jesus, thats nuts.

[OdessaS13]

damn, you have to have really good coordination not to crash into someone during that shit. id be scared to shit if i saw a bus 5 inches away from me while im riding a 10 pound scooter

[sifu]

went there over the summer, thats exactly how it is.

there were alot of times i thought we were gonna get hit.. theres no lanes or anything. nobody really cares if you go into oncoming traffic

[dizbjello]

hahaha, they street race those things over there too.

[Andrew Bohan]

Lets go rent a Motobyke!

[SochBAT]

it would be soo awesomely funny to have a pike thrown at the front spokes of like, 5 bikes. Watch a chain reaction of collisions.

[aznpoopy]

in taiwan its like that, except with more cars.

[Avante]

in taiwan its like that, except with more cars.

Well, kind of. except the fact that we do have lanes and it's a little more coordinated than that.

but it's more convenient to own scooters in taiwan that it is to own cars. parking is hazardous.

...i want a scooter

[sw20>>s14]

its a lot worse in bankok and certain parts of china...to think, not a single person wearing any sort of helmet/protection...SQUIDS!!

[SilviaDriver]

im vietnamese and never been to VN. that was amazing. the "i survived saigon" was hilaroius.

my parents went VN couple months ago, first time in 20+ yrs. my mom said she was scared SHIETLESS when her sister drove her around town on a motorbike

[ThatGuy]

What a lousy video. I didn't see Jackie Chan or Chris Tucker ANYWHERE.

[xka24detx]

damn... and i thought traffic in the philippines was bad...

[laxplaya8513]

i was there 2 months ago...it's really not all that scary...3rd time over, was over for my older bro's marriage...his wife's actually coming over next month....but yeah, went to Saigon + Nha Trang, some of the bigger cities, it's really not all that bad, you get used to it

[jdm538]

In the Philippines traffic lights are not really payed attention to and paramedics are hardly pulled over for.

[FaLKoN240]

LOL, I was waiting for someone to say that.

[xka24detx]

lol yup.. i remember when i went back when i was like 7.. espically in manila.. 5 lanes becomes 10... but my mom said it is different since she went back couple months ago...

[240meowth]

i think the whacked part is that there's no traffic signal and no one dies...

i mean i am from taiwan and been to china i have not seen something this whacked

[Ritz S14]

hhahahah lmao +1 for Thinh.

[ThatGuy]

My apollogies if you were offended, but it had nothing to do with asians. It had everything to do with the thread title RUSH HOUR in Taiwan. I don't know if you are aware of it or not, but Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker made 2 movies with RUSH HOUR in the title. I attempted to play off the thread title and movie title similarities. Never did it have have anything to do with racial stereotyping.

[i8yourfwd]

lol...hahaha itd also be funny if i went to your house and shot you in the face. hahaha...lol...hahaha....hah...lol..hahaha :cj:
ahahahhahaha

+2 For mr. union city spambot XD

[carlos9984]

fuck.. that shits crazy.. id be scare to just cross that street..
im surprised no one got hit...

[240SX714]

I was in VN last month. I couldn't cross the major streets without help when I just arrived. Give me a couple of days and I'm riding those mopeds everywhere. I drove my cousin's mercedes overthere going to Da Lat too. Those mopeds are so damn fun. I love the 2 stroke 125cc suzuki sport. Damn thing so fast and wheelies like there's no tomorrow. It's really fun if you're originally from VN. I got a friend who just return to US last week (i chilled with him in Saigon for 2 days), another friend still in VN, and one more guy going in 5 days, so jealous. Anyways, just ranting about how much I miss it. The good thing is that in the city, you can't really go that fast so accidents aren't usually fatal with moped....cars on the other hand.... Just don't drive like a dumbass and you ain't gonna die.

[TiNMAN]

your cousin has a mercedes?! you must be a damn commi! :rl: jk...i guess there really is such thing as a rich vietnamese citizen. :bowdown:

[TiNMAN]

sorry, i just realized that i should have been using a bunch of these---> :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

konichiwa bitches!

:keke:


:squint:

hahaha.....i'm not a commi. My cousin just knows how to do business. There's a bunch of Mercedes and BMW over there right now. I saw M3s and like 5 mercedes everyday in the city and the tax is like 200% for imported cars. Nicest car I saw there was a Porsche Cayenne. Oh yea, and I saw 10+ Mercedes driving through my hometown in a row with cops on both ends protecting it, turns out it was the prime minster (Phan *something* Khai), now that's a commi.

[tailspin]

thats how it is here in san diego... just with civics and integras

I was there from July 22nd to August 31st, I was 1 week late for school. Prior to this trip, the last time I was back there was 6 years ago in 1999. You guys are NOT gonna believe this, but I saw a riced out 240 overthere. I was shocked. It's probably the only one in the country. I was riding in the opposite direction so I counldn't turn around, it was a hatchback.

[ai_jo]

during my stay in VN i ended up seeing two accidents involving motorbikes.

i think one was a dump truck crushing the dudes head. his helment was crushed under the wieght of the truck. they left the body for a few hours cause they were looking for the family to transport it back to his home city.

second was at night time, i just saw the body not what happened.

[infinitexsound]

reminds me of a colony of ants.... seriously what a way to get around...

[racerxl99]

i was back there like 9 months ago and the first cursing i did was " HOLY CRAP". the dude turned the corner without looking or stop and "almost" hit the taxi i was in. i prayed, and i mean i prayed, everytime i got on the back of that motorbike w the girl. ive never been more afraid to be on the road b4. when i got back to tx, i kissed the ground for making it back safe, not from the plane ride but from the traffic over there. :p
