Happy Lunar New Year!

Chuc Mung Nam Moi!  Happy Year of the Horse!  May you have a happy and prosperous year.  It is Tet in Vietnam and a lot of people in Saigon have gone back to their home towns to be with their families.  Walking around the city on New Year's eve is a bit strange because most of the shops and restaurants are closed, which is quite a change from the hustle and bustle we are used to.  The central part of District 1, however, was quite festive with Tet celebrations.  Following are some photos from New Year's Eve in Saigon.
