Say your prayers

Crossing Vietnamese streets:

So now that we’ve toned our abs, tightened our thighs, curled our arms and strengthened our wrists, it is time for a real world application.


One of the things Vietnam is famous for , I’ll refrain from saying some of the other things it is famous for, but one is crossing the busy streets of the northern city Hanoi or the Southern delta city of Ho Chi Mihn (Saigon).


It can be classified under,
“highly dangerous”
“life threatening”
“stronger than coffee” or
“avoidable.”
Well so can sky-diving, and I’ve done that! So on it is…to cross the streets of Hanoi.

If you watch the video below you’ll get an idea of the challenge awaiting me on my trip….

So now that you’ve seen some rando tourist crossing the street. Please picture me in my rainbow afro hat and bikini crossing the street.

 

Alright, you don’t have to do that, but you get the idea…

So I asked a friend at work who has been to Vietnam a few times, how do I prepare for this?!

His suggestion --> take a bright red ball, throw it across the I-5, and if you can retrieve the ball successfully, you can cross the streets in Vietnammmm!

So if you see a blur figure of a woman on the 5 tonight around 7:30, don’t worry! And try to SWERVE!!!!

Wish me luck!!!
