They aren't all tiny, so unless it's my height. . . I do agree it could be the way I sit, and the fact that there aren't four people on the bike!Melrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01163969930631812659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164073633121544188.post-16354094786730014512011-06-06T18:17:23.789-07:002011-06-06T18:17:23.789-07:00All the same in VN too.

In Vietnam they wear them right up their arms... like audrey hepburn.<br /><br />The 'push the bike' is the same as a tow. The first guy has broken down or has engine issues and is getting a 'push tow' from the guy behind. Normally the get a few rupiah for helping.<br /><br />As for the "bule on the bike" it's most likely your size and the way you sit. I had my own bike in VN and the cops would spot me a mile away. But then... I am three times bigger than the average Vietnamese male. :)Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596981243975255409noreply@blogger.com
