  We take a boat from our hotel to a great restaurant. The pedestrian bridge is beautifully lit. We'll walk back along that bridge after dinner. Riverboat cruises. Gambling cruises too. Our boat taking us to dinner.

  Walking back from dinner, center of town was full of Chinese New Year decorations. Year of the Monkey. Monkeys and yellow flowers everywhere. Celebrating everything Vietnam has to offer - fish in the sea and rivers. Other displays showed the bus routes in Can Tho and the airports of the country. The whole country, united. Vietnam rivers and boating infrastructure.

  And a whole stand of balloons. Police and security keep order with a whistle and baton, and they are obeyed - we saw just one whistle blow and a yell of something cause a bystander to jump up from where he was sitting on one of the decorations. Another vendor crushing sugar cane for the juice. Obligaory statue
