Da Man with da sandwich stand

Here's our local mobile sandwich stand. OK, all sandwich stands are mobile in Saigon, but this guy has one on his motorbike. Two words: That's awesome. Another two words: That's lunch today.

Moto lesson #2: How to Text and drive at the same time

So, your running low on credit? Just text 'em. Who cares if you're riding a motorbike? Not the passenger. She's your eyes, after all. What do you do if you're alone? No one to back you up? No vision? Who needs it? If you've got the guts to ride a motorbike in Saigon, you've got to believe you're invincible. And if you're invincible, you can ride while texting. Simple as 1, 2, SMACK, DANG I'M DEAD.

Moto lesson #1: How to drive and talk on the phone at the same time

Take note how little effort is needed to drive a motorcycle and talk on the phone at the same time. One hand? No problem. One foot? No problem. One accident waiting to happen? Try 1 million. For every person driving while celling, there are two texting. See next entry. But who can complain. We all do it, and we know it.

Xe Om (motorcycle taxi) on break

It's ok to wake these guys up for a ride. But I personally prefer

Sidewalk Street

Sidewalks aren't really meant for walking on here. They're access
roads, or perhaps more akin to feeders, most commonly used when
construction makes roads too narrow and when traffic just bites. One
benefit to driving on sidewalks is that food is more accessible.
Another is that it's easier to run over people, and the more people
you run off the sidewalk, the more points you accumulate. If you
accumulate enough points, you get a US passport.
