Chic Mung Nam Moi!

Chic Mung Nam Moi! Or, Happy Lunar New Year! 
Today, I went on my first Flower Street stroll in HCMC. A lot of preparation goes in to bringing in a "lucky" new year and this flower display shows no exception. While many people leave HCMC to head back to their hometowns for the Tet holiday. Quite a few people and tourists remain in the city and enjoy the flowery sights with their friends and families. 

Nyugen Hue Street is blocked off and filled with flowers.

Around 120,000 flowerpots of 50 different kinds of flowers have been used in the street display. 



Year of the Cat.





Upside to Tet= a lot LESS traffic :)
