I learned this （58） I was standing on a curb (路边) in a city in Vietnam (越南). My objective, a restaurant where my husband Tom was （59） for me, stood on the （60） side of the street, I was （61） and could smell the food. But it seemed as if the restaurant were miles away. The street was （62） with motor cycles, bicycles, cars, trucks and buses. Rather than （63） the traffic into two lanes, the yellow lane markers apparently served only to （64） that you were on a paved (铺设的) road. People passed,stopped, turned around and crossed center lines.
Traffic flowed both ways in the same lane, and more traffic turned onto the street from side ones. Even when the signal tight turned red, traffic （65） to flow as drivers entirely （66） the signal, rushing to me from front, back, sides and all angles.
I was ready to abandon lunch with Tom when a local gentleman （67） my arm. In English, he kindly said, “Crossing the street is not a problem, （68） a dance.” With that we stepped （69） the curb and into the chaos (混乱). My heart （70） faster as we walked slowly across. （71） greeting us with sharp horns and angry shouts, drivers saw and adjusted to us. As long as we made no sudden （72） , we were fine. I felt as if we were gracefully swimming （73） a school of fish. The traffic flowed smoothly around us, in all directions. （74） I knew it, we were across.
Learning to dance through the chaos of traffic is just （75） your feelings. It's a combination of intention, timing and trust.
