- Breakfast
Eating breakfast in Hoi An meant sharing whatever you dropped with the rats. - Seafood Restaurant
Pick what you want, and they cook it up for you. - Grapefruit
The vietnamese grapefruit is enormous. The rind and even the membranes around the lobes are very tough and both are generally removed with a knife. It's a lot of work to eat a grapefruit. - Linemen
This is how they work on the overhead wires in Saigon. What could possibly go wrong? - Engrish
I think I get the gist of it. - Engrish
Your guess is as good as mine. Actually, I was told it means 'We can service any need you may have'. - Trip to Home Depot
Yes, you can put ANYTHING on a motorbike - Chicken Transport
Pretty self explanatory here. I also the same configuration used for transporting dogs in northern vietnam. I'm pretty sure the dogs had the same fate as the chikens. - Train Toilet
This was the toilet on one of the trains. - Meat Market
A literal meat market in sapa - Motorbike and Poncho
There are two things ubiquitous in Vietnam: Motorbikes and Rain. There are something like 4 million motorbikes in Saigon, alone, outnumbering cars by a factor of 9 to 1. Many of the ponchos (like this one) are made with a clear panel in the front so that when you drape it over the front of the motorbike, it doesn't obstruct the headlight. There are even two-man ponchos with to heads built into it for two riders on a motorbike. - Street Food
Ate here one night. In the upper left is bamboo tubes. Rice and water are put in the tubes and then heated to cook the rice. You then break open the tubes to get at the rice. Middle right shows some bacon wrapped mushrooms that were freakin' delicious. The pork skewers to the right of the rice were amazing as well. - Google Hotel
For the life of me, I can't remember how I found this hotel. Note the price of a Heineken. That's $1 USD. - Vietnamese Gas Station
Many people sell gasoline in the streets in whatever container they have handy. - Vietnamese Minivan
For all you people that think you need a 'Large Family Vehicle' when you have kids, I submit to you this family of 4 on a motorbike.
