This is the year of the Rooster (2017) and the fireworks go off tonight.. January 27th. Tet this lunar year will be celebrated from 27th January to 1st February and we are right in the thick of things.

Last night we enjoyed the fireworks and all the festivities. We took the advise from my cousin Anne and Clive and sat on the balcony at Fusion Café to people watch.

As we approached midnight we wandered up the street to find a less crowded spot to take in the ongoing festivities on the stage that was erected in the Old Town of Hoi An.

As the countdown began we realized that our choice spot, alongside the Thu Bon River, was very close to the area where they had decided it best to deploy the fireworks but it was too late to move. We were so lucky we didn't have one land on us.
