뜻
Commuting using a two-wheeled vehicle.
문화적 배경
Motorbikes are the primary mode of transport due to narrow streets and high taxes on cars. It's common for a family of four to share one bike. The 'Saigon Flow' refers to the continuous movement of motorbikes. People here often use their bikes as mobile shops or delivery vehicles. In Hanoi, the 'xe máy' is essential for navigating the '36 streets' of the Old Quarter where cars are often restricted or stuck. Learning to 'đi làm bằng xe máy' is considered a rite of passage for foreigners living in Vietnam, signaling their integration into local life.

Rainy Season
If you say you 'đi làm bằng xe máy' in June, people will ask if you have a 'áo mưa' (raincoat)!
