Oi yoi yoi VS oyoyoyo

The traffic in Bali is so bad it's quicker (not necessarily cheaper or easier) to get on a scooter.

So we did that the other night. It's not quite as scary as it looks from the outside. And these guys are good.

But you do worry about not wearing a helmet (and is conking your head more of a risk than lice?).

So we're scooting along. Karen's on the front bike. I'm behind (as usual). And my driver, I'm assuming he knows what he's doing, overtakes a slow car. There is traffic coming at us from the front.

I squeek "oi yoi yoi!".

He asks "are you from Australia?".
