Merry Christmas Vietnam

Vietnam won some Asian soccer cup and HCMC went crazy. The funny thing is, on a world level Vietnam is as close to the bottom as you can get without actually hitting it. Anyways, this event coincided with Christmas Eve so there was tacky tinsel and lights up everywhere as half the city filled the streets chanting VI ET NAM over and over again all while waving giant Vietnamese flags. We took to the streets to watch the mayhem, chant along with the crowd as well as spray and get sprayed by cans of foam everyone was selling on the street. Next thing I know we are eating Pho, a traditional Vietnamese soup, at 4am from some street vendor. A Christmas to remember for sure.
