One thing that strikes most visitors to this prospering city in Southern Vietnam is its modes of transportation. If you walk in the city, you have to be careful that you are not knocked down by a motorcycle. However, the swarm of motocyclists seem to have the highest order out of the disorders on the streets! Over the five days, not a single accident was sighted.
You would see ladies on scooters going to work, well dressed as well as well proected!
Rain? There is no problem at all. All kinds of raincoats are being used. You can see skirt-wearing pillion riders sitting sideway which is illegal in other places!
I went for a round-the-city trip on a motorcycle. The driver-on-hire has a management degree and used to work with a Japanese company.
There are more funs on the motorbike than on the tour bus, you can bet!

I too have the same feeling when I first stepped foot to Hanoi way back in 2002. The first sight that came to my mine was PETRONAS signboard in the airport, then comes the stream flow of motorbike, and not to forget to mention the loud and sharp" machine honning orchesta ". A sight that I cannot forget for a long time. I even shared this experience with mny family when I took them for a tour to Saigon (HCM ) in 2003.
