I was taking a nap yesterday, and woked up. Decided to take a drive around Saigon, maybe to Chinatown, when I noticed that traffic in more heavier than usual.
What is this? Well, it's rush hour here in Saigon. Everyone is getting off work about this time 4:30pm.
What's it like??? It's like traffic in Manila, but motorcycles and scooters. Everyone is driving inch to inch and getting in line or out of line to funnel into the streets.
Just look at the ants, when there an army of them. Everyone is fighting to get through traffic. Well, I felt that way here in Saigon. To drive here, where there's more motorcycles & scooters, than cars(I can count a hand full of them). You have to just flow with the traffic, but don't weave in and out. These driver goes with the flow. It's like inertia, moving in one direction.
The problem here is that if someone goes against the grain, that's screw everything or everybody up, and there could be an accident. It seems that it doesn't bother anyone here, b/c they're use to it.
In our country, or westernize countries, there'll be "Road Rage!" People get hurt, beaten up, or killed here. Not here, This is Daily Life, and people do their thing! That's it! That's all you have to do to succeed in life.
"Do your thing, and don't worry about someone else!" Just like Rob, ; )
But Rob's likes sticking his nose into someone else's business! As he was told, by someone! : 0
