How Vietnam celebrates
The whole country travels home — trains, flights and buses sell out weeks ahead. Cities empty as villages fill; flower markets bloom in every town in the final week; and the first three days follow the saying 'mùng 1 Tết cha, mùng 2 Tết mẹ, mùng 3 Tết thầy' — father's side, mother's side, then teachers.
What people eat
Bánh chưng in the north, bánh tét in the south, mứt, pickled onions (dưa hành), and hạt dưa (roasted melon seeds).
