 WHAT IS TET ?

• In Vietnam, they called Happy New

Year holiday "TET''

• It is the most important holiday in

Vietnam. It lasted for 7 days.
MORE DETAILS ABOUT TET
• Tet is a lunar new year holiday. It doesn't celebrate
on the first day of the year. Vietnam uses a lunar
calendar, so we usually celebrate it in February. But
this year is much earlier compared to last year. We
will celebrate on January 23rd, 2023.

• On that day, we get some days off. People visit their

hometowns and spend time with their families. But
some alumni need more money to visit their family
in distant places because they went to cities to study.
Usually 4 or 5 days before Tet, all members in the
family clean their house, everything from atop the
desk, the house floor, the stairs, the kitchen, to
even the bottom of the
