The Michael Jackson Memorial Run
Hash Scribe: Basil Thrush

"To be fair, Hares Two Dicks, Satan, Little Bird and Fuckoffee didn't know that this was going to be the MJ memorial run...but it certainly was a memorable run! Memorable because the bus wasn't so full, memorable because GM Paddy Fag arrived 15 minutes before the bus left, memorable because it didn't rain, and memorable because it was a really good run. We got off the bus in familiar territory in Long Thanh province and after a briefing by Two Dicks we headed off. It was quite pretty countryside, with plenty of shade, a good assortment of hills, several creek crossings, lots of sticky mud, smelly cow sh*t, occasional farms and ..." (read the rest).

Let's Try Something New Run
Hash Scribe: Basil Thrush

TIME: 10.15 am Monday 22nd June
PLACE: Any office in Saigon
PEOPLE: two workers, one a Hasher
"So what did you do on the weekend?"
"I got on an overcrowded bus, travelled for an hour, went for a one-hour walk in a thunderstorm with lightning and torrential rain, then stood around in water for an hour drinking beer, then got back on the overcrowded bus with about 70 other saturated people and came back to Saigon and paid 180,000 dong for the privilege. Now my watch has condensation inside the lens and my mobile phone doesn’t work."
You can understand why some people think Hashers are crazy.(read the rest).

The Naughty Virgin Run
Hash Scribe: Basil Thrush

"Short, sweet, scenic, swift, had it all... kind of sums up the virgin Hares for run 975, Mighty Quinn and Phuong Khanh. But the words are those of Street Peddler while describing the walk and giving it a whopping score of 7.5. The run/climb/swim scored a 0.5 which gave a combined score of 8. Amazing! It was a warm, sunny day with a light, cooling breeze as we headed into unfamiliar territory in the south of Dong Nai province and stopped beside a lake at the foot of a rock cliff face which had a temple perched on the top. Very picturesque. The briefing was brief as was the walk and run. It wasn’t too long before we were all back together again. A couple of refreshing Tigers, then GM Paddy Fag set the warning early - talk in the circle, and you’re iced and many had their butts forcibly cooled. Dribble Dick’s first appearance for months was worth a charge along with his excuse for being seen in sleazy, girlie bars in Saigon. "Bar girls need to be taught English too" ..." (read the rest).

- New to Hashing? -

If you've never hashed before, you'll find the Saigon Hash a great way to exercise, meet people and get out of the city. Each week, we offer a run (or a stroll) in different locations in the countryside around Ho Chi Minh City. No booking is necessary. Just roll up on Sunday afternoon and hop on the bus.

You don't need to bring much. For runners, running gear is all you need. Walkers need, above all, comfortable walking shoes (High heels are NOT recommended). On hot days, you may wish to wear a hat and use sunscreen. In addition, you'll need your run fee (VND180,000 for expats, VND100,000 for locals, 10,000 for ankle-biters) and optionally a change of clothes. For more information e-mail us at the address above.
