I can't go on with this blog without comparing my experiences in Vietnam with those in the Philippines. I know, I know - I am not even there yet. But part of my preparation is about researching what life is like there.
In doing some research, I came across the Jeepney. An odd jeep/truck contraption that serves as an informal mode of public transportation.
Whereas in Hanoi I would have to negotiate price with a motorbike taxi - a xe ôm, I guess the equivalent would be hopping onto a Jeepney. So instead of awkwardly trying to keep a safe distance between me and my (often) drunk xe ôm driver, I will have to awkwardly sit next to other passengers, and wonder if my change from the ride will ever make it back to me.
Check out this Youtube video about how to use a Jeepney:
