"Only in America"

We have arrived back in the good ole U. S. of A. and to celebrate we are doing our first joint post!

On Saturday we went to the Brooks and Dunn Last Rodeo concert.

Being at the show reminded us of all the things that are great about America and also all the reasons why the rest of the world hates us. Being able to kiss your girlfriend in public is great; groping her as you lay her down across a picnic table in the concessions area, markedly less so. Freedom is great, but common sense is better. Perhaps it's that our last stops on the trip were in conservative Muslim areas. Perhaps we were experiencing jet-lag and culture shock. Perhaps Philadelphia country music fans have no class or style. Either way, there should have been fashion police at this thing.

For example:

If I can see your ass-cheeks when you walk, what you're wearing is a shirt, not a dress, and you need to put on some pants.

Dude wearing jeans overalls and no shirt: you look like and escaped convict from O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Hey drunk girl: Your belt should never be wider than your inseam is long. Especially when you are too drunk to figure out how a belt works.

You know it was bad when among the best dressed people we saw all night was the guy in the cut-off Liverpool jersey.

The opening act was Justin Bieber...with a mullet.

Honey, your cleavage, though very impressive, if a bit in need of better support, is NOT an acceptable place to store your cell phone or camera.


On Sunday, we were out and about running some errands and engaging in the great American pastime: spending money! While out, we noticed 5 Vietnamese restaurants within a 7-10 minute drive from our house. We decided to go eat at Phơ Hoa, a Vietnamese chain in Adams Plaza. Our waiter was amazed that we had been to Vietnam and then proceeded to grill us as he's leaving in 2 weeks himself. Good food was had, and though not as cheap as it would've been in Vietnam, still very very affordable.

We do plan on continuing the blog for a bit longer. We plan on putting some of our pictures on it as well as some other things including our Best and Worst lists that many people have asked for.
