According to the girl, if the street was a bit deserted on the 1st day, now it is starting to get more crowded.
"On the way here, I saw a lot of traffic, especially on Highway 50 near my house. For many people, Tet is over after the first day of the lunar new year, people are starting to go back to work, and I see more technology drivers and shippers on the streets," she shared.
Ms. Han said that in the past few days, most of her usual shops have been closed for Tet, but finding a replacement shop is not too difficult. She said she really likes the smooth traffic in Ho Chi Minh City these days.
