    How many times have you been to a night joint and drank one of those nasty concoctions with a stupid umbrella? Well, you won't have to worry about this if you're here. Despite bearing the notorious reputation of being the Minsk ( russian bike) HQ, this place is a good joint to try really good Vietnamese wine...

    Dress Code: Of course, before you order anything, take a look at Highway 4's menu and have a good laugh. You'll find really rib-tickling monikers such as "One night five times" and "Sanh Dieu (Sex Machine) . Hmm, those were definitely potent Vietnamese Viagra! After hubby finished laughing, we ordered a tamer sampler of honey-egg wine, raspberry, aniseed and scent of 500 flowers. All gauranteed to warm us up on a cold winter's night.

    Chi-chi villa setting, cushy couches, pool table, and resident jazz band and a scrumptious restaurant upstairs. Need I say any more? Have a drink here after dinner.

    Water Puppet Theater: Animated Water Play

  • Nightlife Spot: Water Puppet Theater

    Now, if you're thinking that a Sesame Street Veteran like yourself can afford to give this a miss, you're likely to kick yourself in the butt. Yes pal, this ain't no Jim-Henson esque puppetry stuff on telly. Nope, it's pure animated viagra on water. And best of all, it's accompanied by a live soundtrack.

    Listen to how a "Dan Bau" ( string instrument ) is plucked for the mew of a cat or how a "Sao" ( wind instrument ) is blown to imitate the cries of a bird. Quite fascinating really.
    As for puppeteers, they don't breathe underwater in snorkels but stand cleverly behind a faux temple.For your entertainment sake, those chaps stand waist deep in cold, air-conditioned water , giving life to the puppets.
    So are you game? Click here for more pictures.

    Tip
    1)Go for the first class tickets. You'll get a better view. The cost is 40,000D for seats at the front+CD recording of music played.
    2)Phan Thai hotel does the booking free for you!
    3)Three shows a day at 5.15 pm, 6.30 pm and 8 pm Counter closes at 6.45 pm to 7.30 pm

     The dish costs 100.000 dong today. So it is definitely a lot cheaper than mentioned in this article.

     What an interesting and fun page, Glen. I had a blast looking it all over. I think Vietnam is a place we want to go someday.
