These are in no order just random thoughts that popped into my head this morning, the fact that my mind wandered is a little scary - but everything that is going on in my head of a morning is related to just getting to work so I think that is OK.
- Give way to anything that is bigger then you.
- Does beeping your horn as you drive through an intersection actually stop you being hit.?
- Don't look at the man who is walking along the road you will certainly hit him, though screaming at him tells him to move.
- Always look straight ahead otherwise you will scare yourself when you see all those bikes moving toward you.
- Vietnamese should all be meteorologists - they seem to know when the rain is coming, they either pull over and put raincoats on or like today drive really fast to get home before it rains.
- Beeping is not agressive it just means "hey I am here".
- Did the man singing beside me today realise that I could hear him?
- Xe om (motor bike taxi) drivers can be really sweet. (Thanks you Mr Huong's friend for stopping traffic for me outside school today - he was my very own Lollypop lady)
- Carrying buckets (note the reference to multiple buckets) that have pigs feet poking out the top is really really distracting when you are following it.
- Traffic on a Monday is always busier then any other day.
- Sticking your elbows out perpendicular to your body and gripping the handle bars is equivalent to wearing an L plate, everyone knows to avoid you.
- Driving down a street the wrong way is ok.
- Driving on the foot path is also ok.
- Sometimes traffic lights mean you stop at them at othertimes they are just a suggestion.
- Are newbie motor bike riders in Saigon braver in the morning? (I actually think this is just me).
- Helmet hair is worse then hat hair! - Doesn't matter how nice your hair looks in the morning by the time you get to school it looks like you stuck your hand in an electric socket.
