Peculiar Sights in Hanoi
31 January 2008
As I was happily strolling along the streets of Hanoi, I just couldn’t stop asking myself, “Why are there so many cables and wires along the electricity posts?”
Seriously, I was wondering which are telephone cables, and which cables belong to the electricity?
I just couldn’t see the traffic light at the tree from afar.
Amazing!
When I was about to cross the street at Old Quarters, Hanoi, I realized the motorbike-dominated traffic went chaotic each time they were at any crossroads.
Worst still, if there is a traffic light at the crossroad, they just couldn’t care less whether it was a red or a green light.
They will just zoom across as long as there is enough space for them to squeeze in between the other motorists.
The traffic light is hidden so far up in the tree!!!
How do you expect the motorists to stop at the crossroad???

Gracie, enjoyed your journals , from your writings and your pictures its hard to spot the difference between you and the folks from hanoi coz you just sounded and seem so Vietnam!
anyhow love the traffic , it feels like everyone is so bonded lol and the lights on the trees i believe tarzan’s mating season is approaching so they had to stop him from being so aggressive towards poor jane
helmets in a flower shop, that’s cool …a bouquet of helmets pls…how romantic, now i’ve got da ultimate idea for valentines
the bar’s name is cute, maybe they serve beer wit dog’s pee wee innit, the police officers seem so gay, perhaps they are, pardon me if i would like to intrude but reptiles in a bottle isn’t that special, try visiting bangkok guys with inability to perform would grease their engines by consuming the balls of a tiger
guys and gals with the curiosity to feast on wild meat , try machap baru … wild bats, fox, porcupines, lizards and tigers..yummy!

Kev: I believe when you visit Vietnam in near future, your eyes will drop out in shock!!!
Gerald: I think if the law enforcers try to make the motorists to abide the traffic rules, MORE accidents will happen!!
Nicholas: Hey Nic, thanks for dropping by at my site. Yes, I wonder if they serve any alcoholic beverage that comes from the DOG regarding that bar!! Hahahaa…. But I am not a fan of wild stuffs as u mentioned…. i felt geeeleeee!!!
