Not a day goes by that I don't see a wedding or a funeral here. The weddings last about half a day but funerals can go for a week.

Your typical funeral begins with horns and drums blasting at 5am. Is this to scare off the evil spirits or something ?

I cannot tell you how many times I have woken up to drums and horns before sunrise.

Then on Trang Dung Hao in District 1 a few months ago I saw this really cool funeral in front of an apartment building complete with music and transvestites dancing in short red mini skirts and sporting beautiful long hair
My viet g/f was laughing, and even she admitted this was something she had not seen before.

A big crowd gathered in the street laughing and singing. It was the oddest funeral i have ever seen....but funny.

The dancing girls..errr guys were actually very sexy and humerous.
This was pure party fun with lots of drinking singing and entertainment.
