Video of the Day: Traffic in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietman
Everyone I know who has spent any time in Vietnam has bemoaned how challenging it is to cross the streets there. It's like a game of Frogger, but the stakes are much higher. This time lapse shows just how chaotic and frenetic the streets of Ho Chi Minh City actually are. The number of motorbikes along is staggering. Add to that roundabouts, limited traffic signage and pedestrians and you have yourself some organized chaos. We recommend that you look both ways (heck, look up and down while you're at it) before crossing the street.

It maybe organized chaos, but to me it is one of the many offbeat charms the city has. Trust me , when you step into the street you will not be harmed. The sea of motorbikes will work around you, just keep moving. The cars, trucks and buses, well that is another matter. How do I know, well, I just completed my third trip.

Everyone who has visited Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam knows part of the magic (love it or hate it) is in the traffic. Ever since I first set foot in HCMC I have been captivated by the cities energy. Saigon is a city on the move unlike anything I have experienced before which I wanted to capture and share at http://www.saigontravelshow.com/ho-chi-minh-attractions.html
