Travel to Vietnam is not complete without crossing the street. Crossing the street in Saigon or Hanoi resembles a modern day Frogger. You hop from open area to open area on the road trying to make it across before you get squished. There are over a million motorbikes in Hanoi, and probably more in Saigon and crosswalks have not caught on in many parts of the country. Pedestrians Tips to accomplish such a feat:
