Caught Me A Water Buffalo!

Since the day before i failed miserably finding a nice water buffalo we went out again to find some more where silly Vietnamese communists can't get all up in our faces.

Wasn't long until we found some more water buffalo! These were some real water buffalo with long horns and the whole shabang.
The first herd we saw were kind of hard to get to so after taking some video and pictures we went up the road further to another herd that were grazing.
Can't say you've been to Vietnam without riding a water buffalo! So i asked the guy if i could hop on one of these bad boys. Sadly, the water buffalo doesn't like lazysons so he was trying to get rid of me. The owner thought maybe if i got on the water buffalo by myself he wouldn't mind...but no. It was even worse. It didn't help that we were on a hill either so i fell after riding it for like 30 seconds. i'm no cowboy that's for sure...more like a rodeo clown, lemon.
There is like nothing to hold on to on these things. i tried grabbing the horns but he didn't like that and i almost got impaled. When i fell off the thing i fell into a nice thorn bushel and cut up my feet and legs. But no regrets, next time i'm wearing pants and getting one of these things in an open field. Also i might feed it some carrots or something before hand to befriend it.
Later in the day we grabbed some drinks at our dessert place.
Lam is so funny, spoiled, but funny.
The church by the house was had some kids practicing some choreography for the christmas service going down in a couple of days. The choreographer was totally gay. Like...i've never seen someone dance and prance so gracefully with a look on their face of thinking what they were doing was the most awesome ever.

Nativity scene or something going on here.
Tomorrow we'll be hitting up the Cham village again. Get me some gangsta clothing and my mom some curry spices.
