Lunch break for the law

Today we went to our favorite buddhist restaurant near the TEFL training center. We were walking to meet our trainer who went there on his motorbike when we saw him standing on the side of the road with no shirt on. At first we thought he was playing a practical joke but we soon learnt that he had been hit by someone who wasn't paying attention to the traffic lights. (No one in this country pays attention to the traffic signals, they may as well not even have any in the first place!)

Nash had manged to fly through the air, land and roll conveniently on his shoulder, jump to his feet and grab the keys from the ignition of the offenders motorbike. Luckily he wasn't hurt but had dislocated his arm from it's socket...it was quite the sight to see him standing there with a loose arm. And the police were nowhere to be found. As one Vietnamese bystander said, "The police? No, they're on their lunchbreak." Amazing that in a country where the law trumps all, not one police man can be found in the 2 hour lunch break of Vietnam!!
