Vietnam is filled with motorbikes. Google the term “motorbikes everywhere” and your computer screen will be filled with images and articles about Vietnam. Watching the constant flow of motorbikes on the streets was eye opening for us. We saw motorbikes carrying families of four, ducks, pigs, small trees, huge bouquets of flowers, giant bags of trash…the list is endless.
Vietnam on Motorbike
This was not an unusual scene…the streets saturated with motorbikes.
When the streets were filled, motorbikes would use the sidewalks.
And yes, sometimes we had to wait to cross the sidewalk.
Crossing the streets was an adventure.

Kumquat tree for Tet.

This photo was taken as we drove into Hue.
Things get much quieter in the days immediately after Tet.
And yes, there is even motorbike graffiti in Vietnam.
