Kind of an off-topic post, but what mask do you recommend to protect yourself against pollution and exhaust when sitting in traffic on a motorbike in a city like HCMC or Hanoi?
I've tried the ones that have bendable metal that go around the bridge of your nose. They still leak in a lot of exhaust and they fog up my eyeglasses like crazy. Surgical… More masks are useless for me. I still get a sore throat when sitting in traffic.
I'm thinking that the only mask that will work is one with a silicone skirt and with valves for inhaling and exhaling. The silicone will be hot and sweaty, but at least it will guarantee a real seal and filtered air. The cloth masks still get somewhat hot, *and* they don't work for filtering exhaust fumes, so to me they're pointless.

Has anyone travelled north on QL14C in Daknong from Dak Mil town, next to the Cambodian border, through Daklak to the border with Gia Lai province (as pictured)?
Not keen to travel into Gia Lai with the covid… More situation there at the moment, so planning to take a side road south east from there and stop at a local cham tower before resting in Ea Sup and then passing by Ho Ea Sup Ha and Ho Ea Sup Thuong before returning home to Buon Ma Thuot.
Hi Everyone, hoping someone could give me some info on what looks like a small road/ trail that runs from just north of Nam Cat Tien off DT725 and ends up near Dam Bri falls, Bao Loc. The road seems to be under Da Pal and Google maps would have you believe its part dirt road and part paved. Was wondering if anyone had been up there, what type of bike would be needed in the dry season and if it was generally worth it as an alternative to going further up and around on DT725?
Hey cool cats and dogs 🙌
Here's a little video I made about getting lost in the mountains near Mai Chau...with no minutes, data or map. What could possibly go wrong?!
If you like the video subscribe to the channel, I'll be uploading a new episode ever weekend!

MEKONG/TET HOLIDAY
Hi everyone! I did a quick search but didn't see any info.
Has anyone done a motorbike trip around the Mekong during tet? Not looking to do any tourist attractions or socialize. Just want to get out of the city and drive. Any places to avoid during this time? Recommendations?
TIA!
