Vietnamese netizens are flexing their meme skills ahead of United States president Barack Obama's visit to the country.

Facebook user Lam Tran, for instance, recently posted a series of Photoshopped images speculating on the fate of President Obama's motorcade during his visit while highlighting some average Vietnam problems at the same time. The images feature heavy flooding, a bánh mì purchase through a car window and a procession of red and blue vehicles – a nod, perhaps, to Hanoi's recent color-coded signage.

We're not sure that any of these will actually happen, but Vietnam's certainly got a sense of humor about the impending Obama visit.
