Việt Nam 1965-1968

Are these Vietnamese paparazzi waiting outside a closed stamp collectors' store, or perhaps the bar next door? I don't remember ever encountering them anywhere in my time there, yet here they are—a fragment in a street scene I photographed back then. 

[The word 'paparazzi' only entered the English language with Fellini's 1960 film La Dolce Vita, according to Wikipedia.]
