Almost everywhere in Vietnam has a "bike guy" (usually an older man) responsible for organising all the motorbikes.
Last night, I spoke to my bike guy outside of my favourite restaurant in Vietnamese for about 10 minutes. That's basically all the Vietnamese I know.
It was so awesome. It's such a deep joy to start speaking in a new language you're learning. That feeling will never get old for me.
I also got lots of numbers practice when he asked me "Em bao nhiêu tuổi?" (How old are you) and I asked him to guess. 🤣

@lufte Because everyone has a bike, there’s one per customer outside of every coffee shop or restaurant. The bike guy moves them around to make sure they’re not in the way on the street, sometimes they even move them out of the sun as the sun position changes as well. They’re just responsible for the giant pile of bikes being looked after and organised. · 1 week ago
What does organizing motorbikes mean? Like a mechanic? Or they organize tours and group rides? · 1 week ago
