‘Vietnamese Transporter’ could be Ho
Chi Minh City deliveryman
Riding a motorbike the
Vietnamese way
An unidentified man has been
dubbed ‘The Vietnamese Transporter’ after an incredible video surfaced last
week showing him maneuvering his motorbike through a busy street while loaded
with nearly ten large rolls of cloth.
In
the video which has so far been viewed
nearly half a million times on Tuoi Tre News’
Facebook page, the man is seen sitting at the rear of his bike, stretching
his arms to control the vehicle.
The
space between his lap and the bike’s handlebars is filled with nearly ten
rolls of heavy cloth.
Dangerous
as it may seem, the man is captured skillfully negotiating the streets of
what is believed to be Ho Chi Minh City, looking at the one-minute footage.
“Incredible”,
“OMG” and “How could he do that?” are among the most common comments under
the video.
Many
people joked that this is the kind of deliveryman they would hire.
“Who
needs a truck when you can do it with a motorbike?” one of the comments
reads.
Some
commenters also said they have seen such ‘transporters’ in real life,
suggesting the video was filmed around Tan Binh Market, one of the major
wholesale hubs of fabrics in Ho Chi Minh City.
The
market is located just a stone's throw away from Bay Hien, an area full of
textile facilities and fabric wholesale outlets.
The
man’s actions in the viral video are said to be commonplace among these types
of deliverymen, who transfer material between Tan Binh Market and Bay Hien on
a daily basis, according to some comments on Facebook.
But
he must surely be one of the most skillful and/or reckless.
“At
least he is wearing a helmet,” one Facebook user commented.
Totally
ignoring traffic laws and safety to transport goods on motorbikes is not
uncommon in Vietnam.
