Although this is shot in Ho Chi Minh City, it's almost exactly what I ride in right here every day!

The Ho Chi Minh City one reminds me of the last time I stirred up an ant hill.

Ho Chi Minh City looks a lot cleaner than I remember it back in the days when it was Saigon. Of course, I can't smell the city's air through a PC screen, but I remember a dingy city whose streets were filled with scooters, 3-wheeled Lambrettas, and smog. Cars were a rarity. I don't remember it being nearly that congested, though.

Just riding down the street from Long Binh was enough to set my teeth rattling! Night time was much more fun. Stitchawl |

I wasn't there enough to remember the names of any streets. The most time I spent there was when a friend and I were scheduled to go on a 7-day R&R in Bangkok, Thailand. We got as far as Saigon where I hooked up with a professional lady. After spending all my money, she asked if I wanted to spend more time with her. She appeared to have taken a shine to me, because when I told her I had to go back early because I had spent all my money, she invited me to go home with her for the rest of the week where she'd feed me and take care of me. Funny, I can't remember now what my friend ended up doing.

To avoid taking a bath, dog plays dead... (my dog isn't nearly half as smart as this dog!)

Dolly Parton singing "Jolene" slowed down from 45 rpm to 33 rpm.
