January 29, 2011 - Tet


A girl in an ao dai, performs a traditional Vietnamese dance during festivities leading up to Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year.  The Vietnamese consider 2011 to be the year of the Cat, symbolized by sensitivity, gentleness and kindness.

Young children receive from elders, money in red envelopes called Li Xi. The red of the envelopes is considered good luck and is supposed to ward off evil spirits.
