Last week was the local Terry Fox run - I did not participate, but S2 did. Last year there were over 17,000 people who participated. I haven't heard numbers for this year. There were at least 3,176.
Don't come to Vietnam to avoid Black Friday.
Wait a minute! I thought Black Friday had something to do with Thanksgiving. I did go to the mall today. Everything I bought, apart from groceries, was on sale.
Yes, we are embracing Christmas as well.
Advent Calendars
Disney's Magic of Christmas (center stage in the mall - where the yellow happy faces and the Halloween photo shoot was previously)
I didn't get this photo taken quickly enough. The little boy was pointing to Santa just before I took the photo. Yes, how does a Vietnamese father explain who Santa is to his little boy?
Regardless, my favorite mall find this week was Dinosaur World. Yes, you can pay to ride those dinosaurs.
But the highlight of the weekend might have been the rooftop showing of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" that we went to. It was our 2nd date (back in 1981). The showing started at 7:30, thus it was easily my favorite viewing ever, because I was able to stay awake for the whole thing.
None of the previous showings I've been to included the cues on their own screen.
