Peds and riders here could benefit from some street experience in South East Asia :)
The ped always moves forwards, at a predictable pace, and the traffic always passes behind them. Everyone knows which way to move.
But don't ever, ever stop or step backwards while crossing the road over there!
The "rabbit in the headlights" reaction - freezing and giving the impression you might jump in either direction at any moment - is terrifying to face, and pretty common here :(

Small world! Apparently ped looked straight at rider then they did the thing where they both move in the same direction
