While the spring atmosphere and excitement for Tet seem to be filling every house, street and corner, the Lunar New Year is a time of hard-work for many vendors in Ho Chi Minh City.

Trying to earn money from cocunuts

Scrambling to sell, this woman brings her daughter with her

Pushing his cylco hard


These peddlers are focused on working as Tet approaches

Making a living on streets…

Trash collectors stay up late and wake up early

Scrummaging through waste to earn some money




A short rest

Many are celebrating Tet, but home seems far to others
