TET Holiday or Lunar New Year




It is a special day for some country in Asia. In this case, we are talking about Vietnam.
Before the holiday, people prepare costumes for it. There are a lot of things: food, lucky money, decorations (flowers). The most famous food for TET is banh chung, banh day. It takes a long time to make these kinds of food. Generally, they are made of rice, pork and green beans. They put these ingredients in water and boil them properly. Often, people use a kind of yellow flower called hoa mai. They put a flowering plant in front of their houses for fortune, they said. All of Vietnamese children like this activity: receiving lucky money. Money is put in a paper red bag and is given to children and elders. When you give this bag to a person, it shows that you respect and want luck to come to that person. Also, in these holidays, people like to visit their families. They travel far away for the visiting.
Overall, Lunar New Year is a very special day for the Vietnamese, just like January the first in Europe.

Others's cool blogs

Vince has a very colorful picture. It looks like Picasso's picture. I don't know what it is about. He said it is a church but it doesn't look like a church. It looks a little bit like a house. He used photoshop to make it.

My favorite places





This is The Great Wall of China. It is about 6000 kilometers long, 4 meters big and 9 meters high. In the picture, its looks like a huge long snake is surrounding Chinese old capital. The Great Wall of China was built in the medieval time (B.C). The king at that time was very intelligent but very evil. A lot of construction workers died because of building this wall. They built it for many years. This is the symbol of China. Today, The Great Wall of China was chosen to be one of the world’s wonder.


This is Japanese capital: Tokyo. Today, it is a very well developed city because Japan is the most developed country in Asia. There are a lot of tall buildings in Tokyo. This is the center of many businesses. A lot of famous Japanese companies made their buildings there.


This is the most popular deep sea fish. Its name is angler fish. Because of this property, it is the symbol of the deep sea (where there is no light). There are not a lot of creatures survive this deep. So, how can angler fish get food? I can answer this question easily. Angler fish make their own light. It is the esca. Deep sea fish and shrimps very like light so they can be caught easily. Angler fish also have “mega mouths” to grab food easily. Angler fishes are also an example which explains why deep sea creatures are very strange.
