Evening down the Cresent

In a year or so I may have the dilemma of whether to move to District Two or stay in Phu My Hung and make my daughter (and myself) commute for school purposes. I really, really don't want to leave PMH. The thought of having no where 'outside' and green to walk around on our doorstep is depressing.

Sunday night down at the Crescent is silly season - so many people descend on it, and a lot of people who look like 'tourists' to the area. I can tell because they still stare unabashedly at us, a mixed couple with a little girl in tow. I have to stick my hand in front of cameras as they try to take pictures of my daughter. When she was smaller I didn't mind, but now its a no no. Just waiting for the 'Daddy, why are they taking pictures of me?'.... The place is really coming to life and most of the restaurants were jam packed. Pick a time when its not so busy, like a weekday before sunset, its really the best place in Saigon for a long stroll, people watching, and grabbing a bite to eat.
