Loreto Fest Saigon 2009

A few more posts from this event will eventually make their way to my adoring public but to keep you satiated here's the best 'fro seen since the Seventies.

Loreto Fest is the biggest live music gig in HCMC and all for a good cause so that makes getting drunk in the open air a good thing. Here are some details.

Fake Mexicans at the Opera House

Sunday the 9th of November, 8:30 am at the top of Le Loi on the steps of the Opera House I spied (well I could hardly miss them) people dressed in sombreros playing vaguely Latin American music. Who? Why? No idea but it fairly brightened up the morning for me.

Here they are from across the road the better to admire the newly refurbished Opera House.



Closer so you can fully appreciate the sombreros.


For some reason windmill salesmen always get in on the act.



And since it's "nearly" Christmas the Santa baloons have been dusted off for another year.



I was starting to think I was getting a little complacent about Vietnam, how wrong can you get?

Frog

Nothing more interesting than a picture of a frog but I was particularly pleased to capture it so clearly.
