My trip to the grocery store tonight...

On my way to the grocery store I have to cross a major road that has a pedestrian crosswalk, but no traffic light. I often think "this is crazy!" as I cross the street, sometimes I get angry, and more often I just wish I had the camera. So tonight I grabbed the camera so you can see first-hand what my journey looks like. Please step into Hanoi traffic with me and enjoy! By the way, I have been wanting to film this ever since we got to Hanoi. Christian just beat me to the punch with that great video he found online a week ago.

Crossing the Street in Hanoi

I found this online and felt this short movie does a pretty good job of showing the real situation we encounter every day when crossing the street in front of our house. I especially like the hip cam so you can understand why Jennie likes to start singing the frogger theme song every time we head outside. It is even more crazy near the Embassy and traffic seems to be getting worse every day now that school is back in session.
