The primary mode of transport in the cities of Vietnam is the xe, or 125-150cc motorbike (rather small). They're used to carry everything, apparently. We've seen on one xe:
a refrigerator
9 kegs of beer
5 people
a very large flat-screen television (twice)
12ft pieces of PVC pipe
bales of straw
a wire cage full to the top of puppies (really didn't want to know their destiny)
two adults, the driver balancing a large tray of donuts
baskets and flats of hundreds of eggs
a double mattress
a large, square mirror between the driver and passenger
various windows and doors
a glass cabinet
a mountain of fishtraps
a driver, two big westerners, and all their luggage (that would be us)
