Evening Out

Last night we attended a Christmas Event. Before we arrived we decided that we needed to eat. Whenever we are in District 1 Mark always wants pizza. This time it was a Pizza Hut in the Mall. As I explained in my previous posts they go all out here at Christmas. The Hostess and waitresses all were dressed up in Santa outfits. You can even purchase, right on the streets little Santa outfits for the kids. So cute. After dinner we proceeded to the stadium where the event was being held. It was packed. On our way in we were introduced to a famous Vietnamese singer who had become a believer last year. I did not catch his name but we got a photo. They began with Christmas Carols in English and Vietnamese and then as the speaker was in the middle of his talk, it began to rain, I, being the well prepared person that I am had my umbrella up and ready to go, but we were told, that the speaker said that it would stop in a minute and guess what, it did!! People were clapping. They ended the message with an alter call and as in the previous night, hundreds went up. Much is happening here and we get to see it.
We ended our evening with a long taxi ride home. Last week when we returned from an evening out we had the taxi driver from hell. He would go head on with traffic and had no regard for anyone. It scared our friend to death. Last night we had the tortuous. He was so cautious that we were ready to get out and push him along. You just never know what you will get. Potluck !!
