[travel] Bad action movie cliches

[mattbell]

Motorbiking in urban Vietnam is like a bad action movie chase scene cliché. As the protagonist and various villains are zipping along the street, a garbage truck pulls in, blocking half the road. As everyone moves to get around it, a child suddenly darts into the street, chased by her mother. Then, an oblivious old lady begins crossing a bit further down, carrying a long pole with various items dangling from it. Getting around her would be no problem except that there's now a truck coming the other direction and a bus passing it by driving into the lane of the oncoming traffic, and there's a huge pothole on the shoulder of the road where you'd normally pull over, and what is that rock doing in the middle of the road...

This would make a fantastic videogame.
