“The Killing Season: A Motorbike Trip Through Vietnam,” (Full Video)

If you are from the west and have ever been to Asia, you know exactly how everything seems so backwards from what your used to.  There seems to be this insane feeling of organized chaos.  Scooters and rickshaws and motorbikes and buses and trucks and people hauling carts and scooters and more scooters and more scooters!  It’s mind bending to say the least.

With any trip to a far away land there are up’s and downs that shape the trip.  Memories good and bad as a whole create and ultimately shape the experience.  You learn from your mistakes and your successes, whether it be taking the wrong train, ordering food by just pointing to a random scribble on a menu, eating at an open air market with no concept of what, in, the ,hell , this strange creature you are going to eat might be and worst of all, a glass of water that will send you to the latrine (if there is one) for a few days.
