Go funky moped

It's interesting what ideas you pick up when you're on holiday. From Vietnam we've taken away the idea of getting a moped. They are so versatile - you can carry most things on them; for example 5 sacks of rice, 3 small children, or a stepladder. More unusually you can pull bamboo canes along behind you, or transport your wares such as feather dusters. Probably the most unusual cargo we've seen was a dead pig (not a piglet note), slung across someone's lap.

Honda is the recommended make here, and they just buzz around and look incredibly useful. The weather probably helps, but it is rainy season, so people are having to deal with downpours - just stick on a plastic cape and you're away.

So when we get back, don't be surprised if we're off to the Caister mod weekends.
