In Viet Nam, there is great excitement built up well before Tet Nguyen Dan.
First, every family organizes a trip to the cemetery to visit the graves of their
ancestor. After that, to create an air of prosperity, wealth and fun for the first
three days of the Lunar New Year, people are kept busy cooking traditional
foods, buying gifts, and making other preparations. Certain items deemed to be
bought or made are banh chung, dried watermelon seeds, tea, dried sausages, fruit
(fresh and candied), ornamental plants and flowers. Red and yellow flowers are
ideal as they make the house more welcoming. On the New Year's days, only
good comments and wishes can be expressed. Children receive their “Ii xi” (or
red envelopes with lucky money inside). People make a visit to family members,
neighbors, and close friends. And people who live apart from their family try to
