Surviving Tet

by aengelson | February 4th, 2010

Tet Festival is approaching. It’s kind of zany here in Hanoi these days. I’ve seen probably more near-misses and motorbike scrapes in the past week than I have the six months we’ve been here.

For those Only OK readers who are expats living in Hanoi, you might find this Tet Survival Guide helpful. The folks at Santa Fe Relocation Services put this together and a friend passed it on to me. It’s got useful tips on Tet traditions, what businesses will be open during the holiday, and much more. If you live in Hanoi, I highly recommend having a look.

Quotable

When I open my eyes I must sigh, for what I see is contrary to my religion, and I must despise the world which does not know that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. — Ludwig van Beethoven, “Letter to Goethe, 1810”
