New Year's Eve

Still in Saigon and still in Day 12.

I have never seen so many motor bikes all jammed in one spot! There were people everywhere for the New Year's Eve fireworks so we joined them. The roads ground to a halt so many people just turned off their bikes and stayed where they were. No one was going anywhere.



We watche3d a not-very-good dance performance on this massive stage, then waited the few minutes for the fireworks display. When they started a huge cheer went up, but nobody could see anything because the fireworks weren't high enough and were hidden from our view by a building.



So everyone turned their bikes on and motored home. We walked back to the hotel a little disappointed.
