A look at traffic in Saigon.


This is the most amazing video I've seen on the net in a long time.

From a hardcore 2 wheeled vehicle loving perspective, the sheer numbers of them is dizzing enough.

But it is the glaring fact that the whole concept of personal space and it's group-in-motion corollary, traffic flow has evolved in a completely different manner that had me laughing out loud in suprise.

Think "school of noxious fume emitting fish" or "sudden death everywhere".

Just when you think it can't get any better, the camera pans down to some vietnam vet that the US maimed 30 years ago, paddling his hand-powered tricycle against the flow in the foreground.

tell me it's a small world after watching this video.

I know you think driving in england or japan would be a challenge, but you could deal with the whole mirror opposite thang.

well, check out driving in the 'nam.

off the frickin' hizzle, man.

Dude,
That is absolutely freakin crazy. Its like watching two rivers converge, and the water just flows into each other.

Or watching flocks of birds instantly change direction for no apparent reason.

And that there are bikes mingled with mopeds mingled with motorcycles mingled with cars and vans and friggin BUSES!!!

Absolutely mind boggling.
