How about working in traffic?

Hochiminh is a bustling city. There's life and activity on every corner and along every block. And there's plenty of traffic to and fro to bring activity to every block. Traffic is a feature of the city. It's written about in papers and magazines. And its talked about on television. So it really wasn't a surprise to see this photo/video shoot going on down the centerline of a four lane road entering/exiting a busy traffic circle. It wasn't a surprise but it was still worthwhile to stop, watch and shoot the action, from the safety of the curb.

  1. I have been watching your traffic videos. Have you done any of the driving?

    You will come back here and get a ticket for sure!

  2. I have been afraid that the "camera" will be shown flying up in the air on one of these videos and show you below it on the ground....

  3. I have done a tiny bit of the driving. About 2km a day ago. Think of Christmas day traffic, not weather, almost no vehicles on the street. Really quiet streets, no trucks, cars, taxis, 3-wheelers. So I drove us back from picking up some groceries. Three right hand turns and no intersections to cross.

    Went without a hitch!
