Things on Motorbikes: Vietnam Edition

There are 15M people in Saigon, and 18M motorbikes. It appears to be the primary mode of transportation for humans and all of their belongings. 

Scooters flow through the city streets like water in a river - if you try to wait for them to pass, you'll never cross . The key is to avoid the buses and trucks, then walk confidently at a consistent pace and let the motorbikes figure it out themselves. #trust

Here are several examples of things I snapped while they scooted by:

Several dozen chicken coops:




Baskets and baskets of ducks:




An entire family:




Me!



Scarier than taking a cab, less scary than crossing the street. A great way to see the city!
