In terms of transportation, like in other areas, the sense of need brings the Vietnamese to develop limitless ingenuity. It provokes amazement among the tourists as well as a lot of accidents on the roads. Bicycles, cyclos, motorcycles and other non identified objects made of different assembled objects are for most inhabitants their only vehicle.
It is suitable for various purposes: move the entire family, the baby, the grand-mother? Bring the stock to the market, help the neighbors to move to another house? Big objects or large quantities, each batch is impressive? These incredible loads are directly or indirectly a source of accidents, more or less serious?
Traffic is a jungle, I had to learn it quickly, me, an experienced Parisian motorcycle rider. I had to re-code everything, I mean the Vietnamese road code? Be cool in any situation, driving voluptuously, the eyes permanently ranging over a 180? angle, the neck always ready to pivot. To do a U turn, never cross the road but go in the opposite direction: Traffic will open like a spring flower to let you go through.
