Evening out in downtown Saigon

Main Post Office
There's a lot to do around Tết. Especially at night. People work all day and then go out at night. This time of year there's a Flower Market, when people from other part of Vietnam bring their plants to sell. There are orchids, Mai flowers, kumquats and so many others. People buy them to decorate their houses. A lot of times the Mai trees are a kind of rental, people send them back so they can grow over the rest of the year at a plant farm. They are kind of like Christmas trees, but the trees are not cut down, and are sent back to live.
