Ha Noi: What does it take to be a security gaurd?

Security being security

Security being security

The same as in Australia...if you can read and write, you would probably be over-qualified. Only when you can generally stand upright; wear ill-fitting clothes; and look as if somehow life dealt you a hand of apocalyptic proportions, will you get an instant pass to the front line.  It is the general perception in Vietnam that street security have the right to hassle young women, wolf whistle at tourists, and sit around sunbathing with absolute indemnity.  There seems to be no boundaries with disregarding what there actual jobs entail: which is keeping things secure.  In their free time, which seems to be all day, they love nothing more than pointing tourists in the wrong direction, using their sandals as frizbees, and drinking ice-coffees in the shade of their over-sized hats.

Ok, this isn't entirely true.  It probably is in Australia though.
