During our time in Vietnam, we have come to appreciate the many forms and functions served by the sidewalk in its role as the ultimate "public space".
When we walk the streets in Vietnam we were reminded of an elementary joke, I am sure we have all told at one early point in our lives.
Q. "When is a door not a door?"
A. "When it is aJAR."
Applying this same rudimentary logic, when in Vietnam you often ask yourself.
Q. "When is a sidewalk, not a sidewalk?"
A. "When it is the following:"
A parking lot:
A billboard:
A kitchen:
A storage facility:
A dining room:
An antiques store:
A barber shop:
A fire pit:
A dishwasher:
A shoe store:
A chicken coop:
A butcher shop:
An aquarium (still alive and for sale):
A fishmonger:
A gym:
A coffee shop:
A street:
A bingo hall:
And finally a toilet:
Please note it is not a place to walk.
