Happy Mid Autumn Festival!!

On the eve of the Lantern (Mooncake) Festival, Luong Nhu Loc Street in Cholon (old chinatown), Districtr 5 of Saigon becomes what can best be described as a sea of people and motorbikes flanked by walls of lanterns on other side as the Saigonese go into a last minute buying frenzy of a dizzying array of lanterns of all conceivable shapes, ranging in size from the gargantuan to the miniscule.
