In HCMC we bought the bikes, a map and new simcards. It took a while. Then we learn eating on the streets, orientating, negotiating and not get lost for too long.
Today we have a method on how to signal on the roads, ok / stop now /stop soon / wanna talk etc. We know where to put keys and not to forget the camera. We almost know how fast we travel, we know how to change the gear and how to fill up the tank. We still have problems with the currency.
One of us normally reads the map. He forces us forward, finds the food and other supplies and occasionally he also rapily identifys necessary mechanics. The other person has the more colourful flag (to be easier spotted in a back mirror) and a little longer flag stick which actually draw some attention and cheering from passed police officers (no fine, just apploads). But the most important contribution from the person normally going second, is that I have a working rear light bulb. We will fix the other in due time, but not tonight in Tuy Hoa.
