Caffeine vs. Calories

It's a game of Frogger! ..with a little less splat.

Yes; while there a couple of years ago we were told to essentially: 1) close our eyes and, 2) walk at a constant pace NO MATTER WHAT. 2) allows the millions of scooters to anticipate and avoid you as you cross. 1) is the only thing that allows for 2). Ear plugs and a rosary help, too.

My kids can do that. It's a useful life skill all over the world.

Reminds me of when I was stationed in Naples Italy many years ago. The key was to watch the vehicles out of the corner of your eye. Then just step out into the traffic. If a driver makes eye contact they will not stop. First few times were fairly tough on the nerves but it got real easy after some practice. The drivers always stopped just in time with no horns blaring. That in itself was strange for Neapolitans! GGG

It looks fake to me; the focus is way too sharp on the guy, the colors too vibrant; just doesn't look right.

I agree that it must be a fake. I've never experienced anything like this so it can't be real. It is very colourful and sharp and he is a caucasian which is the real give away. It's Vietnam! No Europeans have ever been there! Not to mention the pixels. Someone has spent a lot of time and energy faking this. Who cares why? I can now continue my life secure in the knowledge that things I am incapable of imagining can't exist. Phew!

That's how we cross the street in the Philippines. But that talent does not translate to crossing the street here in the US. People freak out when you attempt to cross in the same manner.
