In Vietnam so hard to go out that we have to ask the police for help

Crosswalk as a kind of extreme sporta



If you are visiting Vietnam, ready to forget everything you ever knew about crossing the street. Forget about the transitions of the "zebra" and traffic lights because of the Vietnam people crossing the road, paving the way through the moving stream of cars - it's the only way to get to the other side.

Despite the danger, crossing the street, and the entertainment is giving adrenaline. The streets are full of Vietnamese cities moving scooters and cars and pedestrians to easily flit between them. It seems that they all focus on the impending transport, finding gaps and moving through them slowly but steadily. There is simply no other way, because in such big cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, the traffic - it's just a nightmare.





Most vehicles on the streets rather small - for the most part it's scooters, because buying a car in Vietnam - is expensive. People ride on a scooter gently, they move slowly, have a clear view and try to be careful not to knock down pedestrians.



Evelyn Hannon, recently visited the country, wrote in his blog: "The most important thing to remember is that once you have started to cross the road, you can not stop halfway. You have to keep moving, because it is something that drivers expect from you, and they act accordingly.

Evelyn wrote that she was afraid to go into the city center because of the situation on the roads, but then she decided to overcome the fear - and found help in unexpected places. First, a local helped her to cross the street, and then the company of American students. Traffic police also appeared, as appropriate: "It's their job - says Evelyn - translate trusishek tourists to the other side." So the police for help, you can feel free to inquire.
