Xe Om My God!

Coming home tonight the xe om driver suddenly screeched to a halt in the middle of a four lane bridge. Parking the bike side on to the traffic, he got off and ran back into the traffic to retrieve somebody's lost wallet, leaving me sitting there in the midst of all this traffic, waiting to get hit!

Did you split the contents of the wallet? Or was he genuinely doing a good if somewhat foolhardy deed?

Apparently he was genuinely doing a good deed (though to be fair there wasn't much in there to split - just a few very tatty, crumpled 500 and 1000 dong notes).

He even seemed genuinely distressed that neither he nor I knew the person whose ID was inside it!
