We were lucky to spend Vietnamese New Year (Tet) in Saigon with Lina's uncle and his family. If you have been to Saigon, you would know the hustle, bustle and organised chaos of the city. Imagine the city usually, but on caffeine. That is the atmosphere of Saigon preparing for Tet. The South Vietnamese Tet flower is called hoa mai (in the North, the Tet flower is pink and called hoa dao). This photo of a hoa mai tree, bearing a "Happy New Year" banner in lucky red, was taken at the Saigon Tet flower market.
