First Sights

[Tim]
It was my one-month anniversary today.  One month ago we first set foot in Da Nang.  In all that time, I've never seen dog for sale (plenty of neighborhood dogs and puppies as pets, but never--until today--for eating).  You know the end-credits thing you see on movies about "no animals were harmed in the making of this movie"?  This does NOT apply to the video below, sadly:





And it was my first time to see the aftermath of a truck and motorcycle unhappily colliding.





I stayed with the camera on because there are so many things to see in this video:

  • Mummy ladies covered headtofoot to avoid the sunshine.
  • Tow-behind carts pulled by motorcycles.
  • Motorbike balloon seller.
  • Massive trucks going north and south from the industrial park just north of us.
  • Family of four on one motorbike.
  • Horns used as a driving tool.
  • Delivery motorbikes with a metal box strapped to the back.
  • Policeman standing mid-traffic, and the traffic opening around him.
  • No traffic lines.
  • Very few pedestrians or bicycles.  Ever.
