Preparing for the new year

The city streets are already preparing for the new year. Dried fruit is neatly displayed and boxed cookies and biscuits line the walls of each stall in Hanoi and saigon.
Typically families make gift baskets of dried fruit, candy, tea, or liquor to give to their elders or to dead relatives. You can also buy pre-made baskets, like the ones pictured here.
