Motorbike Sagas From The Vietnam: I'm not sure that these qualify as sagas, but they were funny. The picture was taken today as Robin and our helper went to the market. Obviously they couldn't buy much.... so I thought. When they returned, Robin was by herself and Lien returned on her motorbike. Why? Because Robin had too much to carry on the motorbike so she had to take a taxi. This afternoon I went to walk the boys back from school, so I jumed on a "Xe om" and headed tothe school. A "xe om" is a motorbike taxi. Once we arrived at the school, I jumped off the back of the bike, but hung my pants leg on a piece of wire hanging of the back of the bike. The end result was a ripped pair of pants! The driver thought it was funny... I didn't! I asked him if he had a needle and thread to sew up my pants. He just laughed, got his money and drove off.
