Well, there's legit no roadkill in say India, and their city roads are unlike anything in Western societies. Cows just lay down in the road and traffic goes around them. It's called awareness and cherishing the sanctity of life. Something we've largely lost in our rat race in the West. In trying so hurriedly to get ahead, it seems we let a lot of things go unattended in the process. Like, prioritizing life over self.
This is like a scene from my nightmares that involve trains coming out of nowhere in the middle of the street.... scary. I could never be comfortable there...always paranoid, anxious and terrified.
Yeah been to Thailand and that part of the world, never going back to that worthless place or similar ones like it. Just like where they built this pure stupidity railroad
I don't use selfie stick but i don't see how an efficient tool for taking photos makes someone bad? Thats like a cowboys calling a train stupid. Yeah sure but I'll see you in 20 years when you cross the country on your wagon. If you make it alive.
@@Ethan2Tone If you're using a selfie-stick, it means you want to capture a photo of yourself and as much of what you're doing as possible. It's narcissistic. A normal person would either take a plain photo, or a normal arms-length selfie. People using selfie-sticks do so because they try to do stupid shit and brag about how stupid they are. The only time a selfie stick is acceptable in my eyes is to take a selfie of a large group of people, like at a family gathering.
This has got to be the smartest idea anyone has ever came up with. “Hey! Let’s put our stores beside this railroad track we’ll bring in so many people!” The people: 🏃🏾♂️🚂

I was born in merica land and I still live here, frankly it's no surprise that there is constant car accidents everywhere (I avoid driving whenever possible because of these idiots that have the audacity to call themselves 'adults'.)

Ok, there's the obvious pedestrian crossing accident waiting to happen (or has happened even), but did no one think of the very real possibility of what if the train derailed and slammed sideways into all those buildings at high speed?
What was there first, the track or the buildings? Either way, why was this considered the best option to take, is there just no room anywhere else for anything?
The track has been there since French Indochina time. During the 90s and 2000s the city expanded with poor regulation from the central government and inventualy like you see today. The government almost shutdown these cafes but as tourism expanded and lots of tourists (mostly European) and locals voted to keep them running that was never happened. P.S when passing the area the train's max speed is limited to 25km/h, so this clip was speeded up
I think it's the sleeper from Hanoi to Ho Chi Mihn. I took this train from Hanoi overnight. I stopped at a few towns along the way but had a 4 person compartment for each trip.
Well, my family do not live that close to the railway, but in a residential area which close to it, but enough to feel the trains on a daily basis. It quite thrilling tbh :0 Sometimes, it is nice to just walk on the railway,if you ignore the addicts at night :0 It’s noisy and all but fun :) But I move out of that area for a while now… Yeh…
