Stayed at home for Tet this year and it's worth it just to reclaim the streets for a few days as a big chunk of the neighbourhood
pack their mopeds high with food and gifts and head off to distant relatives. Birdsong, usually vanquished by engines could be heard and the rats too seemed to be enjoying the freedom of the road, unsquashed.
Chuc Mung Nam Moi! Happy Year of the Tiger.
