Hashing: Discover amazing trails around Saigon
Our next Run Day: Sunday Date: 14/07/2020 Dear all Hashers! Thanh Hoi Island (or Cu lao Rua - Tortoise Island) is the tortoise of the Dragon river (Dong Nai river). It is located in the middle of the Dong Nai river. If you are from Bien Hoa, you need to takes a small ferry to get onto the island. If you're from Binh Duong, you can take the Thanh Hoi bridge to enter to an extraordinarily quiet space. There was no sound of cars or factories, only the quiet river and the whispering wind. There are no high buildings, restaurants, hotels ... only quiet village roads. Ancient people came here very early, about 3500 years ago. Nowadays, people plant green onion and colocasia tree for money. If you want to explore this peaceful island, join us the Saigon Hash on this Sunday.
If you are joining us in Saigon make sure you are at the Caravelle before 2 pm (14h00) or you will find that the bus has already left. There will be a D2 pickup from two bus stops along the south side of the Hanoi Highway, one opposite the Thao Dien Rd. and the other in front of Estella Heights. Bus arrives there at about 2.15 pm so aim to be there before 2:10 pm (14:10). If you are from Binh Duong please make your way to point A for 15:00 h (3:00 pm) ready for a 15:00 h (3.15pm) start: News from your GM My spies have informed me that the run on Sunday was spectacular, well up to the standard that Her Majesty would expect. With the cucumber sandwiches and the coronation chicken supplemented by more traditional Vietnamese dishes her birthday was certainly celebrated in style. Unfortunately the pot of tea was missing so the Hashers had to console themselves with beer. I am looking forward to our next hash with the Vietnamese hares taking over and sharing their countries history with us whilst also taking us on what promises to be a great trail. The mismanagement committee had a very successful meeting on Saturday. At one point we did start to panic slightly as it appeared we may be turning into a management committee. Luckily the beer and wine kicked in and the more typical standard was re-established. Video evidence is available on the Saigon H3 Facebook page.

The second will be on Wednesday evening from 5:00 pm at Le Bacoulos (13 Tong Huu Dinh, Thao Dien, District 2). Attendance at both is always an acceptable option! Join the WhatsApp group (see above in this Newsletter) if you want to receive all last minute Hump info. Last week's Run Report Run 1553 The Queens Birthday Run The Bus left a 2pm sharp from Caravelle and everyone was collected in a timely manner and so we were able to start the run promptly. The gathering circle was interrupted a few times by shouts of “Traffic” as tractors, lorries and motorbikes ploughed through the middle. Vice-GM Runny Yolk introduced the Hares- Fukcoffee and two virgin Hares The Flusher and Vy. We were told there would be a lot of paper. We worked our way through two GMs - as on returning to the bus Runny Yolk had a ”turn” and so the third GM I Choked LInda Lovelace took over. Low Maintenance gave the Run Report and she described the beautiful scenery- rubber, coffee, cashews, cassava, centipedes, mushrooms (magic!) but NO beer stop so a massive -25 was awarded. Thanh- a Virgin to the Hash described the walk. She had meant to run but got lost so she joined with another Virgin and seemed to get the hang of following paper round so she got to the end. Her +9 means a score of - 14. The Virgins were invited into the circle and told the etiquette. Thanh from Dalat stayed where she was and was joined by Duy from Saigon; An Nhien, Xuan and Ling. Words like Tao and Ban Tre and Vy were mentioned but I do not know whether these are the names of places or the people who made them come. Returners this week include Low Maintenance who was at home and Big C who was at home and/or visiting MRE. The Flusher and Vy had to bear the indignity and their chests in order to don the Red T-shirt which marks the first Hare Set. Vy was almost in the circle as long as GM the third, as she had to be named. Eleven suggestions were made- of which the best was deemed to be No fuckin idea. Despite the outlawing of waterboarding, Vy took it on the chin and seemed to be chuffed with her new name. Charges Runny Yolk- now feeling much better, charged ICLL for not knowing which bloke he fancied most. Pediaprick ( the handsome French Guy) charged the FRBs- Bukaki Kid, Rock Bottom and Ben with being more interested in running than Hashing- and arguably bringing the raison d’être of the Hash into disrepute. There was no calling and they were referred to as “heartless bastards”. Tastes Great charged the Hares with not setting any checks and specifically Fukcoffee with being a crap teacher. In a revenge charge, Fukcoffee charged a teacher, Runny Yolk with taking time off work and indeed Circle time because she is sick- of kids. Fukcoffee, taking advantage of his location, charged Sloe Gin who left a load of shreddie in the Mall on a shopping trip. But she redeemed herself by making sure there was enough on the bus for the run. The dog, Rocky, however had ripped up a load of paper in the homestead and will now be known as Shredder. Shithouse called in For Rent because her dog barks and hides every time he sees a motorbike.
Next week’s run 1554 In and Out Be at the Caravelle at 1.45 for a 2pm- prompt- departure 30th Birthday coming up in August- get excited. Weekend activities will be arranged.
