In a country such as Vietnam, leaping from rural inertia to the frenzy of global economy, mobility is essential. This is easily recognized by the monstrous amount of scooters on the streets. This specific means of transport seems to fit Vietnam's current needs so perfectly that it has developed its own transportation culture including the 'Xe Om', the scooter's taxi incarnation available on almost every corner. Private cars on the other side have remained a rare site on Vietnamese streets.
