Preparing Papayas in Hoi An

by Melissa Wiggins

A street vendor in Hoi An’s ancient town tends to a stainless steel cart under the harsh glare of late morning sun, the glossy enamel surfaces of stacked bowls reflecting the bright sky. Beside him, a woven mat is rolled up on the sidewalk, its texture against the smooth, polished concrete of the pedestrian lane. A basket tray holds ripe papayas, their yellow skins vibrant against the muted gray of the surrounding colonial facades. The vendor’s hands move quickly, using a fruit knife to slice fruit for a waiting customer, while a wooden stool sits empty nearby, its surface darkened by years of use.
