    • This is something that would go un-noticed by the locals and possibly many asians in general, but to anyone european, it is something totally unusual.

    Many of the women over there wear above elbow length gloves when riding a bike (motorised or push). The come in many hues, but all long virtually covering the upper arm totally.

    For most europeans this is something you would only see on the society ballroom floor of yesteryear, but I guess its something to do with protection from the sun.

    It is just something that caught my eye in a big way.

     Yes...I remember reading your War Remnants Museum tip. I went there too but even after your tip i wasn't prepared for how graphic the displays were. I had to force myself to look at them. Awful...but necessary to see I think. T.    		Nemorino Thu May 17, 2007 22:45 UTC
     Yes, my son got hassled for taking a photo of a bridge when we were in Vietnam in 1995. But otherwise we were given a very friendly welcome everywhere, even though I had been an enemy soldier in the 1960s.

     I loved HCM! Perhaps it was the culture shock...something different....crazy bike drivers, dunno! But I think the people are lovely. The airport sounds like something else...we cruised in ;o) Enjoyed your write up matey :o)    		Tattugran Wed Aug 2, 2006 09:17 UTC
