Ok, so I think I've finally figured out how it all works over here.
1. My dad owns the road. I needn't bother with traffic lights or road lanes.
2a. If car driver: Motorcycles are small and should get out of everyone else's way.
2b. If motorcyclist: I am small and can evade traffic easily by weaving in and out of it.
3a. If non-pedestrian: Refer to rule no. 1.
3b. If pedestrian: Refer to rule no. 1.

Ok. So first I said you'd never catch me driving in Hanoi. That night itself, I rode at the back of a motorcycle for the first time. Today, I thought I'd try my luck and cycle around Hanoi. I know, I know. I have absolutely no idea how it happened. I rented a cheap bike, so cheap that it had no gears and the brakes were not working. Despite risking my life, I was forced to cycle really slowly and got to take in bits of Hanoi I'd never otherwise see. That said, I must've used up all eight of my lives (if that's even possible).
