There were pretty much 15 days of Tet (kind of like 12 days of Christmas).
My Tet adventures included:
- Seeing where my mom use to live, her old neighborhood, etc. It was really something!
- Seeing my grandparents' graves. A bit chilling, but I know it meant a lot to my mama.
- Walking through my uncle's orchard/garden filled with pomelo trees, jackfruit trees, and lots of other fruit I only know how to say in Vietnamese.
- Observing Vietnamese Buddhist ceremonies that included leaving food out for spirits and prayer at 5am EVERYDAY!
- Hung out with Liz in HCMC, Mui Ne and Nha Trang (where we got stung by HUNDREDS of small jellyfish while snorkeling).
(This is a really uninteresting post because it is a list... sorry!)
