Vietnam-One Hundred Percent

"Tram Phan Tram!", or literally one hundred percent (hundred per hundred) is the traditional vietnamese exclamation when downing your drink in one gulp. Tonight was our first free night, and the 6 of us chose to spend it at a bar. ended up at a place called "Allez Boo" in the backpacker district. It was not, as I expected, a French-Haunted House themed restuarant, but rather a touristy 3 story place with a hoard of very friendly, flanel wearing waitstaff, who were all too happy to intorduce themselves to you on the street and herd you into their establishment with shouts of "very good" and "happy hour." We did get a deal though (6 free shots of vodka brand vodka), and a great view on the third floor. Not a bad night all in all.
