3/28 Secret Rooftop

Observation of the last few days - in the markets the young women usually just take a nap in their stall which is, at most, 4' wide and 4' deep.  Mind you there is always someone to sell you something and always at a cheaper price ... just for you.  Meet up with two future classmates in the evening for a few beers.  We around Bui Vien in the Backpacker district.  Found a decent restaurant.  Climbed up the dark stairs through what seemed to be a living room, then another area of the restaurant and still up another dark set of stairs to a quiet vacant rooftop.  They turned on the Chinese lanterns and gave us our very own waiter.  The conversation was easy, the beers were numerous, and the secret views into apartments were straight out of a Hitchcock movie only in Saigon;).
