New meaning to the term "checkmate"
Perhaps it is a sign of the times, but heading to my local ATM recently to withdraw a few hundred thousand dong, I came across these two avid chessmen engaged in a game of “co,” which was apparently in such need of being played that those of us in need of cash needed to wait a bit. “Co” is chinese chess (not checkers), and I have no idea how to play it. But such is life in Saigon: rapid modernization surrounded by…chess (?).
