Crossing the street in Ho Chi Minh City

Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Perth anymore...

Gone are the wide open spaces - beaches without another soul and roads without another vehicle.  The laid back attitude of Western Australia is long behind me.

In its place - the semi-chaotic world that is Ho Chi Minh City (still Saigon to pretty well everyone who lives here).  There are over 10 million people in HCMC, and as far as I can tell over 20 million scooters and motorbikes.  It has taken a while to become comfortable with some of even the most basic tasks that I normally take for granted, like crossing the street, for instance.  More thoughts later, but for now, a short video clip just to give you a taste of the sights and sounds involved with getting to the other side of the street...
