The Motorcycle Riders of Hanoi





In Hanoi, they say there are five million people and four million motorcycles!

In a country that is supposedly communist, the motorcycle has become a symbol of freedom and empowerment. People, milions of them, move around like swarms of bees on motorized bikes (although, a few still ride bicycles powered by human legs), to go to work, to shop, to fetch children, to go on a date, do anything, to go anywhere.





Is Metro Manila prepared for anything like this?
