Rock, Scissors, Paper, Hammer, Hole

The vietnamese can't resist adding songs to games.

The song you sing when playing rock, scissors, paper goes like this: "Mot, hai, ba- ra cai gi? ra cai ngay!" (one, two, three- what you got? I got this!)

And also for some reason they added a hammer and a hole. the hammer crushes the rock, but falls in the hole. the rock falls in the hole, and i suppose so do the scissors. The paper covers the hole and the rock....

So don't pick scissors, cause all you can do is cut paper, apparently.

My Singing

This melody is great. I like My's taste in mid-century vietnamese torch songs.

Digging In

Yes, I'll be here for a while. But My is planning to visit in October, so get in line. You will be obliged (lucky) to patronize her beautician skillz and eat some damn good vietnamese food.
