Pedestrians running for their bare life, motorbikes scattered all over and cars doing their best to avoid the masses.
This could be our future HH if they continue constructing homes as present and don't upgrade roads and crossings!!

It looks nearly as bad as it is. I found the only way to walk across a street in Saigon was to walk at a determined, steady pace, not looking right or left, just stare straight ahead. As long as you dont hesitate, or look at the traffic, they will avoid you. If you look, or hesitate, then it's your responsibility to avoid being hit !!

Huge quantities of alcohol did seem to ease the tension Cheers

Perente; you should really try this attitude in the traffic here in Thailand and see how long you would last.
Before you do; try an elimination heat once more in Saigon.

Norseman, trusting the Hua Hin traffic to avoid a farang??? I don't think so, they're more likely to aim at me Shoot em up

Still finding huge quantities of alcohol quite stress relieving, though Cheers

Hi Anh Bamboo,

The clip is great fun, must be taken during rush hour in the afternoon!!! ah and nice music ( I love you I love you I love you....). It looks suck in the clip but actually everybody drive on 25 - 40km/h

Traffic is same fun in Hanoi ah...same same but different, people drive like they are out of their mind but who say that's bad... you will quickly get use with the trafic cuture here. Riding my bike in Bangkok is really something make me pee in my pant, in Hanoi I can riding, chatting on sms and look around for handsome guy at the same time.

Crossing the street is an art! Just like you are testing your nerve of beliving in luck... Just go straight and all the biker will give you a lane, it's Mose's trick! Believe it or not

Come and enjoy then!!! Em will stuck here in Hanoi for long long time more (no more job in DKK) so who want to try to drive a motorbike here, contact me. Let's go and rent a bike

Since em is in a bad mood now tomorrow morning em will drive my Suzuki around and kill some Farangs for fresh meat. Mr. Green

Yeah, I guess that some of the thais would see it as an act of charity to get a bloody farang for breakfast!!

Watch out guys, they could be after YOU!!!!

See you all tomorrow after dark at the beach.
