Valentines Day is celebrated in Vietnam just like most countrys thru out the world, but in Saigon it seems so much more special, this is because Valentines day normally falls around the same date as Vietnamese new year (Tet) and during this period District 1 puts on a spetacular flower market and show for Tet. This year the park area in the middle of the road along Nguyen Hue street from Tan Binh market down to the the Opera house has been transformed into a flower spetacular, that you would not believe. Alot of thought and planning has been put into the entire creation, if you are currently in Vietnam or planning a trip to Vietnam during Tet in the future I highly recommend you take a look.
Another interesting thing you will notice is young lovers crowding the parks thru out Saigon to get some special time togeather with that someone special. Its amazing to see a large park with every park (and there are alot of benches) taken up with young lovers making out.
