Slice of Life – Vietnam part 2

Slice of Life – Vietnam part 2SLiceoflife2 1 » Roaming Sparrow » 2024Vietnam is one crazy place. The best way I can describe it is that perhaps it is like a schoolyard.

No one wants to be the one that breaks the rules, but some do, some don’t care. Vietnam is like one big schoolyard with many unspoken rules and unsaid understandings.

I know there are driving rules; I know there are methods and ways you should drive… there are operating rules and such… but, I get the feeling more people don’t take the tests, but they all follow these rules.

On the topic of roads, here is a bridge where the middle section of the bridge collapsed, and both sides of the bridge were blocked off, however, the locals just chipped through the blockades, then built this mini bridge over the collapsed part. So smart!
