The night before Tet
The night before Tet
Down by the Red River there are lots of market gardens and now, in Tet, they are in full bloom. People wander around them, taking photos or choosing the stems they want. I bought some little chrysathanums (sp) which came with roots and all so they can be transplanted back here at home!
Kumquat trees and peach blossom branches are the Tet equivalent of our Christmas trees. They come in all shapes and sizes and, being Vietnam, mostly transported on the back of motorbikes and bicycles. Tet is crazy: Christmas, New year and birthday all rolled into one frenzy. I have taken lots of kumquat trees but then they are unbelievable! Also, the movement of the trees is unique to Hanoi and apparently nothing quite like this is Saigon.
