This weekend is one long holiday here - Friday was the Hung Kings Day (fathers of the Vietnamese nation in, lets say, 269 bc), today Monday is Liberation Day, and tomorrow is May Day. April 30, 1975, Vietnam was officially re-united. I was rather small then, I don't exactly remember the occasion. However today, there was a sort of circus in the middle of the street. The funny thing is they often have concerts and performances there, and they never close the street. So everyone just keeps coming until there is about a half mile of mayhem, and everybody in the front can see the event and everybody else just sits there and breathes motorbike exhaust until the show is over. This time I got there early enough to get seat with a view.
Before it got crowded
After that…
Twirling hoops 
Twirling flaming hoops
Bouncing on a stick
Bouncing and twirling a drum on foot, upside-down
Twirling burning bamboo
Trapeze
