In New Orleans East, there is an enclosed parking lot surrounded by apartments in "Little Viet Nam" where there is a great open market at 6:00 a.m. Saturday mornings. Live ducks and geese, dried fish, whole catfish, and a bunch of stuff I couldn't identify. And lots of people with traditional Vietnamese garb. Not a word of English to be heard. Trouble is, none want their picture taken. I would rather take a picture of an American and have him curse me than take one of a visitor to the country and offend them in some unknown way. I'm going to try to return with a Vietnamese interpretor sometime in the future. Part of the problem is no doubt that food is being sold from an asphalt parking lot.
