These helmets could well make a difference in people's lives. It's a very kind gift. Also remind them to cross railroad tracks on a perpendicular angle.
Thanks, Rick. Fortunately, RR crossings are very rare in Dalat and uncommon in the rest of the country because there's only one rail line and it runs along the coast. Those I've seen are much better maintained than the ones that took me down. I will definitely take my daughter to a crossing and discuss it with her. Thanks for the reminder.
My first culture shock on my very first trip to Thailand (2000) was seeing a whole family, at least 4-5 members, riding a motorbike and only the dad wearing a helmet if even he was.

I guess the thinking goes, you don't need a helmet if your head is still a little soft. YIKES!!

I Thailand, the law says only the pilot must wear a helmet. Again, safety is not a thought, only not getting stopped by the po-po.
Yeah, and be ready to pay the fine on the spot!
