Tet 2012 Celebration

After a quick dessert at XCream Cafe, we went to Renaissance Hotel to prepare for the New Year's Eve Celebration.

At the right side, my bed, and my mess!

Renaissance organized a pool party especially for this Tet Celebration. It was an international buffet dinner plus free flowing wine or any drinks until dawn. You have to pay to join in on the fun.

They have a nice river view where you can witness the fireworks display at midnight. 

While waiting for 12 midnight, we went outside to see a street filled with flowers.

There were a whole lot of flowers, the street were filled on both sides. I wish I was able to capture photos of them during daytime.

Then finally, the clock strikes 12!

Happy New Year!

And look at how many people watched the fireworks in the city...

These are motorcycle riders on the streets after the fireworks display. Looks like every family in Vietnam owns at least one motorbike. The good thing is they can go out and watch the fireworks without worrying if there is public transportation available.


The traffic was dispersed quickly. If those were cars, I bet it would take hours before the streets would be cleared.
