note on staying alive in Hanoi

Even though it seems right, even though your instincts are telling you to run, even though your heart is pounding and you think your seconds are numbered, do not, DO NOT run across the street.

How to Cross the Street in Hanoi:

* Step out. Look both ways (one way streets mean nothing)
* Disregard the green walk signs (red lights mean absolutely nothing)
* Begin to slowly walk across
* Do not run
* Do not make sudden movements

If you can do these things, which completely go against most peoples' instincts, and resembles the real life version of Frogger, you will stay alive in Hanoi.
