Introduction

Traveling to a new country is an amazing experience. You get to learn more about how other people do things, learn the local culture, as well as see strange things. One of the most interesting things to see in Asia is their transport system.

Many people may have heard that in many Asian countries, the main transport is motorcycles. Although many people may envision hundreds of motorcycles beeping away as they ride past in rush hour, not all know what some riders load on their motorcycles as well as the road conditions they sometimes face.

This book contains over 95 pictures and is a small collection of the interesting things I have encountered in one and a half years of living in Southeast Asia. Most pictures were taken in Cambodia; however, some were taken in Vietnam.

The pictures are sorted under four headings; Motorcycles, Trucks and Buses, Roads, and Other. Each picture has a small description under it, which describes where the picture was taken, and the events that occurred while taking the picture.

As you scan through the pictures, and read the descriptions, you may just learn a bit about the culture and way of transporting things in these wonderful countries.

Learn more about Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and Machu Picchu.
