Wonder-bikes
We went downtown today, and i sat in front of the van for the first time. I think there where chest pains once in a while. It was like a roller coaster man. The driver..he's the MAN..I'm gonna drive liddat man..haha i think if he drives in Singapore, the traffic police also give up on him.
I think over here in Vietnam, the HORN serves another purpose. Its not to warn people of dangers, as driving theory book says; its not for drivers to scold others, as Singaporeans usually do.
It's a GREETING.
Almost every single bike that's in front of us will get this wonderful greeting. And it's given in generous amounts. But it's a one way greeting for some reason. Once in a while though, these huge trucks will give a bigger one; those that horn-already-fly-backwards-ah. I think they seriously ZHNG-ED their horns man.
Than there are those who fully utilise their bike in ways u can't imagine. No idea how they balance. They are PROS man. Seriously. Some will have entire families on it. Some have their MAMA shop on it. Some have mountains of barang on it, till it covers even their faces. Its like a windscreen you know, just that it ain't transparent. I wonder how they see. Some have sort of super long poles of metal or sugar cane thingy on it. HA i think everytime they turn they have to check blindspot 10 times, if not those things would just whack quite a few heads in one turn.
And today, one of these long-pole guys dashed across this small junction. This caused the bike in front of us to jam brake. Unfortunately, our van must have suffered quite a bit and wasn't so responsive. And we couldn't stop on time. And we managed to give a nice little KISS to the backside of the bike in front. HAHA. That guy got a nice little shock man. But i think its normal for them la.
Need your prayers for the killer roads here! God's faithful so far, and will always be. Weekends are here, and we'll most prob go out. I'll see if i can take pics of these wonder-bikes, and it'll open you to a whole new world of what a motorcycle can do. Maybe i exaggerated abit lar, but..they still rock man i tell ya.
I hope youth alpha went well, and hope to hear from anyone soon! Pray that some will be saved today! Hallelujah :)
