Unspoken Rule of the Road

1/23/2019

From the Euro American perspective the hours often spent commuting in heavy traffic can bring forth emotions we didn't know we were capable of - road rage being one of the most extreme forms!

In S.E. Asia, however, emotional reaction on the roads simply doesn't exist.  Drivers - mostly on motorbikes - on the clogged and chaotic roads are devoid of anger.  It's like watching a circus act as traffic seemingly flows smoothly in every direction without the aid of traffic lights or signage. 

If you find yourself needing to cross a street in Vietnam simply close your eyes and step out - at an even pace and preferably on the diagonal - don't worry they'll go around you!
