    .. the horror of Hanoi's traffic

    .. ahh, finally got a nicer shot on the perfect navigation and anti collision traffic system in Vietnam .. enjoy! I caught this on my way back today, and do pardon the jerkiness again. Notice how we dive across a very very busy cross junction during peak hour, and with bikes and cars alike dashing across, sideways, and behind us. We made it through, without a single scratch. Next chance i have, i'm gonna tear a bike apart to see whether there is some kind of high end anti collision system inside .. or perhaps, the secret lies in their helmet .. i do notice that everyone wears the turle shell type of crash helmets .. but our driver is not wearing one, how is this explainable ??

    .. i think, and i do seriously mean so, that the secret lies in the horns. The horns acts like a bats ultra sonic system, sending ultra sonic waves to objects and then calculates the distance and size. Vietnamese drivers had evolved in such way that their brain is attuned to processing the horns like a bat, and reacting, channeling this inhuman energy to their vehicle. Soon enough, i am going to learn their secret and drive like them. Imagine me .. going across a busy traffic junction in KL on a Monday morning .. hehehe ..

    No wonder, Vietnam is called "The cradle of mankind", it all begins here, and i am glad i am here where it all started ..
