Stranded in Chaotic Traffic in Ho Chi Minh City

The coolest thing happened to us today. The green walk sign man turned red unpredictably while we were in the middle of the most busy intersection in Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam. We had just inches around us that wasn’t filled with vehicles, and there was no way we could move even a little. 100 feet around us in every direction was filled with motorbikes all in a rush honking their horns going their separate directions. Something about just sitting still helpless in all of that chaos was really special, and a feeling I’ll never forgot.
