So far I love it. I too am an American living here in HCMC. I am better with my anger in traffic now but I am still prone to lose it. I don't even know how to drive a moterbike yet. My wife drives me everywhere. I sit on the back of the moterbike and say a few prayers everytime we go out. I have found myself on a few occasions yelling and cussing at some of the suicidal/homicidal drivers. Of course they don't understand what I'm saying but they probably get the idea through my body language. Hahaha. There are no real rules over here when it comes to traffic. It just seems like everybody has a death wish. I have always thought of traffic over here as "organized chaos" if that makes any sense. My wife gets angry with me when I get so bent out of shape in traffic. She just dont get what I am so upset about. The traffic madness is just normal to her. Wll, just wanted to share that with a fellow american. Thanks. And be careful out there. They will run you down and not blink an eye. I am new to your website. So far I love it.

You have four stages with the traffic: 1) Amazement and wonder. 2) Initiation and integration. 3) Horror, disgust, frustration. 4) You move. It’s a rite of passege when living in HCMC.
