I won't be home for Christmas... I'll be home for Tet =="

Christmas and New Year in Vietnam would be great, I thought before.. But, it didn't feel that great since everywhere was full of people and motorbike.. Even we couldn't cross the street! *sigh*
Some stores in the mall was closed in the Christmas Eve. Maybe they scared if those bunch of people will get into the shops and robbed them :D
Despite the crowded, the Christmas and New Year decoration was pretty good.. Especially in tourist area near Nguyen Hue Street.

See ?? How can I cross the street? =="
So, what happened in New Year's Eve? Almost the same, but this time, the crowd is worse than before ==" They have celebration in Nguyen Hue, we just went there for a while then got back before I trapped there.. There's also a food festival in Pham Ngu Lao area. But the food was not so good, but they were quite cheap.

"Tet" - Lunar New Year- in Vietnam was a huge celebration. Most locals returning to their home towns or villages to spend time with their family. The city starts to empty and businesses begin to stop a few days during Tet. There'll be bunch of flowers and other decorations during the Tet. I heard that there will be Flowers Parade at that day too. Dunno what will happen in that day here.. But, one thing for sure is Tet means a long holidayy for us.. And it's time to going back to my hometown.. Yay! ^^

Happy Lunar New Year !!
