Per the video description:
“Some footage shot from the back of a Honda Cub in 1993 riding through the streets of Saigon. It's amazing how much has changed in 20 years - which in the life of most cities, isn't very long. I rode the bike and provided the inane commentary while Cherie Marriott operated the camera until the battery ran out as we reached the Continental Hotel.”
