 Men at the market playing dominoes, while the women work. Vietnamese man don't work very hard, but the women do.  They take take of the house, children and work too.  In the rural areas, the women take care of the gardens and rice paddies.  If they are luck, the men will help with the animals

 Dragon bridge in Danang, the world's longest dragon at 666 m

 Paper flowers, with lotus flowers in the middle. An art that has almost died, due to plastic flowers. The Vietnamese love flowers and buy many especially for Tet.   We had a class on how to make paper lotus flowers.

A young girl on her scooter.  Everyone drives scooters and most women wear masks, hats and gloves to protect them from the sun.  Light skin is highly prized.

 Garlic Christmas trees, candy pineapple for Tet. The Vietnamese go all out for Tet.  New clothes, lots of food and socializing.  They get 10 days off so they can visit their families and friends

Fishing in the early morning.  Most tasks are done by hand here.

A tangle of wires, a common sight in the cities

Fresh flowers are found everywhere
