Blogroll - Xe Om, Cyclo
Xe-Om, Cyclo, Etc: written by AMadBrownWoman, who's tongue-in-cheek avatar stands in for a Filipina woman living in HCMC aka Saigon. A sample post is this one, reflecting on her clothes shopping experience and the exasperation felt by many expats, and more acutely by women, of being called "mập" by the locals.

Haha, although I am a Vietnamese-Filipino-American and by most standards "small", those standards are not the same in Hanoi. I can't count the number of times a co-worker has pinched my cheek or frankly told me that I've been gaining weight and am fatter in the (insert area of body here). Just like being at home!
