I seriously don't understand why people need booze to have a good time. I'm having a alcohol-free wedding.
I know Confucian norms require alcohol as part of certain rituals (禮), but time has changed, & people today can afford alcohol in quantity their forebears couldn't.

Like anything good, moderation is key.

LOL Those Viet never fail to amaze people. What cause the fight though?

There r many reason for the fight. In Saint Giong festival this year, the fight also happen when some guys felt unhappy coz they could not get the lucky bamboo. ( legend said that Saint Giong used bamboo to defeat China army ). The fight only stop when the police came up.

This is a custom, not be an accident. In the past, multi-villages fight together for the lucky bamboo, with no sharp weapons.
