We arrived safely in Ho Chi Minh City this morning. Seeing everything here is so amazing. Scooters....scooters.....everywhere scooters. You look down the street and you just see a sea of helmets!
Right now it is approx 1:00am. We went to bed around 9:00 pm and then we woke up to experience the biggest celebration we have ever seen. Vietnam beat Thailand tonight to become the 2008 AFF Suzuki Cup Champions (Asian Soccer Champions).
We took plenty of video and pics. scooters everywhere flying their flags, beating pots and pans and chanting and cheering. We went down in the mix of things and little children were selling us flags and were so proud to say that Vietnam was #1.
We can not even express this celebration in words. We woke up thinking it was a huge New Year celebration and the people running the hotel explained what was really going on.
We were told that this celebration will continue to the morning hours.......
We love you all and will post again soon!!

Hey Squirt,
Very happy to hear that you made it safely and you're having fun. We love that you got up and went out into the celebration instead of worrying about being woken up. However, We do suggest that you get as much sleep as possible as life is about to change!
We love you,
