Day 71 Tues 11/6
We woke up and ran around the big lake, located in the middle of the city. The city is one big car accident waiting to happen. The number of traffic lights in the huge city can be counted on one hand and the attitude of drivers is do what you can to make it to the road you need. There is no such thing as a one way street nor a rude honk, the honk is used so commonly, it's regarded as normal. Look both ways before crossing the street is a joke in Hanoi. To cross the street you simple step in front of a bus and leave it to them to avoid hitting you. Pedestrians don't really get honked at as much as honking at other cars. Maggie and I crossed a street at a busy five way intersection, totally mauling right through the middle, no assessment of street conditions needed. On Wednesday, we are leaving on a three day cruise of Halong Bay.
