Last Sunday, Steven and I attended our second annual Saigon Cyclo Challenge to benefit Saigon Children's Charity. I was there as a spectator and Steven, as a part of the American International School Cyclo Team. Since he had driven a cyclo last year, he agreed to play a game instead - the race consisting of cyclo's racing around the track in-between "check-points" where team members play games to move their team ahead.
Steven's game was an odd one that consisted of four team members fishing bags of plastic bottles out of a small lake with bamboo poles and then transporting them, one bag at a time, to the recycling big. One team member acted as the fisher-person, another brought the fished out items to the second part of the team, who were to bring the bags to the recycling bin by standing back-to-back, linking arms, and crab-running to the recycling bin. I think the point is to make it difficult for the team members while at the same time being quite entertaining for the spectators. Some teams never made it past the fishing part.
Ultimately Steven's team came in fourth to last or something, but they all had a good time, which is what matters, right? :)
