SAIGON, VIETNAM 🇻🇳: GOLD

Khăn rằn. The black and white checkered scarf. Originally worn by Mekong Delta farmers against sun and dust. Became the symbol of the southern resistance when Viet Cong guerrillas wore it as headwrap, face covering, and makeshift bag. During the war, wearing one was enough to get you questioned by soldiers. After 1975 it became a patriotic symbol. 🇻🇳

you learn to lock your bag pockets and secure your bag to something sturdy when you travel off the beaten path. when i’m having a coffee and reading, it’s nice to know my bag is going to be difficult to snag…
