Look Ma, No Hands!

1047435-793525-thumbnail.jpgThere's nothing like a night out drinking in Saigon.  Except for a night out drinking in Saigon that ends on the back of a stranger's motorcycle zipping around the city.

It all started innocently enough with an amazing dinner at Opera in the Park Hyatt.  Who whould have thought we'd have some of the best italain food of our lives while in Vietnam?  We wrapped things up and headed over to Q, a very cool bar/club just across the square.  Here we were entertained by what was, without a doubt, the drunkest girl we've ever seen in a public place.  She fell down at least ten times throughout the night.  The only reason she wasn't kicked out is because she knew the owner, which we found odd since she's from England.  Apparently she has been living here for 8 years.  Anyways, she was so over the top we added her to our There's Always One in the Group section.  Check her out.

Around 1am we decided to call it a night when I was struck with the drunken craving to actually get on one of these motorcycles we'd seen cheating death all day.  You can pay people to take you around similar to how you would take a taxi, so we found a couple of guys and sped off to the hotel.  But the hotel was pretty close, so we had them drive around randomly through the city for about half an hour.  Turns out it is every bit as fun as it looked, and was a definite highlight of the evening.

Hi guys glad to see you are having such a great time, it's certainly been interesting reading though I must admit it makes me wish my trip was now instead of years away.

I laughed at the videos of the traffic in Vietnam and your adventures on the motorcycles and cyclos (sp?) it certainly is an experience one does not forget.

Keep having fun guys!

Can we keep the "there has to be one in the group" going when you get back. Not only is a good way to make fun of annoying people but perhaps people will look at it, take is seriously and we can make a difference in this world.
