Crossing the Street

The First Step is a Doozy
One other place that I am reminded of - Bombay. Why? The traffic - it flows like water - never a break. To cross the street is a task of mind over matter. You simply have to step out into it and let it flow around you. You're actually better off not looking, to be honest. Sounds counterintuitive but it makes sense - if you look too much you tend to stop walking and this is not a good move. The bikers anticipate that you'll keep moving and plan their paths accordingly. How long would it take you to step out?
