Three cheers to overcoming fears. The idea for this song came to me while standing in an endless stream of scooters on a street in Hanoi, about the weird feeling of expecting some kind of transformation from travelling halfway across the world, getting swept up in a different world, then having a humbling moment hit you with it quite unexpectedly. The chant "mot hai ba yo!" means cheers but translates more literally to "1 2 3 drink!" which seemed more fitting as a call to count down and jump into whatever life sends your way.
