These Tet flower markets will run till January  21, following their inaugurations on Saturday.

Early in the morning, as merchants displayed ornamental plants, some early risers took advantage of the opportunity to buy the plants while doing exercise.

Despite the low purchasing power, merchants are optimistic about a prosperous Tet season.

“A few days ago, as the weather suddenly turned unfavorable with repeated unseasonal rains, I was also concerned that the flowers might bloom early and die.

“The weather has fortunately improved over the past few days. I hope my business will go smoothly,” Vinh, a merchant of a flower stall at Le Van Tam Park, shared.

As a tradition, a flower festival will be held at Tao Dan Park in District 1 starting January 16, showcasing thousands of unique flowers and decorative plants.

In District 8, Binh Dong Wharf is a go-to place for people seeking flowers for the Tet holiday, with hundreds of flower varieties brought from the Mekong Delta.

Buzz, Bump, Goal! Drone Football Takes Center Stage at CES

Five red drones are competing against five blue drones in a thrilling drone soccer match. Controlling the drones from outside the playing field ensures safety for all. The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field. Their mission: to score goals by maneuvering a drone through the opposing team’s “donut,” a hoop suspended 3.5 meters in the air that lights up when a goal is achieved. Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago. Now, he serves as the captain and main striker for Team USA, alongside teaching children aged four and older the sport.

Vietnam reach ASEAN football final after beating Indonesia

in the 2022 AFF Championship final after claiming a 2-0 win over Indonesia in their semifinal second leg in Hanoi on Monday evening. This is the fourth time that Vietnam have qualified for the AFF Championship final. Thanks to Nguyen Tien Linh’s double, Vietnam defeated Indonesia 2-0 after two legs as both teams had drawn 0-0 in Central Jakarta last Friday. The Vietnamese striker put his team ahead quite early with a volley in the third minute before earning his second to double the lead with a header in the 48th minute. Indonesia’s most noticeable remarks were their faults against the hosts that resulted in two yellow cards. The players of Shin Tae Young, who had taken to Instagram to personally criticize three rough tackles by Vietnam’s left-back Doan Van Hau on Sunday, tried to hit back but their finishes either lacked accuracy or failed to beat Vietnamese goalkeeper Dang Van Lam. Vietnam wrapped up a 2-0 victory on aggregate to set up the finale against the winners...
