Traffic Jam

Here we have another of the many traffic jams which seem to tie up Hanoi during the daytime. Notice the strange mix of automobiles, scooters, cyclists and pedestrians. Okay, maybe you don’t see a lot of automobiles, but they are there, hidden among the mass of humanity. Some people say that the rise in the number of automobiles in Hanoi has caused the traffic jams. I’ve heard people say that the traffic jams weren’t there until the cars started using the steets in larger numbers. Thank God for prosperity, right?
