In Ho Chi Minh City (previously known as Saigon) and the Mekong Delta, transportation is most commonly done on 2 or 3 wheels. People carry amazing things on their bikes and scooters.
We had a wonderful (although too short) visit in 2003, and are working on a return trip. We only visited in the southern delta region and would like to go north. -- Naomi
How right you are Naomi. I do believe my personal favorite was in 69 when I happen to see so many locals crammed into the back of a 3-wheel Lambretta that it caused the front end to rear up and the driver was unable to steer. Nice and clean shots. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
Yes, I think you've got it pretty close, although I think (hope) that the "bomb" is a tank for some kind of gas . . . perhaps for welding. I would think it could have the potential of becoming a bomb. Thanks, Antonia, for your comments. -- Naomi
