IN THE middle of the frenetic chaos of Ho Chi Minh City is a small park with perfectly manicured gardens.
Large bonsai trees grow in terracotta pots on the pavement whilst short cut grass frames the flower beds. Tropical jungle trees shelter the garden from the elements.
Numerous students were studying here in this area of relative tranquillity. A couple of students approached me to practice their English speaking skills, apparently a common practice here.
