The Simple Life.....

Living in Canada my entire life, I feel privileged to have grown up in a safe and clean environment. However, thanks to my parents I was given the opportunity to travel to some pretty cool destinations and this allowed me to view different lifestyles from all over. Certain countries scared me a bit, while others made me second guess what the hell I was doing in Ottawa!! Nonetheless, everytime I came back home from a vacation I was always so thankful for living in Ottawa. Instead of wishing my city had 'this' or had 'that', it just allowed me to appreciate how diverse and unique every other city was throughout the world.

The following is a time-lapse video showing the harmonious nighttime traffic flow in Hanoi at an intersection without any traffic lights. Watch this video as people respect each other's direction and are able to safely make it to wherever it is they're going. After watching this video it made me realize that this would never fly in Canada, but makes Hanoi seem that much cooler!
