Desperate Measures

It seems that when this road and intersection were being designed in the relatively new area of Phu My Hung, the planners made a kind of half hearted attempt to control the traffic. In fact, it's so pointless that it is kind of pathetic, like they knew they were doomed from the beginning. I'm talking about this run of signs all within 50 yards of one another.

Hello....anyone.....? Errr, there's a sharp right ahead, can you see it?


Hi! It's me again.....one more, is that OK? There is also an intersection ahead. Sorry to bother you.

Ok ok, this is the last one, I promise. There are also some traffic lights. Sorry.

Finally, don't honk.


YEAH MATE! IN YOUR DREAMS!

I'm looking for some help…

We're starting a podcast for/by people who have immigrated to another country. We'd like to bring stories/articles by contributors FROM every continent, TO every continent. (i.e., a Mexican living in Canada, or a Scot living in France, a Dane living in Japan, an Ecuadorian living in Brazil, an Australian living in Africa, etcetera, etcetera.)

The "immigrant" category is rather large, examples include: expatriates, academics, aid workers, refugees, foreign businesspeople, spouses of "foreigners" etc.

I've written to quite a few organizations searching for good contributors; journalism schools, international corporations, non-profit aid organizations, etc. I've had a lot of interest, but not a lot of actual work submitted.

I was hoping to find help here in the blogosphere, as you all are prolific writers!

Please help! I need people to contribute articles (2-3 pages), 3 times per year. You may of course choose the topic, it may be light or heavy. Please see the guidelines set out in our website in the "contribute here" section.
