Globetrotting with a Fork and a Conscience

Book Cover & Preview Text
The traffic in Ho Chi Mihn City was unbelievable. I have never seen anything remotely close to it. Chaos! Everyone, whether aboard a cyclo, bike, car, motorbike, truck, bus, or on foot, is moving at their own pace and according to their own agenda. No one has any concern for anyone else, or so it seems. Acting in a very reactive manner, everyone makes the appropriate adjustments and diversions to avoid colliding with vehicles, pedestrians, and whatever else they may encounter on the road. Miraculously, people continue to move amid the bedlam. My first cyclo ride in Saigon taught me more than I ever could have imagined. Whether you are walking or are a passenger in some type of vehicle, you continue to make one move after another until the pandemonium doesn’t seem to faze you. It is of no importance what direction you are heading or what side of the road you think you should be on. The vehicles and people just move and there are no rules. I expected to see collisions and people flying off of motorbikes, but I only saw traffic moving at a snail’s pace. Is crossing the street and walking in Saigon dangerous? Yes, but you have no choice unless you want to sit in your hotel or only stray a few blocks from it.
