Last night I was driving Masato to Finnegan's Irish Pub, so we could participate in Quiz night. But driving along Nguyen Trai Street was not an easy feat. You see, people were basically rioting in honor of another winning soccer game. I have to take Nguyen Trai street to get to where I was going, but what happened was that at every intersection, every single intersection we stopped. The crowd of motorbikes just stopped, held up the traffic/traffic lights for 2-3 minutes, while screaming "VIETNAM, VO DICH" and singing a song that I assume was some kind of soccer song. On the left, you can see a guy standing on a motorbike banging a drum. Everyone was screaming and honking and waving flags. This was like 10:00 at night too... Police were everywhere around the city, but they couldn't do anything about it. Too many people. I saw one guy get thrown off his bike by a cop because he took a road block and threw it to the side. The police tried to road block all major streets, but there was no stopping excited Vietnamese youth.
