tonybui

A bustling Vietnamese market decorated with red and gold lanterns, filled with people shopping for the Lunar New Year. Traditional Vietnamese banners and decorations hang from stalls.
Vendor: Get your fresh flowers for Tet! Bring luck to your home!
A family of four, two parents and two children, are preparing a festive meal together in their kitchen. They are wrapping Banh Chung, a traditional Vietnamese cake, in banana leaves.
Mother: Remember to wrap the Banh Chung tightly so it cooks evenly.
Father: These are going to be the best ones yet!
The family is sitting in their living room, wearing traditional Ao Dai, surrounded by red envelopes and smiling as they exchange gifts. The room is filled with flowers and fruit offerings.
Daughter: Thank you for the lucky money, Grandma!
Grandma: May this year bring you joy and success.
The family is outside watching a vibrant dragon dance performance on the street. Crowds of people are gathered, and fireworks are lighting up the night sky.
Son: Wow! The dragon dance is amazing!
Father: It's the highlight of the celebration!
The night ends with the family sitting together under the stars, enjoying the calm after the festivities. Lanterns float in the distance across the night sky.
Mother: Another beautiful Tet, full of family and happiness.
Son: I can't wait for next year!
