Hello Vietnam

VIETNAM | Friday, 3 July 2009 | Views [361]

Ho Chi Minh the busy city.... If you thought that Sydney traffic was bad book yourself on a flight to Ho Chi Minh as it is literally insane... There are very relaxed traffic laws, at times it seems non-existant.. About 90% of the traffic is scooters and motor bikes and whole families travel together, and by that I mean that mum and the two kids will be on the back of a bike with dad driving! Crossing the street is something that scares me half to death – I need Dan to hold my hand like a child... to cross you simply step off the side walk and walk slowly to allow the traffic to move around you.... terrifying! Traveling around a round-a-bout is a fine art where no one gives way but simply pushes their way to their desired location... it is incredible... Whats most incredible is that to date we have still not witnessed a traffic accident..
