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.

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.
