other side, we both would laugh, knowing that for a foreigner, navigating the scooter-packed streets on foot was a major challenge. But I must say it added to my beautiful experience visiting such an amazing...
