[QUOTE=Annalisa12;26613461]Watch the traffic for a bit then just slowly start to walk across the road. Bikes will go around you. Don't dart through traffic or run. They will see you. Or, stand near some locals and go when they go.

The key is NOT to change you pace as you cross. Bikes are good at adjusting
if walkers don't surprise them. The first time I crossed the street, our guide
took my arm, told me to close my eyes and just walk at a steady pace.
