SANS SOUCI

Hanoi 2016.

Parked on the emergency lane of the highway or got off their Honda in the city, they urinate on a tree, a post or against a wall. Bus drivers hide behind their vehicle and cyclo drivers often have a plastic bottle that they then empty into the drains. As for pedestrians, they will just cross the street to the opposite sidewalk. Some smoke or talk on the phone at the same time, regardless. Others gaze, daydream... When realizing my presence before they finish, they reprimand then quickly turn their heads, what else could they do? Witnesses of the scene throw me amused winks. And life goes on.
