While walking the streets of Pleiku we got invited in to join a family gathering. The Vietnamese love to drink and they don't sip, it's a cheers and chug culture. Between toasts we were fed local cuisine and once we had a decent buzz going the strongest guy decided it was time to arm wrestle. After an hour, six beers apiece and a thorough exploration of the crowds limited English, Adam and I said our good-byes, the women started clearing the tables and carpet of beer cans as the boys hopped on their motorbikes to go back to work. Vietnam!
