Where the water buffalo roam

The agricultural state of being is evident along the roadways. Rice paddies are "curbside;" cows, chickens, goats and water buffalo have the right of way.

Viet Nam's population puts it in the top 20 world-wide but its population density is higher because of its small area/size. The country is about 65% mountains and jungles, with that 35% holding the large urban population (over 9 million at last count). There's elbow room to be had, just don't try to pass a herd of water buffalo on the road.
