On September 2nd, Vietnam celebrates a national holiday that commemorates their official declaration of independence from France in 1945. We decided to join in the revelry.
Saturday brought a procession of activities: a stop at an art talk (
Sa Sa Projects of Phnom Penh), dinner and drinks on Nguyen Thung Truc, dancing the night away at Vasco's with
Unconventional Science and Jase, and late night soup slurping at
Osaka Ramen.
We met Sunday slowly and feebly, but with the help of friends embraced the cool, overcast afternoon. A lunch of delectable Thai at a new-to-us joint on Nguyen Huu Cau, D.1 brought energy and comfort.

Post-meal, we did as the locals do and hung out blissfully and aimlessly in
Tao Dan Park.
The purchase of a ball for some intense ball-games action.
Psychedelic ball kept us occupied for a fun-wracked hour until an untimely demise was met.
On the way home, we stopped, grabbed a refreshing
Dua Tac on Hai Ba Trung, and purchased some festive decorations for the up-coming
Mid-Autumn Festival. I went for the cock and fish.
Our homes are currently occupied by the spirits of our deceased ancestors! Never a lonely minute in Saigon...
