Over the past couple of years we have become lovers of walks. Sometimes those walks start our day and sometimes the walks are those involving "walktails" as a nice way to wrap up a day. Moving to Saigon we were unsure if we would be able to continue our habit of walking.
Initially this seemingly simple activity proved pretty much impossible. Walking in this city can be a daunting task. There are about four ba-jillion things going on at one time. One minute you are walking and the next thing you know you are dodging a motorbike, stopping as a lady is emptying a bowl of soup right in front of your, or finding yourself walking in the middle of the street as the sidewalk is now a parking lot/freeway/badminton court. In the midst of this walking adversity, we have persevered. We are now mall walkers.
There is a mall about two blocks from our house. While we do not shop there, we have used the wide sidewalks to reinstate our walks. This town won't know what to do with us when we bring the G&T's with us on our walk next time.
