It was bound to happen sooner or later...Today was the day. I was stopped by the police while driving around town on my scooter! Everyone who has been here in Vietnam knows that there is one rule in traffic, which is; NO RULE! Get out alive and the rest is up to you!
I was driving and drinking (a caramel freeze) when the cops drove beside me and told me to pull over... It's my uncle's bike so I didn't have any papers on me. And they kinda knew right off that I was an easy bate due to my retard accent. They were probably thinking "ding ding ding JACKPOT!" Any who, I was told that I had broken the law (yeah right) by not driving around in the roundabout but just taken a u-turn.. Whatever.. True enough.. BUT, here's where the fish starts to stink..
They began to say "Oh no, we have to take your bike in for a month, unless you can settle it now just between us...bla bla bla.." Not very subtle but OK..
Had to pocket out 300 000 VND which is roughly 15 USD. I was told later on here in the office that that was waaaaay too much.. I am happy I can contribute to the Vietnamese economy.. Hehehe..One experience richer for only 100 NOK, a bargain! :)
I am thinking, fukk any GM positions in any 5 star hotels.. I am going to become a policewoman in Vietnam.. I mean seeeeriously you can make a freaking fortune by just standing on the side of the road down here and collect money.. I am surprised the police has any other jobs than just patrolling the roads for mischief in the traffic.. NO ONE FOLLOWS ANY RULES! My bloody cousin drove backwards on the freaking highway! They sit up to 6 people on one motorbikes, and there's no "my side-your side" thing down here.. WE SHARE, left right, same same... Speed limits..speed what???
Have to find the web page for the police academy down here, I am enrolling today.. Ka'chiiing!
