New Petchburi Pete Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 "Any other tips?" .... yeah, avoid poultry & don't step in chicken shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhumvit Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Yeah, the trick is to keep moving in a regular, easily predictable fashion. Don't panic and freeze as that will cause a pile up. The old quarter of Hanoi has to be one of the scarier places I've tried to cross the road and most of them are on bicycles. Or in HCM city the large roundabout, (without a roundabout in the middle) near the covered market not too far from the Presidential Palace, is another eye opening experience.
