“As I sat on the back of his bike, Anh Bao pointed out local sex workers he recognized as they walked out of a bar with their arms wrapped around Viet Kieu men. He had gotten to know these women when he parked his bike outside the bar around closing time to offer cheap rides home to the women who had been unable to secure a client for the evening. Over the course of nearly three hours spent cycling the city, I took everything in—making mental notes of things I would later enter into my research. Anh Bao was a storyteller; and as we stopped outside each place, I propped on his bike laughing as he made up dramatic scenarios about the kinds of love affairs that occurred in each segment of the sex industry.”

“Recognition

You are in front of your home, about to enter, when someone calls your name. You turn around and see a complete stranger hurriedly walking towards you.

“I’ve been waiting for you, where have you been?”

Seeing your exasperated expression, she adds, “We were supposed to meet, did you forget again?!”

“You have the wrong person,” you reply, adding, “I have never seen you in my life.”

“Please tell me you are joking,” she says in, what looks like, genuine disbelief.

You have no issues with forgetfulness, or memory, in general, but she seems absolutely certain. She goes on an on, providing details about your previous meetings and talks. She knows more about you than a stranger would, but she could have found these things out elsewhere. She says you never exchanged phone numbers, but instead always agreed where and when you would meet next time.

She doesn’t want anything in particular, except your acknowledgment and that you stick to the agreed upon meeting for that day.

How do you behave?
What do you do?”
