Large open trucks transport troops of young acrobats, dressed in dragon costumes, for impromptu performances on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City.
I'm not sure what this is all about but these guys risk their necks and really put on a show. Not sure if my photos make it clear but many of the dragon dances are performed with one guy standing on another's shoulders. They hustle through there acrobatic routines then haul each other back into the bed of the transport truck and are off. 
Nguyen Hue street in downtown Saigon is transformed into a stylised, Vietnamese country side setting for the New Year. Many women dress up in traditional ao dai's, as in the above photo, for the occation.
