Strangely, Saigonese people get used to this weather quite well, streets are always full of people, cars, bikes and cyclos.

Tam has a "big" customer sitting in front : a two-hundred pound-like woman with a bag full of stuffs.Almost bending his skinny body forward to place more weights on the pedals, Tam can barely move his rusty Cyclo on the crooked street.
