TET Fireworks
After the cancellation, debate and then reinstallment, it was time to settle down and enjoy. By 11.00pm, there was nowhere to move. The early birds had set up along Ton Duc Thang , waiting for midnight. This is taken outside the Majestic Hotel looking up TDT, with Dong Khoi off to the left.
The fireworks were greeted with cheers and applause, and the population of HCM were treated to a good fifteen minutes of color and noise.
At the end of the display, the sound of million motorbikes starting their engines drifted across the city, and the fight to get home was on.

A million motorbikes is not an exaggeration. We parked several blocks away and walked to Ton Duc Thang. Trying to walk back through a million exhasut-belching moterbikes inching their way along was no fun. Wishing you a great time in Cambodia this next week.

LOVE your blog, found it a couple of weeks ago. I’m thinking of an extended working holiday in VN, found your blog very inspiring. Maybe I’ll see you soon!
Wow, thanks for the comments! An extended working holiday in Nam….best be careful, it could become permanent! (a la moi).
jon, i am just so jealous…was in VN earlier this year but couldn’t stay for Tet…planning to hang around for Tet next year…sounds like you have found yourself a nice life in VN…congratulations and best wishes always
Wow! Looks pretty damn cool!
We’ve got a few cho tet’s in Melb, usually set up in the suburbs with a Vietnamese community majority. Pretty fun, but not as fun as it looks in VN!
