I certainly will not surprise you by saying that the Vietnamese are rather kind of superstitious. For example, the success of the first day of the lunar year is crucial to them because it determines the next twelve months. Thus, the first person to cross the day may, as appropriate, be the bearer of good luck or bad luck. It is better to stay home until late if you are grieving, poor, unlucky or simply unmarried at an advanced age (read by there in over 30 years).
Council applied to the letter, although I am neither mourning, nor poor, or unlucky, or single. But: the e morale starts a little bit to fail since my husband flew to Switzerland with son No. 1 last Friday. I'm having respected the tradition by acquiring kumquat, branches of peach and banh chung in quantity ( traditional glutinous rice cake stuffed with bean paste, onions and roasted pork, wrapped in palm leaves and tied to bamboo sticks), I just underestimated the extent that family is the Tet ...
But of course I'm far from being totally destitute of a point from emotional. Share my bed baby No. 2, and a lovely cat, undisputed star of the year starts (the Chinese prefer the rabbit, too bad for them ...).
Go, chuc mung Nam Moi , as they say!
