These are all Chinese new year pictures, tet. It lasts like 4 days.
I’m in a picture with a girl who looks a lot like a vietnamese version of my old room mate, Mayra, in one of them. The picture was taken at “Seventeen Saloon” in District 1 in the “backpacker” part of town where all the tourist are always staying. Seventeen Saloon is the most unique “club” in Saigon providing more like live shows than a club atmosphere. They have 2 seperated levels as the show areas, and in you stay in one area you end up seening two live bands, some dancers, some fire bottle jugglers, and a game show.
There’s also a picture of Kathy and two of her friends on her birthday. Then there is a picture of 4 other girsl, some from NLF church and others from this mostly american chruch out here that meets in different areas. Some of the houses in district 2 (where they once met) were gigantic, like mini modern castles. I wonder how much they cost as they’re relatively in a pretty remote area without many people. I’ll have to go back there and take pictures of these mini house castles…
I wish I could comment on specific pictures! Looks like you had so much fun! I really miss traveling! I can’t believe you still live there. I hope you’re going to Hanoi. I head that it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Post more pictures when you get home!!
Hi Erik,
Nice that you took some pictures to post. It looks like you are having a great time over there. I am glad you are getting out and seeing the rest of the country besides learning the computer.
Was the snow park part of the rest of that Theme Park? I can’t imagine it’s too cold over there for a real snow scene.
Are you back from your trip that you were taking last time we talked?
We can talk when you get a chance..
Have fun!
Love, Dad
