The energy is palpable here. It's the eve of the Tet, which is basically the start of the New Lunar Year. 2009 is the year of the buffalo. What it means is just about Christmas and New Year's Eve all in one. Many cum quat? trees on mopeds being transported to the homes, the flower market which makes the city beautiful, the different shapes and sizes of lanterns being prepared for tonight. Some are silk lanterns, some are rice paper, some are bamboo. It is a real treat for me seeing all this. The local people are also getting ready and I can feel the buzz going around. Tonight, I have a cooking class at 6:00 pm and it should finish at around 8:00 so after I'll go for the lantern festival. Hopefully the weather will be nice, I've already taken pictures and I'll take some more tonight to show you all how beautiful it is.
Don't have much time so I'll write later on. I love Hoi An but I'm leaving tomorrow for Saigon.
