Saw this on another forum. I've seen driven through some crazy euro-roundabouts, but this kind of action would kill me for damn sure. Amazing.

Just looking at the video makes my stomach turn. You've got to have some major balls or skills to drive in that traffic.

What blows me away is that I didn't see one accident throughout that vid. Were it like that here in the states, there'd be at least 20 accidents, no?

I'd sooo get fucken' pwned over there! :?

:shock: that was amazing. i didn't see any accidents either. and i thought i was a pretty good driver.

LOLOL! Jesus Christ, that was anarchy - perfectly orchestrated anarchy. Sometimes the stars align just right.


Btw, that was a tight track. :) Was that Joss Stone? I love that neo-soul twinged hip hop. Then again I'm way more into rock, so I might be blowing tunes out of my butthole. If someone knows what that track is, I'd appreciate the help. :P

Vietnam's new Tourism hook should be:

Discover Vietnam: Where There's a Method to Madness

The interesting part is that you have to walk slowly to get to the other side as you watch hundreds of drivers whiz right by you. I'd be so tempted to run across to safety but doing so might make you road kill. They should have a bathroom stall on every corner in saigon, that way, we can go straight to the can afterwards. That is, if we didn't shit in our pants already.

I'd be sooo friggin' dead! I can hear it on the news over there already:

"Sadly today, another Viet Kieu's life has been prematurely snuffed by a fatal traffic accident. Witnesses at the scene stated that he "screamed like a bitch", before plowing headlong into a Xit Lo. Our condolences to his family...in other news, 20 unique decorating ideas for those left-over fish bones..."

You mean the resort town "Nha Trang". I was born there! :D

Traffic surely couldn't be as bad there as it is in Saigon.

What's the name of that song!!??? I heard it on the radio the other day, but I couldn't catch the name!

[JadeDragon]

I think it's Natasha Bedingfield's "These Words" (she's more pop than soul, though).

yeah Nha Trang that what i meant :D

[Fandango]

And they say asians can't drive. It takes skills to maneuver through constant traffic like that.

That was WILD!!!

I loved it when that guy walked in front of the camera so nonchalantly and then the gal leisurely rides by on her bicycle.

I think in the back somewhere I actually caught a baby crawling by on all fours :shock: .
