Getting Around in Saigon
For the uninitiated, the chaos of Saigon's streets can be intimidating to the point of paralysis. The first time I had to cross the road, I stood still on the curb for minutes, with my hands held in front of me like a mime hitting a glass wall. I'm not even sure I blinked. My mind was stuck in a panicked loop of "Now! No... now! No... now! No..." but my body (instinctively wiser) refused to obey its orders.
