With Tet just around the corner, it’s time to reflect on it what Tet is.
Tet is a time of homecoming and reunion dinners
Tet is a time when the whole country is painted in a sea of gold and red – colors that represent prosperity, happiness and fortune
Tet is a time when streets are crowded with motorbikes piled high with cherry blossoms and gigantic pots of kumquat trees
Tet is a time when everyone feels the rush of shopping and the race to stock up on food as most places will be shut during the holiday
