I was going to do that trip during Tet, back in 2010.聽 The first day I drove 5 miles before deciding to head back home and take a nap.聽 Hopefully you guys can make it a bit further than I did.

Keep in mind the fact that if a truck injures you they may have to pay you more than if they killed you.聽 As inhumane and barbaric as it is,. there have been instances of truckers backing up and finishing the job.

Here's the Top Gear: Vietnam special, if you haven't seen it already:

Most people riding the length of Vietnam go from north to south durig the cool seasons, from October to February, as then you will have a tail wind and the cycling weather is at its best.

I am just locked in an apartment for 2 more months and don't want to pay for the road and the apartment. So I plan on going to Singapore a few days then getting another 3 month tourist visa then I can expend that out if I need too
