We asked our tour guide on tips on how to navigate the traffic in Hanoi by foot. He gave us three options.
How to cross the street?
Option 1. Close your eyes. Just walk and pray.
Option 2. Wear shades and use a stick while crossing the street. The vehicles will avoid you.
Option 3. Fly if you can.
Another suggestion from one of our companions is to wait for the locals to cross the street and walk along with them.
Quang told us that when he was taught how to drive, he was given one rule: Don’t hit anybody.
That was very comforting.
