TET
Hi- I just came across this blog-entry...sesms like you spent a while in Vietnam.I love your pictures!! Since I'll be in Vietnam over the TET this February I was wondering how life is during theses days? I'm kind of afraid that we won't be able to book any tours during the TEt since everybody will close their travel-agency and so on. Is it really that way??? Thank you so much - enjoy your time back home!!
