HCMC-Traffic

This is what greeted us at Ho Chi Minh and what I brought home with me. Even when walking on the pavement, we had to fight for walking space coz the bikes came and took over half the pavement!

When my gf told me about the traffic and bikes, I really didn't imagine this - so here is a picture, because it tells a thousand words!

It's not the exhaust fumes that will get to you, but it's in the dodging of bikes. They are everywhere!

I never remembered ever growing up with such traffic - sure, even when cars were not a common thing, I never had to be this careful on the roads.

The plus point is, they don't travel fast - so there is time for both to react.
