Pictures from Hanoi, Vietnam
My trip to Hanoi last week was... Intense. Definitely interesting and different! Fun! Adventurous!
It was my first trip there and although I have traveled to many different places on our globe I was not entirely prepared for the streets of Hanoi; it was an incredible show of mopeds and cars going in all directions at the same time. People consequently taking the shortest route why road line markings are utterly useless! As a driver you meet the traffic head-on all the time(!), it passes you on both sides 24/7. It is an organized chaos! Very intense. Especially for Westerners trying to cross a street walking...
The strange thing is that the locals are so calm though. I did not see one stressed out Vietnamese driver in a whole week. Incredible! And not one accident! That is even more remarkable, they all seem to follow the rule "The Fastest Vehicle Has The Right of Way!".
