The Vietnam Motorbike Diaries and People


Motorbikes are a big part of this culture as most families own at least one if not two or three.  The streets are jam packed with them zooming past you all the time.  If you dont watch out, you may just get hit by one!!!!

This society somehow functions on the organized chaos of motorbikes and cars, with different beeps to let people know when to pass or to get out of the way.  This organized chaos works perfectly as people are extremely polite to one another (unlike Cairo where they are malicious).

I even got to ride one a little which I saw just how easy it was (in somewhat of a controlled open road).  Organized Chaos does work here, but if you insert this in many other cultures it would turn into just plain chaos far being removed form organized!!!!

I loved the people here, as they were friendly, hardworking, polite and always there when you needed them.  There were so many different types of faces and people doing work that i ran across that it was hard to choose.  But here are some of the best pictures that I took.  Notice the hard working nature and/or happy faces.  They know how to balance out everything here!!!!
