After several days of non-paid internship and driving around by taxi we were desperate to get around ourselves. So we asked some members of my family to teach Moritz how to ride a motorbike. Unfortunately, everybody said: “Yes, of course! In the next days, when I have time.” So it wasn’t helpful at all to get such an answer. But then on Monday, my aunt said: “Let Moritz practise how to dry run first and then my uncle told him how to shift gears and then he practised while the bike was parked. The next step was to drive along the narrow way to the gate. After he got used to it my uncle decided that the whole family was going to the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, so that Moritz could drive around there where he had more space. There he drove several circles until a policeman came and told us that the practise time was over and that we had to leave. That evening Moritz drove me home himself. The streets weren’t too crowded and we got home safely. The next evenings we went to the mausoleum again to practise. Here you can see a video from one of the sessions ^^…

After three days we decided to go by motorbike to work and it went out well. Moritz is quite good now and we can get around ourselves without arguing with taxi drivers or waiting for somebody to drive us around.
