Rush Hour in Da Nang

We are all trying to out-do each other in recording the controlled chaos that is Da Nang rush hour. So far Sven has the best
video but I am trying to get pictures/video of the kids who ride double (both pedalling) and how they have to jump on/off when traffic stops so that they don't topple over. The families (mother, father, kids & babies) manage to all stay astride their motor-scooters during this chaos.




To give you an idea of the traffic that does empty out on to the streets, this is a picture of some (not all) of the bikes outside Dong A College where Robyn and I have been working several days this week.










This is one of my videos - check out all of the things that people are carrying on their bikes - like the 13 boxes of things. I have to try and get a picture of someone carrying a mattress on the back of their bike as we saw last night when it wasn't raining (did I mention that it is now rainy season in Vietnam?)
