The traffic here is insane. There are no traffic laws and you can pretty much do whatever your little heart desires. Feel like driving down the wrong side of the road? Go for it! Feel like going after the light has turned red? Go for it! Feel like making completely illegal turns? Go for it! Feel like going the wrong way in a traffic circle? Go for it! Well yeah… you get the point. Traffic in the day is out of hand, you pretty much risk your life everytime you ride your scooter, get on the back of a scooter or walk across the street. The strange thing is, the streets are pretty much deserted after 10 or 11 pm.
In the video, you’ll see traffic during peak hours (I was on the back of my friend Vinh’s motorcycle, I must say she did an excellent job of navigating through the chaos) and the streets at about 11pm one night. In the night shot, we’re not in some remote part of the city, we’re about 5 blocks away from where we live which is the busy busy tourist district. This place is ass backwards yo!
