How do tropical plants survive without rainfall over the dry season, which can be 5 months long

How do tropical plants survive without rainfall over the dry season, which can be 5 months long?
I live in Vietnam, where the rainy season is about 6 or 7 months and it rains every day. Jungles thrive here, but I don't know plants can survive the dry season, which continues for 5 months, often without any rain at all.

I would assume that during the rain season they must take some of the water into some kind of reserve to sustain themselves over the dry season, or maybe they go into some kind of hibernation, like bears do over here (in the US) in the winter. I'm not sure, but those are two explanations that make the most sense to me.
2 :
Cause those plants have long root systems and tap into underground water sources.

How different is driving a motorcycle than driving a moped

How different is driving a motorcycle than driving a moped?
I live in Vietnam and drive a Honda Wave everywhere I go. If I ever move back to the US I'd like to look into getting a motorcycle license. I'm still trying to work out the official differences between a moped and a motorcycle but I also wonder if there are major differences in the way a (non-automatic) moped and a big bad motorcycle are driven.

As far as balance, no difference. But I never did see Mike Hailwood ear olin' a' the atch' on a Mo Ped. So there is some clutch - shifter coordination to fool with and the brakes maybe be located a little different. Other than that it is so much fun you won't notice the learning curve until it rains. Then you'll wish you would have bought a car.
