More motorcycle craziness
Sorry for the delay in posting -- had some problems getting pictures off my Blackberry. Here is one from my trip to Saigon (or the "modern" name of Ho Chi Minh City which I don't like). You haven't seen anything until you see traffic in Saigon -- it is 90% motorcycles and there are very few rules, traffic lights or systems.
They only introduced helmets at the beginning of February 2008 -- and that was only for adults, so you see children as young as 12 months being carried on bikes without helmets.
It is truly horrifying, but also fascinating!
