What
NOT TO DO in Ho Chi Minh City
1.
Don’t step back once you start crossing a street. It doesn’t matter how many
hundreds of motorbikes are coming towards you or how suicidal your act looks,
don’t hesitate or step backwards, just keep crossing and the traffic will flow
around you. NOTE: this does not apply to cars, only motorbikes!
2.
Don’t carry your valuables around with you (jewellery, cameras, etc.). And if
you do, take good care of them. There are real stories about people on
motorbikes passing you at high speed and snatching your camera or shoulder bag.
3.
Don’t wear skimpy clothing. Unless you want to attract scornful looks from the
locals.
4.
Don’t point your finger directly at a statue or a painting in a Temple or
Pagoda. It is considered disrespectful.
