Despite being the former capital of Vietnam, Huế is a relatively quiet city. The traffic there may not be as chaotic as in cities like Hanoi, Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and Phnom Penh (Cambodia), but it's still quite a sight. Accidents do occur, just not as many as one would imagine.
I shot this in Huế, near the Citadel
Location of Huế
One of the side roads in HCMC's center.
Saigon is by far the worst when it comes to traffic. Crossing the street in the endless sea of motorbikes is quite an experience. The idea is to slowly move across the street while motorbikes flow around you. (Watch out for buses.)

i watched the video and thought, oh thats not that bad. Then some more time progressed, it really picks up
Damn now i see why they use Motorcycles... Looks pretty chaotic
Every time I hear the word Saigon, I think of the girl that bit off Chris Farley's nose in that one movie...
WOW, that is absolutely crazy. I don't think I would ever want to drive there, motorbike or otherwise
Oh I remember it well. Absolutely crazy, trying to cross the road is like a suicide mission!
ehehe traffic in vietnam sure is wild
Never understood overcrowding in Asian countries. Least endowed group of ppl, sexually, but somehow, pump humans out like maggots.
That is insane. Is it still really called Ho Chi Minh City?
Iam experiencing your world with my mind...

It depends on how seriously you study and what you focus on. I'd say achieving a moderate level of fluency in Korean ought to be faster than with Chinese and Japanese, you can get by in Korean with a few months of practice. However getting *really* good at it (which I'm still not) takes a lot longer. (English is not my first language btw)
Ha ha like most foreign counries, the horn is not under used.
Yeah here in Thailand it's bad, but NO WHERE near as bad as Vietnam.

So many bikes, I'd be afriad to drive anything big like a truck
Crazy!
Real busy!
Holy shit thats crazy. And I thought learning to drive in the UK was hard :Z

Looks a lot like the traffic in the Philippines.
Honking horns is a very important form of communication in traffic like this!
Interesting post. Keep em coming.
Looks like there is order in the chaos :)
I'm surprised how little chaos there is
Doesn't look too crazy at least

No roadlines and they're well organized ! What a discipline.
I don't think I could handle that kind of traffic.
This is crazy! I would hate to live here
Sorta how Sydney is starting to look with so many types of immigrants now livng and trying to drive next to each other!!
Wow,lots of bikes!
So true. I've been to Ho Chi Minh City and it's always like that. Doesn't help that it's really hot there as well.
Holy mo-ped gang, Batman! Awesome idea for a video!
