Crossing the streets in Vietnam


At a slow and steady pace, Robert crosses a busy road in Nha Trang. If you wait for an opening, you'll be waiting for a long time. You just have to make a committing step and slowly walk across the street. Make eye contact with the drivers, and you'll do fine. Traffic in SE Asia is much slower than in the Western world, but you can't assume they operate by the same rules. At first it seems like chaos, but slowly you realize their system works just as our system works back home.
