I have now learned, that these "little orange trees" are actually kumquat trees.
I still have not figured out, what they signify. Most people in the tourist related businesses speak a
few words of English, enough do do their job, but t i9s hard to find somebody, who is fluent
enough to explain something sophisticated. But there is still more than a month to go until Tet. I am
sure, Ill be able to find out by then.
