Here's a clip of the view from my xe om (motorbike), driving through Ha Noi. Traffic is no problemo as long as you go with the flow and keep the "rules" of the road (like, "only look ahead, not back" and "if there's space, fill it").
ps--I came close to not posting this because it seemed so normal (why would people reading this from the States even care?), but then I remembered that it seemed real crazy when I first arrived. This is the traffic that I now bike and run in (quite the change from the Prairie Path!).

ReplyDeleteYike! You've got a stronger stomach than I have! I've done traffic like that (think Manila) but from the inside of an SUV, where one has a greater sense of safety..Be safe, but enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love the the reflection of you with the video camera in the rearview mirror of the motorbike. I guess since you're not supposed to look back, that makes rearview mirrors unnecessary, except to catch an image of the rider on the back! Now, do you drive one of those or do youride on the back? Is that something you own or you hire when you need to go someplace?
