Motorcycles and statues

Motorcycles....there are millions of them in the cities in Vietnam. They are everywhere at any time of the day. Carrying sometimes 3, 4 or more people. Carrying kids picked up from school. Carrying the most amazing packages (and in rural areas also animals). An amazing sight for us foreigners...
After arriving in Ho Chi Minh City this afternoon, we invited a number of our agencies for a dinner. It was very nice to meet some of our partners in active student recruitment in this city. The company was good and the food was delicious.
During the walk back to our hotel we enjoyed the lively scenes of the many people out on the streets (of course in the pleasantly warm evening temperatures here). The statue of Ho Chi Minh keeps an eye on these new generations of his country (Vietnam has a very young population). The center of the city has some beautifully restored old buildings from the colonial periods.
