		<description>I second the motor bike tip...

I rented a motorbike in Vietnam a month ago and crashed it in a rainstorm. Ended up with cuts all over, nasty leg rash and my ankle got absolutely mangled when I skidded for 15 feet with the bike directly on my ankle... Ended up getting infected, so I had to go to the vietnamese hospital for antibiotic injections. not fun. 

My advice: If you rent a motor bike (particularly for the first time before you&#039;re comfortable driving it) wear shoes (boots are best), nerdy motorcycle gloves with the cut off fingers (the palms of your hands will thank you) and DO NOT use the front brake under any circumstance.. 

Hope all is well Tim! Cheers.</description>
