Or at least there are a few touches here and there to indicate the season is upon us even here. In fact, a number of nicer storefronts in Ho Chi Minh were decorated with snow scenes in the window. They didn't seem to be stores aimed at Westerners, but more the Ying of our Asian tattoo Yang.
In these expensive stores, (the fact that they have windows makes them expensive right off) they often had very Caucasian mannequins and fake white snow swirling in the breeze of a fan. In more typical stores, if they went for a Christmas theme it was more likely to involve a few red and green lights and a whole lot of tinsel.

Here is your big opportunity Paul, chief tinsel hanger - I knew there was a place for your talent in some far flung corner of the globe and you seem to have found it!
Seriously, it is really fun to read your travel diaries and hear about this country and your perceptions, looking forward to further installments and the photos.
