Walking Ho Chi Minh:

So our first day was a little nerve rattling. At least the morning. We read in the guidebook that crossing the street takes some practice. It’s true. The motorbikes literally never stop. They really do come in a constant stream on every street. And there are very few lights. So what you do is just take a leap of faith and begin walking. Like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade... “Only the penitent man can pass, only the penitent man can pass…” As you step into the stream of motorbikes the drivers part around you as you go. You shouldn’t run, or flinch or hesitate, just walk, and they will miss you…Usually. Angelica created her own theory on this as well, which I will let her explain.
