On a motorbike in Hanoi, Vietnam

Vietnam is the country of motorbikes! You have 2 options on the roads in Vietnam. You can try to cross the road on foot with your life at risk or just rent a motorbike and join the lovely mess! Do follow the new law and wear a helmet!
If you don't want to rent a motorbike you will have people that will ask you were they can drive you for a dollar. If you  say that you just want to walk, they will look strange on you and say: Why??
