Did they didn't say what 15 million Vietnamese dongs means in real money?

They said it was worth 1000 US Dollars.

You could have easily bought a better bike for that, although maybe the 15 million was between them and not 15 million each.

A decent Honda 50 can be had for around €100.

Quality episode. . Lol at jeremy coming around corner screaming 'i'm the most miserable man in the world' and extra lol at bike crash. Vietnamese girl painting everything in the car park pink was hilarious too. . . I was in vietnam two years ago and i must say they portrayed it brilliantly. . . Nice hottie helping jeremy start his vespa in ho chi minh

Brilliant episode, nearly beats the African Special.

The presents were brilliant, especially when Hamster bashed his boat against the bins.
Jezza grumbling the whole way.
Hamster's mood when they painted his bike pink
James' Colander helmet.
The Vietnamese driving test, James going the wrong way ROFL!
Their amphibius bikes, and James falling in at the end

Not a funny moment, but I was really touched by the scene where the deaf man told Richard about the B-52 hitting the beach. It just made it seem so real.
It was nice in a way that they weren't just faffing about, that they did take this seriously, that they knew about the lives lost.

Kind of like when they saw the remains of the houses after Katrina on the American road trip.

I just can't wait till April or so when it's back on!!!!

They've got to come to Ireland for a challenge or something!!!
I'd love to see how James would get on with the Mad Cow Roundabout!!!
