Tet celebrations


We spent the Vietnamese Lunar New Year's Day (Tet)in Saigon and tagged along with Lina's uncle to a family feast. All the men and women helped prepare the New Year's lunch, which included eel, wild boar, curry and Vietnamese pizza (you'll have to ask us what that is if you don't know). In typical Vietnamese fashion, these two elderly women quietly watched from a distance as the men (and Lina) ate and drank. One of the women lives in the house where we had the party.
