Hanoi Traffic

Crossing the street in Vietnam is an aquired skill...you have to have NO FEAR and push yourself through on coming traffic... You should be fine if you cross slowly but confidently

    I been to Hanoi, as well as Saigon, i would have to say Hanoi, is much more of a relaxing view, while Saigon is more of a classic night life of fun eating, and partying.

    Danger wise? When visited Hanoi for 3 weeks, I lived near by a highschool, in which, huge mass of teens, calling for back up, to probaby up to 28 year olds come and fight too. These groups sometimes swelled up in rumbles of several hundreds, machete matches are often, and sometimes you would even hear gun shots. But gunshots are often of smaller .22, in which still the viet-Comm comes in and demand answers, far worst than the u.s. and probably any other country

    I would have to say if it were not for the even more cunning, organized, and action thirsty government, Vietnam would had been worst than mexico.
