Regarding the weekend's topic : Favourite Transport, it's very fantastic and fun for me to share about the most popular vehicle in my country: MOTORBIKE
The traffic at a roundabout in HCM at rush hour when I was having dinner at a fast-food store.
In Vietnam, more than 90% of the population uses a motorbike, that's why when it comes to vehicles- we are told "if you don't own a motorbike, you are not a Vietnamese". (There are 7 members in my family but we have 8 motorbikes 😃). Motorbikes are present in all corners of the country, from urban areas to rural areas, from mountainous regions to regions, in the busiest cities to remote villages. The motorcycle's presence is so widespread that it is hard to deny it if it is a cultural trait.
Motorbikes are considered a specialty in Vietnam and accidentally form advantages or disadvantages. Because it is too compact and easy to maneuver, the user can run to the side and go if it is stuck in traffic. Or go in the opposite direction to facilitate crossing. Personal indiscipline is formed from there. Because motorcycles are easy to stop, when they suddenly see a row of cakes or a café, people can suddenly stop and buy. This disregard for the safety of other people only thinks of their convenience if riding a bus or tram will not have the opportunity to show.
The arbitrary cessation of motorbikes left the little stalls on the roadside, contributing to the chaos of the sidewalk that the government could not manage. In a civilized city, office workers like to wear office dresses or elegant suits and a variety of fashion styles that show the aesthetic of the indigenous population. In Vietnam, when going to the street, women have to wrap themselves around with sunscreen coats, gloves, and socks to protect themselves from the sun; the boys are sweating in the 40-degree sun, everyone has only a quick way to get there. They need it; there's no time to think about fashion, street art probably won't have a chance to act.
Do you see the white tiny line on the right of the picture? It's the Ha Giang Loop~~ one of the most dangerous roads in Viet Nam. It was amazing to drive here by motorbike if you are an adventurous soul 😃
However, the motorbike is my favorite transport here in Viet name for many reasons. It's very convenient; you can go through narrow roads, stop anywhere, and go anywhere. One of the main advantages is that motorcycles are cheaper than cars, and gasoline prices for motorbikes are also lower. Young people who are just starting to work without a lot of money can afford to buy motorbikes. Even people sitting in school can buy a car with help from parents or money from a part-time job.
What a feeling !!! when you drive all the way up and enjoy the spectacular scenery 😃. Totally worth it
If you plan to make a road trip through the whole of Viet Nam, the motorbike is highly recommended to explore the country and ís bést suited for driving narrow winding and uphill roads. It would be fun and great to experience at least once in one's life. Give it a go, and I'm sure you will love it. It is also a great way to improve your driving skills. Once you can maneuver the crazy and hectic traffic here, you can drive anywhere in the world. 😃
