I am now the proud owner of a pink motorbike. Yes, pink. And I have a mean-ass skull-cap black bikie helmet to go with it. Its freakin awesome! On my first day riding it (yesterday), I had 3 accidents. I knocked into another motorbike, hit into the side of a bus, and narrowly avoided slamming into an expensive looking car. And all within the space of an hour. Ain't I great...

Today was much better though, I've pretty much got the hang of it now. But at first, it was a pretty terrifying experience. The traffic looks bad enough when you are walking down the street. Being in the middle of it is something else. But it only takes about a day to learn how Saigon traffice works. Luckily I'm not trying to learn how the motorbike works at the same time. I learnt that in Mui Ne, which was a blast.
