1. The Animal Lovers
Of course it's a poultry task for the Vietnamese...
Assuming they've got their best friend...
Some protective headgear...
Enough horsepower...
And big enough cojones.
2. The Removal Men
Which can sometimes make it difficult to drive
But the Vietnamese will find a way
And still won't leave their friends behind
3. The Comedy Sketches
With passengers almost falling off
Or even floating away
4. The Business Ventures
From portable florists
To mobile green-grocers
To roving restaurants
All the way to travelling china shops
5. The Behemoths
Be it size
Weight
Or sheer awkwardness
6. The Meals on Wheels
Lunch.
Or dinner...
7. The Inexplicable

And parenting
There are some that shake the very pillars of civilisation
And others that will just make you smile.
