Run-4. 2001 - Hanoi, Vietnam
At the end of
the proceedings in Phnom Penh, Eurocrap, the GM of Hanoi H3, was
backed into a corner and graciously accepted the nomination to host
Mekong Indochina Hash IV in Hanoi. However Eurocrap knew that he was
shortly going to be transferred back to Euroland and so he was safe
from having to do any actual work to ever make it happen. So the
event returned to Vietnam; this time to its northern capital. Here
the hustle and bustle of the capital’s iconic street life provided
the counterpoint to some beautiful runs in the outlying countryside.
Between 9th and 11th November Hashers from 22 Hash Chapters spanning
eight countries took part in the events mismanaged by the GM, KaKa,
with more than a little help from his chief coordinator, Flashman. A
four-day weekend was kicked off by a run organized by the Thinking
Drinking Hash (a travelling Hash) on Friday, which was followed by
two beautiful runs on Saturday and Sunday, which were held way out
in the countryside. Belly Dancer presided over two great Circles
where a seemingly endless stream of less than polite Hash Names were
suggested for those unfortunates to be called into his Circle
without one. A enormously enjoyable weekend was wrapped up when the
Hanoi Pussy Hash staged a fabulous night Hash through the narrow
lanes of Hanoi on Monday night. This extra event meant that the
takings at the infamous Apocalypse Now nightclub received an
additional boost as many Hashers were in dire need of rehydration
after their early evening entertainment.
