The helmet law went into effect on Dec. 15th and so far, everybody seems to be complying. It's truly odd to see a sea of helmeted heads on the streets of Saigon. (On another hygiene-related note, I wouldn't want to stick my head in some of the helmets that the xe om drivers are now supplying their customers.) I'll check out your blog, Doug. Thanks for writing...! Feeling better, thanks everyone (although the hacking cough still turns up from time to time.)

The cough, runny nose and over all crappy thing has come over me at least once on every trip. A present I've been back in the US for a little over three months and I still have a little left overs from the last seige. Anyway, I feel for you, its hard to deal with, especially when every Vietnamese you run into wants to help. I'm interested in the helmet law, did it go into effect and is it being enforced?

I’m interested in the helmet law, did it go into effect and is it being enforced?

Just please promise me that you won't subject them to that execrable "Catcher in the Rye": the people of Vietnam have already suffered enough at the hands of well-meaning Americans. I'd love it if you could persuade your charges to walk about the halls, absent-mindedly muttering: "I should have been a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the floors of silent seas..."
