Hi all,
Unfortunately my Vietnamese isn't all that so I was wondering if someone could help with this one:
what does the text in Vietnamese say (spell). That is the text above the well known characters (it's not that clear; sorry)

Any help is welcome
TIA
Mark

I'm not sure., but many times it says "coca cola" or "enjoy a coke" in the local language...I'll ask my dad, he served in Vietnam and he may remember.

"Hay uong coca cola" = "let's drink a coke"

Thanks all!!!
I found this picture on the net http://www.rickholt.net/vietnamphotos.htm
it was taken in danang if I'm not mistaken.
I was thinking of a diorama with this billboard along the road and the Vietnamese text would make a nice touch I thought.

regards

It's taken in Da Nang or Vung Tau. I do think so. Because there's mountain behind the billboard, the high-way, a small town and ... the file name .It couldn't be the HCM city (Sai Gon).
Hi Mark,
Just do your diorama and I can help you with vietnamese language as much as I can help.
