The morning breathes hot and sharp as a line of scooters parts and reforms around you — the city itself a moving current that seems to push you forward. On the back of a local rider, the pavement becomes a ribbon of neighborhoods: French facades, narrow alleys, flower stalls spilling color onto sidewalks, and the Saigon River glinting like a lazy spine through the city.
