Vietnam

[rrr2015]

they are usually more careful than JB motorists.yes u need to learn how to jaywalk with confidence in Vietnam, learn by watching how locals do it …

Traffic is no joke in the evening.

Just realise that Vietnam is a motorcycle country, fiercer than crossing Singapore/JB customs.

Crossing Vietnam road can't compare as sg or jb. If you don't dare to cross, then you will never be able to cross the road.

have to be careful nonetheless. motorbikes will typically siam and go behind ur path but some motorbikes see u crossing still die die want to ride in front of ur path. i usually still wait for a clearer path then cross. don't geh kiang see so many bikes (example just green light) still cross "confidently".

 

[rrr2015]

of coz still be careful. what i mean by "confidently" is being decisive. imagine u think clear to go & suddenly decide no go repeatly. it's hard for motorbikes to know if u are crossing or not as to know how to avoid

on busy streets, it's hard to find a moment of clear path. so i just have to wriggle thru the traffic.

the other kind "confidently" you can find in SG. some sg pedestrians just cross the street without lookout for oncoming traffic, like they are king/queen of the road. lolz

Yes, don't need to worry. The rider will go around you, you would not get a nasty horn like in Singapore.

How is the Covid 19 situation in HCMC right now ? I'll be flying over for a friend's bachelor party tomorrow until the 23rd.

also don't play play tho. i got one friend he ride bike, green light but the bike in front of him not move, so he horn. but his horn a bit loud cos he ride big bike, the person chua tio and end up want to argue and fight him. after find out he foreigner, got even more aggressive.

moral of story, everywhere also have ******. just be careful.

so far so good for hcmc. some malls are quieter than usual but the touristy spots still have quite a lot of people. Vinh Phuc province in the north where it is near the China border has been quarantined off (around 10,000 people).

but do take precaution nonetheless for ur own safety. avoid crowded places. wash your hands regularly. mask supply situation is the same as singapore, everywhere cannot find. other than that, have a great time for your friend's bachelor party.

Not those nasty one like what you get in Singapore for sure!

That's right. They don't horn like no tomorrow!

In Singapore, we too entitled to our roads. People horn a bit but we think they looking for a fight. So in actual, it's not that we get nasty horns in Singapore, but rather road users are too entitled in general where everyone thinks they have the right of way, or they have more rights to the road than others.
