Comparing Types of Transport
Now, before we start our journey around this lovely city

6 Chaotic = To be in no order:
Bus is also an option here. The biggest advantage when ‘Hn loan

low, so we don't have to worry about money. Besides, buses dinh huéing cho mot thigh d6
here cover most of the main routes, so it's quite convenient
for us to go from one place to another. However, please 8 _ Rental price: Gid tien thue
bear in mind that most buses here are always crowded and
even chaotic!® sometimes, which increases the risk of being
pickpocketed. So, remember to always pay close attention
to your phones and wallets if you still want to take them
home with you.
If you don't like any of the mentioned forms of transport, we
can consider grabbing a taxi". The fares are much higher
than buses, of course, but I'm sure they're still lower than
some neighbouring countries. The good thing is that most
taxi drivers here are very hospitable and helpful, and they
do provide door-to-door service®, which is another great
thing. Anyway, remember to check your belongings carefully
before leaving the cab because once you've forgotten
anything there, you're not likely to ever see them again, trust
me.

1. What
the easiest way to get around your town/city?
Because of traffic congestion, taking a bus may be the best way to get from place to place.
Although during the rush hour, it’s best just to travel on foot.
2. Do you use public transportation or private transportation?
Personally | use a motorbike to get around the city. It's more convenient than taking public
transportation like buses or trains.

Ok, so the main form of public transportation in Hanoi are buses. Personally, | don't use
buses very often because the current bus system is not very efficient, and it is much more
convenient to ride a motor!
‘e, however | have used them a few times in the past, and if the
government upgrades the system in the future then | would definitely use them more often as
away to get from A to B. So the types of people who use buses these days I guess are people
who either can't afford their own private vehicle or people who don't like to ride their own
vehicle in the hectic traffic of the city. But | would probably say that the majority of people
who use buses in my city are the elderly and children.
So there's a bunch of advantages and disadvantages when it comes to catching the bus.
Firstly, the key advantage is that it is quit
get a seat to sit on, because sometimes the bus is so full that people have to stand up, which
is one serious disadvantage. Another advantage is that due to the ongoing problem of traffic
congestion in the city, particularly during rush hour, being on the bus lets you escape from
the polluted air outside from all of the vehicles. However, the disadvantage during rush hour
is that because the bus is so
a safe and comfortable way to travel, providing you
can't move very fast through the dense traffic, so if your in
a rush or cutting it fine to get to school or work, it could be a bad option.

Today, I'm going to tell you about a car journey that I remember very well.
About 4 months ago, my girlfriend and | decided to take a trip to Da Lat, a lovely city located
in the mountainous area of Vietnam, to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of our relationship
and also to prepare for our wedding in the following month. As Da Lat is not very far from
Saigon, we chose to get there by car, and it took us over 6 hours to reach the destination.
During our way, we could enjoy the natural beauty outside an urban area. There were barely
any houses on the way and what captured our attention was only the picturesque landscapes.
Upon reaching the destination, we took another drive around the city. The weather in Da Lat
is quite unique as you can enjoy 4 seasons within just a day. A typical day in this city would
start
some slight and cool winds in the morning, just like spring, then the temperature
rises gradually and peaks at noon, showing the sign of the summer. After about 4 o'clock, the
temperature starts to drop and the wind blows again to signal that the autumn has come, and
finally, we can immerse ourselves in the cold weather of a winter when night falls.
During the time there, we shot some pictures at various popular spots like the central lake,
the ancient palace and the strawberry hill. After that, we got back to our car and returned to.
Saigon, and this is when the saddest thing in my life happened: we ran into an accident with a
truck. The car was completely broken, and my girlfriend couldn't survive the crash.
Now I'm still heavily obsessed with that accident, and I believe it will take me years to overcome
that pain. | will never travel by car again.

Today | would like to tell you about my ride last weekend when my bike broke down halfway
back home.
Itwas such a bright and sunny day that I decided to take my 3-year-old bike out for a ride to
enjoy the sights along the street. Unlike other scorching hot days, it was one of those rare
summer days when the temperature was about 26 Celsius degree, which was perfect for a
nice ride around the city. | was fairly confident that my beloved bike would take me home
safely as it still looked rather new and had been running flawlessly ever since.
Following some of my favorite roads, | made my way to Ton Duc Thang Street, enjoying the
views of Sai Gon River and Bach Dang Wharf along the bank. The ride went well and smoothly
Until | set out to return home. While riding along a secondary road, | noticed that the chain of
my bike suddenly fell off. | panicked for a while, before deciding to pull over in a park nearby.
At that time, | was so sweaty as the temperature began to rise. Luckily enough, | came across
a bike-repair shop on the pavement just after 10 minutes of walking. The repair was quick, so
| did not have to wait for so long under the harsh sun.
It was a bit disappointing that the trip turned out to be a weary one, not as perfect as |
expected. Another reason which let me down was that my lovely bike broke down only after
three years. | guess it needs to be maintained more frequently from now on.
