Little snippets of culture

In case you are tired of compound sentences!

There are 10 million scooters in Hanoi. I have seen about 6M of them. Been almost hit by only 3 or 4. The trick is to find a VN native and just fall in step. Failing that, find a pack of tourists and get in the slip stream. Or just don't look and they all miss you.

I saw a Buddhist monk in orange robes - apparently from India. They all have cell phones so that is nothing but he was wearing Abercrombie sandals. I wish I had seen him carry home the bag.....

The traffic lights count down red and green. So not only do you know when it go faster to get the last few through, but you know when to prepare to jump the gun. And start honking!










There striped cross walks but what happens in one is not covered on the driver test.





The food is good - lots of fresh vegetables but not very spicy. No McDs in this area, but lots of KFC.
