Poor Bike

Just saw this while walking around on the street... pretty much everything not locked or screwed into place, was stripped off. I would be pretty bummed if I came back to this (one of the reasons that I lock my seat and tires in addition to the frame).

Motorbike life in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Vietnam is a very interesting place... great food, interesting culture, warm climate, an massive amounts of motorbikes. It's difficult to describe the motorbike scene there... something you need to see in person to fully comprehend. Not many Vietnamese people own cars or trucks. Therefore, if you need to transport something, you throw it onto your bike. I saw people transporting everything from mirrors to propane tanks to families of 4 to groceries to chickens to giant tires (as shown above). The drivers of the motorbikes definitely have mad skills.

Chillin' with a side of illin'... fruit vendor on the streets of Vietnam. It's difficult to be highly energetic all day when it's 90+ degrees out. Every now and again you need to take some breaks. I kind of wanted to buy some of the fruit in that basket, but didn't want to interrupt this woman during her afternoon siesta.
