Every year, every spring, my hometown is jubilantly opening a boat racing festival on Long Binh River. That morning, on both sides of the river during the 1000m long race, the drummer, who played a trumpet, was happy and excited. The track started at one end of my village. In the river, five racing boats were lined up at the starting line. On the boat, the riders were healthy young men sitting in rows, hands on paddles. Each team has a different shirt color. At the start of the departure time, the drums came up and the boats rushed to their destination. Two riverside cheers, cheers of viewers disturbing a river. My village team has finished first. At the end of the festival is the trophy section, everyone is present enough to congratulate the racers.

Tet is a national and family festival. It is an occasion for every Vietnamese to have a good time while thinking about the last year and the next year. At Tet, spring fairs are organized, streets and public buildings are brightly decorated and almost all shops are crowded with people shopping for Tet. At home, every is tidied, special food is cooked,offerings of food, fresh water, flowers and betel are made on the family altar with burning joss- sticks scenting the air. First-footing is made when the lucky visitor comes and children are given lucky money wrapped in a red tiny envelope. Tet is also a time for peace and love. During Tet, children often behave well and friends, relatives and neighbors give each other best wishes for the new year.
