Cyclo Ride, Hanoi

In a couple places in Vietnam, we took a cyclo ride.  For some reason, I imagined that it would be a relaxing, quiet ride through the town to see the sights.  It was basically anything but.  It was loud, and right in the middle of traffic.  But it was a super interesting way to watch the way that this city works.  Watch this video to see the cyclo crossing through a couple of intersections.  And remember while watching this that the zoom length on the camera I was using (my powershot sd700) was very short.  So when you see, for instance, a bus right in front of me, it's about 2 feet in front of the cyclo.

This is awesome.

Wow! That's awesome. I've heard in Vietnam they don't rent vehicles to foreigners...now I can see why!

that is insane!

Eeeeeeee!

I love overhearing your reaction on the light intersection.

Brilliant! As in Morocco, I'm amazed how the pedestrians don't even flinch when a car or motorcycle comes within centimeters of them; they just carry on.

oy, and just think, they won the war.

Wow, Jen, that's terrific. I feel as if I'm right in the middle of it all.

HA! Who needs traffic lights??!

I'm anxious and dizzy! All those motos, people and noises. I love the woman at the end balancing groceries and shopping bags on the "scaled" baskets.
