Promise not to laugh!

I finally bought my one way flight to Thailand for the 30th December. My adventure is officially taking place!

Now, I will be going to Vietnam, Hanoi. I intend on spending a month in Vietnam riding fron Hanoi to Saigon. Yes, like off Top Gear. But the opposite route.

Anyway, my question is this, and please no laughing.

I've never owned a 2 stroke... I have no idea about oil/fuel mixtures. If I guy a Minsk (unlikely), I will be screwed. Can someone explain to me the reasons for the oil so if something goes wrong I can at least think if the fuel has played a part of not. And secondly, how annoying is it? And will I have to keep a HUGE tub of oil on me at all times?

Thanks!

Is it worth just getting a 4 stroke 125 or something then? Seems like a lot can go wrong that I don't want to go wrong out and about.

And yes, I will keep you guys updated, however. God knows how haha.

Thailand > Vietnam > Philippines > Australia. So might be a few months until you hear from me when I land in Oz!
