I was there last year, I thought it'd be fun to rent a motorbike. Extreme sports Vietnam!

Scariest part of Vietnam traffic is actually on the 'highways' cuz the cars are going faster. Then again, the little buddha figure on every dashboard is supposed to make everything okay. :p

You know what's ironic? Just today, I got done reading your blog about your trip to Vietnam and read about you renting a motorbike there. The traffic there baffles me.

Traffic is a lot like that in Taiwan too. I actually see more accidents just traveling around Los Angeles than I did when I stayed in Taiwan.

Whoa. Only place I've ever seen traffic that, weird, is Amman. Over there, a 3 lane highway will very easily become a 4 or 5 lane highway when drivers start to get pissy :Q

reminds me of old pictures from big intersections in big cities in the 1700-1800s. Minus the cars, mopeds, and asians.
