Because cars are so expensive, the normal mode of transport in Vietnam - especially the northern end of the country - is the motorbike or scooter. It is used for the commute, the school run and the family vehicle with often three, four or even five riding the same bike. Unfortunatrely, I missed getting a shot of five on a bike.
It is also used for business. Produce is carried to market, shopping and stocking the many street shops and large deliveries are made using the bike. We even saw a large pig being delivered on the back of a scooter (but I missed getting a good shot) and our guide assured us he once saw a water buffalo being carried on one. It wouldn't surprise me!
Below are a section of the photos I took while watching the traffic. This section was the result of, at most 60 minutes, observation over the two weeks spent in Vietnam
