much quieter traffic than normal? many things shut down? maybe people selling kumquats or other traditional decorations. yeah i think the markets were the most notable thing, like an xmas market but different holiday.
(i was there for tet 11 years ago... that's what my memory has to say. istr it being something of a family holiday, vs say the various thai new years).
