:lol:My country , in festival , most of woman usually wear a long dress and a coconut hat, there are have a lot of people attend a festival who made atmosphere interesting , and they always dance a traditional dance .
On the Tet ( New year) of lunar calendar , lots of people have to go shopping , they are going to buy a lot of food , vegetables, candy... In short they prepair anything for the Tet .Because ,in the days of Tet , most of market are not going to open about 4 days on Tet . Furthermore, many people are living in oversea come back Viet Nam and joint with their family... Dragan dance is going to bring for you many things lucky .
On the Tet , adult/elderly people have to put a little money in red pack and give to childrend....
Above is some culture in Viet Nam . My country have a lot of culture but I do not have enough time for writing .
Thank you for reading !

I like Vietnamese food. Especially pho (NOODLE). =) The rice paper spring rolls are great too!

It is called "bun ". I think it is easier to taste it than "pho'. This is a kind

of folk food. We can say "bun" is the food of the poor, and " pho" is the

one of the rich. This is not absolutely true now in Vietnam, but maybe this

existed in the past. Usually, "bun" is more cheaper than " pho"

You've been to Vietnam?

Do you know how the Vietnamese celebrate the New Year?

I will have a Tet holiday of 10 days beginning next week. And my family

are going to prepare a luxurious Tet

I will tell you about that

But , why don't you come to Vietnam and spend tet holiday with

Vietnamese people

Hi, I'm a Vietnamese too, and I agree to all of your ideas about our culture
I'm living in America but when I eat Vietnamese food here, it doen't give me any feeling as same as the food I had eaten while I was there.
If you want to eat the real "bun" or "pho" you have to travel to Vietnam, however, you need to becareful too. Many places are pretty good, also many are not as the way it suppost to be.

Thanks for your topic, Hai.
