Saigon Vegan Festival & Joyful June Dinner





I had a nice evening last Saturday with lots of fun at the vegan pool party in Sun Rise city, enjoying the company of these kind and so friendly new friends. We did some yoga breathing, playing team games ('Plant' vs. 'Power') with some stretching, balance and quiz. Then we enjoyed delicious vegan food together over sunset. We then visited Janny's appartment and playing some strange cards and then the interesting Werewolf Game. Each of us took a role in an imaginary village, where some could become werewolves at nights...

Saigon Vegan Festival is a project by Tyra Nguyen, with monthly Vegan festival events in Ho Chi Minh city, where vegans can come to enjoy food, networking, getting to know each other and playing together. Sharing the dream of animal lovers, vegan practitioners, environmentalist and those who have a beating heart for this wonderful Earth and Life, Tyra initiated a website to promote this true way of living in harmony with ethics and nature. Her websites:

- An exclusive venue with a stunning view and ambience!
- A great stretch with breathing exercise led by Tarun Tri!! (& an unforgettable arm + leg pull game too hehehehe)
- A super fun vegan quiz with a "terrible" vegan punishment!
- A great meal by chef Thanh Phuong with the Cha ca La Vong roll!
- A lovely weather with only a few drops and no rain!!!
- A great host team (Janny, Alexis, Huyen) running up and down, back and forth so we can have a smooth night!
- A strangely non-related party games (Against Humanity + Werewolves) HAHAHA

I've got to say this dinner is so far the most time and effort consuming for me as the organier. And the result turned out so good, with big help from Janny (the co-organizer and host), and Dylan (my source of encouragement and support). For sure, all friends who joined were there to chip in their smiles, cheer, hands, heads, feets... Thank you all from my heart!!!

We had fun, very light yet deep fun!
