It's a great photo, Fly. Very refreshing!

And I'm glad you were able to upload the photo now. We cannot afford to miss your photo travels!

This is interesting to see these stats. I would think Vietnam would be #1 here.

haha I think Vietnam and PH should be tied to #1, Fly. For real, the motorbike is our number 1 to go for basically for anything lol. I owned one before and gave it to my sister.

I will post some pictures. I’ve been and traveled all over the Ph. It can’t compare to here as far as motorbikes. It’s unreal here. I have driven to Saigon and back twice. It’s an amazing experience!

I’m going to try my best to get a picture of the situation in Mong La when I have to surrender my passport to militias. You will die laughing but also very scary in what I deal with.

Deep into Northern Vietnam it looks like something out of a movie. There are some amazing places. This is one of my favorite and not far from me. As you go deeper into the north, it is even better. Plus the markets at the border are amazing too. Check this site out.

Lets talk traffic or as we say here "organized chaos" People texting and driving , holding babies with one hand, there are accidents daily, I have been in some, know people that have been seriously hurt and killed. Traffic is a nightmare here. They are the worst drivers I have ever experiences. Turning , switching lanes without looking, it is truly a sight to see and experience.
