Wow, this is my first time I visit Vietnam, and I'm very lucky for got a chance to join the New Year special festival which name's Tet. This is the most important festival of all in Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. I've knew that this festival came from China, but this festival is more funny and fantastic in Vietnam. In these Tet days, the aduts give lucky money for children in the paper small red bags. Because Vietnamese belived that red is the luckiest color in Tet. About food, I've eat some cakes name are "Banh Chung, Banh Day". These cakes are very delicious. Banh Chung made from sticky rice, meat, and this cake cover by bananas leaves, their shape is square. Like in this image:
Banh Tet made up like Banh Chung, too. But Banh Tet shape is cylinder. These special cakes stand for different gods. Banh Chung have square shape because it stands for the Ground God, and Banh Tet is the Sky God.
These cakes is very important for the festival, but one of the most important thing for this festival is......APRICOT BLOSSOM. These flower is very beautiful, they stand for gold (money), like the wish that this year they can richer or their work will go well. This culture is very fun, I like it so much, i was so lucky that I can been here in Tet time. I wish every country entire the world will have their own New Year festival like Tet.
