About That Traffic



Wow. It's almost July, and I have totally fallen behind on even getting pictures up from Vietnam.

But in lieu of those pictures (which I swear actually do exist), here is short clip of what it was like to ride on the back of a motorbike in Ho Chi Minh City. During rush hour traffic. In the most populated city in Vietnam.

It's a bit wild. (Notice the guy who makes an appearance on the far right hand side of the screen at about the 00:06 mark; I'll make a comment about him later).

I managed to take almost every mode of transportation possible during my trip (bus, train, plane, automobile, boat and motorbike). This was the most entertaining by far, though it does start to get uncomfortable over long distances. If you're ever in Ho Chi Minh City, you really must try it.

Let It Be Known

Vietnam 2010 497

I promise never to complain about traffic in Los Angeles again.

I also promise that I'm going to be back soon with lots of pictures from my trip to Vietnam.

Where I Am

6-1-10 179

Greetings and salutations from Vietnam! I have been busy traveling about this amazing country, and I will definitely be posting pictures and share my adventures once I return.

This morning I went snorkeling off the coast of Nha Trang, where beautiful sea life abounds. The picture above is the view from the boat off of one of the moorings.

Hope you are enjoying your travels, wherever they may take you. I'll be back soon.
