An Tet - Happy New Year

Thursday, February 7, 2008
Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. In Vietnam, they call this celebration Tet. It lasts anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks!!

My parents are in Vietnam right now celebrating the Tet holiday with my dad's mom and the rest of the family. They literally said that all the shops close down for at least a week. Now that is what I call a party.

So, An Tet - which means "Eat the New Year" - go figure.
