I've been in Vietnam for almost a week and the part some foreigners may worry about the food or even the language. Naw Brah, that's the least of your worries. You need to be able to walk on the streets and more importantly be able to cross the street in one piece.

Thanks to some of my favorite Youtuber's @OnePackWanderers and @LisaAndJosh . They have given explicit instructions on how to cross the mean streets of Ho Chi Minh City.

Now by no means do I consider myself an expert. There are only a few steps to follow.
#1 When approaching a crosswalk forget everything you learned in your country. Those rules do not apply here at all.
#2 You have to remain calm and don't panic. Seriously watch how everyone else cross the streets and I'd go so far to say tag along with them. STAY CLOSE!!

#3 Do Not Stop!! This is the one time in life you have to stay committed to what you doing. Not like a Relationship, hairstylist or mother-in-law you can quit and change your mind. You cannot go back and do not stand still.

#4 Your in it to win it. Keep your pace crossing and don't get anxious in the end. You will find that the scooters will go around you. It's poetry in motion. 🤔

#5 Almost forgot dot stop breathing 😳. No need in you passing out and falling. Watch your step because there are plenty of hazards on the streets.

Now we will come back with another video on how to walk on the public sidewalks(streets) and not get clobbered by a scooter. If I can cross it you can too.
