Taken it to the streets




Who said Asians are bad drivers?! In the morning we set out to tour the city. Jane's dad and lady friend, who I love but still can't say her name, made us Vietnamese iced coffee before we left the house. It blows away any coffee I have ever tasted back home! But I digress, Once we were done they gave us our helmets they had bought for us. And so our adventure began. Scooters dominate the streets of Sai Gon. Every type of person rides a scooter. Young, old, men or women, they all ride. Tiny girls in high heals, older ladies with their little helmets, super adorable! All beeping their horns every two seconds. Lane markers mean nothing to drivers, one way streets, no matter, people are hopping up curbs to get ahead of the traffic, the streets of Sai Gon are a beautifully choreographed dance of scooters, cars, buses, and people all managing to avoid killing one another!
