Playing Cards with Shoes, a Street Game.mov

Children in Hue, Viet Nam, playing cards using their shoes. There is a lot going on, so I suggest watching this with full screen. Every time I watch it I see something new.

Simple pleasures.

That was quite fascinating to watch. I wonder who made up the "rules"?

i used to play that when i was a kid.... fun game, funny...gambling at such a young age. by the way, i love the background music !!! soo funny !!! if you can tell me the title, that would be nice. =)

the music is a combination of the ambient sound and coi chung cong an den (hiphop)

I don't know the game play, nor do I have the rule book, but it's fascinating to watch, because THEY know exactly what they're doing, and some of them are very good at it. It's a game that gets quite intense at times, and as an uninvited observer, it's not necessarily my right to know why.

Another great capture, Margaret. Thank you for these moments.

This scene reminds me of a Breugel painting.

Oh, welcome home, Lady Margaret. You were missed.

Looks like a great game, actually. I won't be surprised to see it show up in Las Vegas sometime soon.
