Another year older!

Our birthdays were spent in Vietnam this year.

Had a sumptuous French dinner at L' En Tete, tucked in a quiet corner of Nguyen Thai Binh / Calmette Street in district 1, followed by grooving to the alternative rock performed by live singers at the Acoustic Bar (which I will write about soon).








Chuc Mung Nam Moi !

Literally means Happy Lunar New Year!

The locals enjoy 4 days of public holidays to celebrate this festival call Tet (Tet Nguyen Dan is also known as Lunar New Year's Day, 1st day of the lunar new year). It is very widely celebrated in Vietnam, exactly the same way Chinese does in Singapore.

The streets, shops and buildings in the prime areas of district 1 are beautifully decorated and lighted up.
