You know you're a pedestrian in Vietnam when...

1. You feel safer running across the street in front of a bus than a motorbike.
2. You feel as if you are living in that old computer game called "Frogger" everytime you cross the street. (one step forward, stop, back, 3 steps forward, stop, run like heck to the other side and safe)
3. You have to look both ways to cross a one way street because the motorbikes frequently drive down the wrong way.
4. You learn that a red light only means stop when there is traffic on the other road.
5. When walking down the side walks, you have to dodge potholes, street vendors, rolling sidewalks, no sidewalks, and yes, even motorbikes.
