I've done a lot of partying since I've been here.
And I think that's why so many expats visit Ho Chi Minh City and then decide to stay for 2, 3, or 4 years. I've met a lot of those. While I find regularly myself feeling smothered by this crazy city, I'm good at keeping my spirits up and making lots of friends. If I don't, I know I'll grow too homesick and miss Ryan too much. Call it a distraction, whatever, I'm having fun regardless.
One of my first weekends here I went to this Saigon pool party with somebody I met on couchsurfing. I got drunk off of three beers because I'm a pussy. It was like a party you'd find in Las Vegas, with tons of foreigners and natives alike who all shared a mutual love for ridiculous, rambunctious binge drinking and dancing. I was home here.
I found a few better photos from their facebook page that are pretty sweet
Really glad I got in one off these!
Seriously SO MUCH FUN. I'm a crazy girl always out for a wild time, so I was totally in my element.
I've had a handful of experiences like that here in HCMC. They're really not that hard to find, this city seems to be the ideal place for partiers alike. Thank God I have this kind of stuff to keep me entertained, in addition to all the fun couchsurfers who are willing to take me to these places.
Another one of the bigger partying events actually happened yesterday! I find it ironic how I posted this short, semi-depressing piece about how it sucks being here sometimes and then a few hours later I was greeted with one of the funnest nights of my life. Oh, and hey get this I was SOBER the whole time. Even when I danced on the bar (where everybody proceeded to cheer for me, might I add. #humblebrag)
Lush Club had their 10th anniversary party and it. was. insane.
Nam tried to get a photo of me on the bar and failed at it.
They had a raffle and gave away 30liter bottles of vodka, guys.
