Live Game of Frogger

After Hoi An, Marsh, Kristina, and I headed for Hanoi.  Hoi An was a peaceful, quiet little town.  Five minutes into walking around Hanoi, though, and I felt like I had been dropped into a real-life version of the game Frogger I used to play on the Nintendo Gameboy.

So many bikes
Similar to Ho Chi Minh, the asphalt in the roads of Hanoi can sometimes barely been seen through the swarm of motorbikes crowding an intersection.  Red lights sometimes appear to either be not seen or ignored completely.

Watch the toes when standing on the edge of the sidewalk in Hanoi!  Sometimes motorbike drivers wanting to make a right turn skip the road all together and drive on the sidewalks.


It's a crazy game of chicken for the drivers - and a real-life game of Frogger for tourist pedestrians like us!


You'll see so many babies (and dogs) on motorbikes...wildly unsafe - but SUPER cute
