Happy New Year and Tet holidays, I wish you beautiful!
since Saturday I have nine days free, I will spend off Wednesday in Nha Trang. But first to the second New Year's Eve:
before yesterday evening there were in the old town on the river's fireworks. It has been because of all the smoke that has accompanied the not soo much seen, but good.
It was not only full of tourists but also locals, who, finally, also sat in the restaurants of the center (although prices doubled! Were).
You could buy candles in Blumenbötchen that you then put into the river, the really was beautiful.
Yes, the year of the water buffalo is there to end the era of the tiger is.
Na said that they would like a child would receive, but not in the year of the tiger, because future partner then it could not possibly want to marry. Well, the marriage ... And it is beginning to think at all times before an embryo is there: D.
After the New Year begins at the Tet festival, the first three days of the New Year are very important. For example, the house is cleaned before, during Tet should not in fact be made because the other is not a good year. In addition, one must always be dressed properly, so I'm constantly with tailored skirts clothes and go.
The streets are hundreds of vendors, the video shows Hoi An Cua Dai Beach to the Street:
is very important in this time, the family, especially on the first day. They decorated the house, cooking traditional dishes, eat together and sing karaoke - whatever else
from all sides, we were always told how great was the celebration in the family and that we would have to experience it.
For this reason, I've just got Vinh on the invitation of my colleague. Yesterday they
took me off and we drove first to Reaching Out. Ni and Na working even though the store actually for six days should be closed.
In any case, we have wished them a happy new year and drove to Phương who used to work there sometimes. They can be very good English and is an incredibly bright, cheerful person and then also invited us to dinner. At Tet, there are two main courts, which once again symbolize the earth and the sky. I forgot the name, but ... there was the earth ;-).
Then the three of us are in a lovely cafe just outside down, then find two more friends of dazustießen.Dort Phương I have her, "Li Xi ', Lucky Money given. They are simply VND 5000, the small one into a Tet red envelope inserted. The bill, however, must be new and will be distributed to all of you like, so that in the new year lucky. She also got a very special envelope. It was not about 'Happy Tet' or 'Happy New Year' on it, but 'Happy Near'.
Yeah! The
can then adjust to join 'Satifaction', 'Amani', 'Dificullter' and various other creations. Then Vinh
has asked me whether I would still go along to her house. Because of course I said yes because I wanted to meet her family happy. First we sat at the table and have been drinking tea and eating sunflower seeds, then we went into the kitchen, where the Meals were placed on the middle ground.
We sat and ate banh xeo aussenrum, Vietnamese rice paper, in the vegetables, cao lao or other small items will be wrapping and is then dipped in soy sauce. I got the Coke can, which I was split on two small and two large glasses. I also made and gave the first two women the big glasses, gave the man a little and kept the other small for me and Vinh. The then said that you spend here on the age, so I hope nobody was offended. I think not because I then explained that in Germany first thinks of women. Then again, it was
tea with traditional Tet Sweets and then I also was home, where I gave even a thank you for my friend and her family. Here are the most available money, flowers, sweets or fruits (apples Snow White in particular). From me there was Alpenliebe candies from the Metro, coconut jelly, chocolate and apples (I must mention here that Tet apples are incredibly expensive, there were almost two euros for four, rather one can equate the cheese prices here-.-) .
By the way: I miss cheese!
