This is one of my posts from August, 2006. At that time I wanted to get a Honda Custom motorcycle. The price was quite expensive for used motorcycles back in 2006. The…

Update: You can purchase a TDS water quality meter at Lazada. Last week I checked the water quality again in my apartment building. I have done it once in the past, this…

I decided to take a motorcycle ride to Thao Dien today. Stopping at Babas Kitchen in Thao Dien was a perfect excuse. It just a good quiet place to relax and have a nice…

Today I tried the Vegetable Navrathana Korma at Babas Kitchen in District 1. It was pretty good though I have a preference for the more spicier vegetable curry. I had…

About every two weeks I need to fill up my motorcycle. I added about 11.6 litters of fuel on Monday. A big feat for me since normally the gas attendents refuse to fill…

You see these water trucks all over Saigon. They water the plants and vegetation in the entire city. I took this photo in District 4 of So 41 Street.

Got to see the new 2018 Ninja 400 yesterday with the 300cc Bikers Club. We all met to clean our bikes' chains. At the moment the 300cc Bikers Club is made up of the…

Last Wednesday night I went out with a couple members of a young 300cc Club. We were made up of two Z300s and one Ninja 300. The club will get bigger and offer trips…

The new upper class area in Saigon is located at Nguyen Co Thach less than 5 minutes from both the Thu Thiem bridge and Thu Thiem tunnel. You can find condos and high…

I never knew this area existed. Take a look of the view from near the Ham Thu Thiem area just across from District 4. A great view of District 1 and 4.

At the request of a couple Expats from both Saigon and Hanoi, I decided to do a test of the DIY Air Purifier in my bedroom. My main air purifier since August, 2016, has…

Yeah, I got a after market exhaust on My Kawasaki Z300 motorcycle. Yes, it is a bit loud but needed on the streets of Saigon. For pollution, my Arrow exhaust meets Euro…
