The Law of the Jungle

It can be a bit of a jungle out there on the roads but I think I have figured out 3 cardinal rules for sharing the roads here in Vietnam;
1. Courtesy by the tonnage. By using the law of momentum you can increase your tonnage by increasing your speed. However, if you choose to use this law in order to gain right of way, it will hurt allot more when you fall off!
2. Know your 'jungle cry'. Every class of vehicle has a different jungle cry on these roads. The appropriate cry for a bicycle is a Bell. Initially I tried a squeeky turtle... unfortunately this cry is reserved for rubbish collectors... doh!
3. Live and let live. Everyone has their place on the road and you've got to share. 

We're in Qui Nhon tonight after a slightly easier day... still hot... still a little burnt... still lovin' it!
