Best: Mexico City. I had a dental check-up and the lady gave me a mirror to hold so I could watch what she was doing while she explained things. Really interesting and also motivated me to floss more. Super professional and lovely experience.

Worst: Saigon, Vietnam. The hospital was fine but afterwards I had to get some prescribed medicine from the pharmacy downstairs. When I got there there was one old lady talking to the pharmacist so I lined up behind her and waited for 2 minutes. She was just about done when a tiny Vietnamese guy barged past me and started haranguing the pharmacist while she was still dealing with the old lady. Then 2 Vietnamese women joined and started doing the same thing (on the other side of the old lady). Soon there were about 20 people in the ‘queue’ all pushing past each other and giving no fucks about me. After about 20 minutes of waiting ‘in line’, sweating balls under the intense humidity, I said fuck it (out loud) and just pushed past everyone in front of me and slapped my prescription on the table which was instantly filled.

Most infuriating cultural practice next to the Chinese fondness for clearing their throat at any and every available moment.

Yeah I did it on a piece of shit scooter that kept breaking down. Totally achievable just buy a better one than I did.

Motorbike Pros:

Looks cool, sounds cool, probably more fuel efficient at high speed idk, goes fast

Motorbike Cons:

More expensive, manual in Vietnamese traffic seems like a nightmare, too easy to go too fast and wrap yourself around a truck

Scooter Pros:

It goes, its cheap, lots of storage under the seat, fully automatic is sweet,

Scooter Cons:

Hard to impress people with pics of you driving around the country on a Fabio
