I'm just back from a trip to Vietnam, an amazing place! In terms of transportation this place is truly astonishing. Motorbikes are the most common mode of transport, with families of five frequently travelling on the one bike. The motorbike is also one of the key cogs for trade in Vietnam and is used to transport any number of items, as you can see from this photo of this chap transporting his baby water buffalo, which was alive!
The Vietnamese are masters of the motorbike and really push it to the limits of what it can do. With the growing traffic congestion in Irish cities, perhaps we can take a few lessons from our friends in the East...
