Almost information is on the
internet or you can get it through the traveling company. However, what I wanna
show you is “What you must face when you decide to travel to Hanoi” and
“How to Survive in Hanoi”.
Whoever, not only the foreign people
but the local people feel like “cannot breathe anymore” when they are walking
on Street of Hanoi. The problem here is
how to cross the road! It is seem very funny, right? I think someone who is
reading this blog will laugh or sniggered. But it is serious problem when you
travel in Hanoi. If you don’t know how to cross the road in Hanoi, you are
going to die!
Hanoi is not like the other
countries where you can cross the road base on the traffic light. In Hanoi,
when the traffic light is blue, you still meet the difficulty to cross the
road. The best way to cross the road in Hanoi is follow some local people.
However, if at that time there isn’t anyone cross the street, you want to
follow this guide:
Step one: Make sure you have enough
view on the left and right
Step two: Make sure there aren’t Bus
and taxi around you (Bus and taxi in Hanoi run so fast, they really don’t care
about you or anyone cross the road coz they have the insurance Lol)
Step three: Put your hand up (Left
or Right even Okay, if you want you can put both Haha ^^!). Walk careful to
cross the road, if there is a motorbike or a car is going so close to you, be
smooth and keep walking slowly! In that time, if you afraid of it, you going
backwards or run too fast to cross the road will take you to the hospital as
fast as you run.
Remember that: This guide look like a
joke or comedy, but it’s not. Make sure you note it before join the traffic
in Hanoi!
Hanoi is a beautiful city with many
traditional foods and places, the local people are very kind, but traffic!
I will come back soon to let you
know “How to drive motorbike in Hanoi”.
