On Thursday night we went out to karoke for Leigh's last night in My Tho. Except the cab didn't take us to karoke. It took us to a bar called "Friendship". We decided what the hell and walked in. None of us were dressed or prepared for what we saw. As soon as we walked in security escorted us to a table upstairs and before you knew it a bottle of whiskey (which I happily passed on) and glasses were put in front of us. Fruit trays were put in front of us. Soon we were surrounded by two waiters and heaps of security. They were lighting people's ciggarettes. They were pouring drinks. Crazy techno music was blaring. We looked to the stage in the middle of the club downstairs and there were two dancers dressed as slutty air pilots. They had on blue pilot hats, a half blue top and a tiny skirt that they had to keep pulling down from exposing their black undies. They danced ridiculously! It was a combination of dancing like people who didn't know how to dance, humping and trying unsuccessfully to be sexy. When they were done astonishing us, break dancers took over the stage. Then Mr. Lin arrived and it was our turn to take the stage as he forced us all to dance. Frank picked up a lovely lady who he ran away from. When we asked him why he said he heard horror stories about picking up ladies in these countries. Later he was out on the dance floor dancing with her again and they started kissing. Eventually one of her friends came on stage and told Frank she was going too far and that she was a prostitute. Poor Frank was horrified! Later, the same girl was really drunk and was dancing like a crazy (comb comb ding ding= vietnamese word). Dave and Will hopped on stage and began mocking her every dance move. Will had a really hard time mocking her infamous boob shake. The security loved it and gave Dave their hat. The whole bar was laughing hysterically. It was quite good. Oh the clubs here in My Tho. Always an interesting night I must say.
This morning I taught at the school and I got to take over the class for a bit which was really fun and the class was really good for how old they were. I'd say they were the ages 5 -7. we learned about the weather and north, south, east and west.
After class, Miss Moon took us out for a night lunch. It was at this place with beautiful gardens and waterfalls. We had more of the fish spring rolls.
Tonight, all of the volunteers and myself are heading into Ho Chi Minh City for two days and then Riley and I are going to the beaches of Phan Thiet for another two days.
Now I must answer all of my emails from students who have emailed me saying "Hey Lady...." and numerous questions to practice english.
