Only in Vietnam

Sleeping on the floors of our hosts' houses after having lunch.
Special ponchos with two head holes because people ride motorbikes so often, and want their passengers to be comfortable during the rainy season.
People wearing fuzzy winter hats and gloves when it's 90 degrees out.
Man with one arm driving a motorbike.
Woman peeing on the side of her driveway while farming.
Having veterans come up to us and shake our hands in the market.
Woman carrying a baby in a mesh mosquito net bag.
