Hi tuanthaolove05,

Thanks for the photos of HCM city life. One thing that caught my eye is the fence dividing the two side of the street. That is something we don't have to deal with here. Road that are divided are normally high speed freeways with limited access - meaning bicycles are not allowed, and motorcycles and other vehicles must be capable of cruising at a minimum speed. Urban streets are normally divided with a simple painted line, or are designated as one-way streets. Sometimes a street may be divided by a strip of greenery, but a dividing fence on an urban street ... that is outside of my experience.

My children don't ride on their own yet - but I can appreciate how in must make you nervous when they ride out of your sight. I am both looking forward to seeing them ride, and dreading the dangers they will face that I won't be able to mitigate for them.

I would be interested to see any photos of your weekend country side outings. I understand Vietnam can be very beautiful.

Peace to you and yours.
