The Travellist's journal

Camera shy

I took my SLR out for the first time since coming back to Asia. I found a group of people playing a game called tứ sắc (which means 'four colours') in a corner of a little lane near Bùi Viện. Apparently gambling is illegal but they seemed to want me to take photos. One lady kept asking me to take the photo of her elderly friend but whenever I tried, she covered her face (and then peeked through her fingers) before pointing back in the direction of the first lady. This went on for a while!

I'll make an effort to explore Saigon with my SLR more often as there are so many interesting people. I've added an extra photo of their game.
