OH-LALA



Ok, unless you are a Vietnamese or familiar with Vietnamese idioms (Southern region), you would not find this saying funny.

When I saw this license plate, I thought of a Vietnamese expression, “Oh-lala, con lac da” – translation “Oh-lala, it’s a camel”.  I know, you would not understand - it’s a Vietnamese thing but don’t ask me what it mean – just silly saying, like the American expression, “work hard like a dog”, have you ever seen a dog work or do anything except eating, sleeping and playing?
(Also don't try asking another Vietnamese about this expression - it could be just me and my silly brain ....)
