"Sticky Rice"

Comment from Marianne:

One of Huy's lessons to our group, on our first day in Hanoi, was how to be a pedestrian. Here's the lesson:

"Motorcycles NEVER stop for pedestrians. So...

• Totally ignore motorcycles.
• Move slowly across the street.
• Never run.
• Once you step off the curb, never turn back.
• If you stay together as a group you become a "recognizable force."
• When I say 'sticky rice' I want you to stick together tightly as a group.
• If you are alone and trying to cross a street, the best way is to walk across with a local."

We have used Huy's "sticky rice" method successfully so far.
