It was a very eventful weekend.  I bought a motorbike and I have named him Oscar.  He is a Honda Blade, 110cc, semi manual 4 speed beast!  Oscar is very light and apparently is one of the most reliable motorbikes around.  Costs me $3 AUD to fill the petrol tank.

I did about 60 kms on Saturday after I bought Oscar, part of that was because I got lost and ended up in the countryside.  Not sure how I did that when there are 12 million people living in Ho Chi Minh City.

The traffic is pretty hectic however it is only going about 20 to 30 km/hr.  The trick is to just worry about what is happening in front of you.  You can even drive on the other side of the road.  I haven’t tried that yet.

I have riding gloves and a face mask, so I am fitting right in.  You will have to wait for a future installment to see them.
