"VTCH3" HASH SONGS TO SING AT THE CIRCLE
WHILST DRINKING BERR AT THE DOWN DOWN
WHILST DRINKING BERR AT THE DOWN DOWN
"Many different songs make a fun, interesting CircleCan't remember who said it, but nobody disagrees!Anyone who has taught English at a Vietnamese kindergarten will surely recognise most of these songs. The fact is, most Hashers are children at heart, and VTH3 is a family Hash with a mantra of respect for all members, so we happily leave all those songs with more 'adult content' to the "grown-ups"!
Vung Tau Hash song
“We are Vung Tau Hashers, Hashing in the sun”
We have lots of mountains, everywhere we run
Bia Hơi, phở bò – nibble gobble chew…
We are Vung Tau Hashers
“And we welcome you!
