Night at the Olympic

I went back to the Olympic Club last night with Katie & two of our students. This is the closest thing to a dance club I've found in Vietnam, although there is no dance floor. The place is crowded with bar tables & the music is pumping. It's impossible to have a conversation, so you just dance around your table & drink.

There are security guards everwhere & photos are not allowed. The above photo was taken in July before I was politely told to put the camera away.

A "club girl" (read: working girl) hung out at our table most of the evening, pouring our beers & flirting with our Vietnamese friends. At the end of the evening, one of our Vietnamese friends tipped the woman 50,000 dong (=$2.75). We stayed out until the wee hour of 12:30am.
