Hauling anything along in Saigon, Vietnam! #monomad

All of Vietnam is basically run from motorbikes, and especially perhaps in Ho Chi Minh?

On some of the main roads I didn't even see any cars, perhaps its regulated that way.

Young & old

I like this image, it works "against the flow", it pulls the eye to the right to the old guy first, then probably back to the guy with the huge load after that, it even made me a little confused editing it haha!

In the middle

All of it works very well since everyone knows how to simply follow the flow, I know this from driving a lot myself in other countries with similar traffic. Still I would hesitate getting into it here, at least before studying the unwritten rules a bit!

Going at a higher speed?

This stretch by a gas station was maybe easier to get good pans from, the speed was higher and random movements less of an interference.

I got the license plate haha!

I find my eye go to the license plate for this one, then maybe a bit back to the left, leading to some undefined focus on the load, that is why its included.

Old two stroke!

Most of the full time drivers have relatively modern, high quality motorbikes I think, while some who have it as a side activity drive basically anything.

I like seeing that two stroke!

All of that is boots?

Looks like this guy had a couple of huge bags full of boots! Should not be too heavy, so no problem...

Something stacked all over!

I guess this guy is delivering to either food stores, or more likely restaurants, with those bottles of oil hanging!

Smoking is no problem

Looks like an experienced guy & a heavy load.

No need to tamp it down!

I'm not sure if its a kid or his wife holding this! Of course it can't be heavy, but still gotta avoid it hitting anything :-)

No motorbike here!

This guy seemed totally OK pushing his food cart through the traffic, not even looking behind, knowing he's part of the flow & safe that way I think...

That's it for today!
