Maybe disorder can be okay..

After looking at the streets of New York in my first blog post, I was reminded of a family vacation in Vietnam a few summers ago. In Vietnam, my parents taught me the art of street crossing.

In Vietnam, the streets is an endless river of motorcycles, vans, cars, and scooters. There are no lanes. Pedestrian crossing and traffic lights are a rare sight- if you want to cross the street, you just have to close your eyes, walk, and hope for your life you don't get hit. When you do cross, it's quite amazing, traffic just happens to magically move around you. :P



Some images comparing and contrasting the organization of traffic from two different sides of the world:
