Women"s Day in Vietnam

Monday, March 8th was Women's Day here. On Saturday I was in my next door market and wondered why they were putting together baskets with shampoo and bath gel, etc. Valentine's day was over and its a long way until next Christmas. Then I noticed the carts with flowers everywhere. Well I had to go to the medical clinic here on Monday and after the visit I was given a rose for Women's day. Then as we were walking back to the bank we made a pit stop at one of the few Gloria Jean's and they were having a buy one get one for 50% off on there drinks but only for the ladies. Everywhere we went in town people were saying happy womens day. I had not seen this many flowers since Tet. FLowers and shampoo what else would a woman want???
