Driving here is a real experience. In a city with nearly one million people and ninety five percent on motorbikes, it can be total chaos at rush hour. I have yet to see a stop sign and there are only a few stop lights. They don't really count though.No one stops for them. It's amazing how the traffic weaves through itself with clearances so thin you couldn't slip a credit card between the bikes. Yet there are not many accidents and I have seen no sign of road-rage. Everyone just moves along and allows others to slip in and out around them. You have to be on your toes though. It's common for people to just stop in the middle of the road to chat or look around.

Remember what we learned in 2000. Just keep moving and they will miss you. It's still to new, all these motor bikes, give them another couple years and you'll start seeing road rage. Of course, you could give them a lesson if you want!@#$%^&*
Ron,
That was one of the toughest things to get use to in VN. After I mastered the keep moving philosophy, I had to remaster the look before you cross when arriving back in the States.
Who IS this dude on the scooter. Can't be Bill. Wrong hat!
