My first TET Holiday in Vietnam was really fun. Me and a friend went to Mui Ne, Na Trang, and DaNang. I stayed on my friends family farm near DaNang and we celebrated traditional TET eating rice cakes, drinking rice wine, playing cards, and eating watermelon seeds. We gave lucky money to the children and sang songs.
Everyone was excited to see a foreigner and they all asked me to buy them a laptop. Needless to say I didn't buy them all laptops but they were still happy i came to their little farming village.
There was no tapwater or indoor plumbing so I had to take a bath outside using well water every morning. I would lower the plastic bucket into the ground on a rope about 3 meters deep. Then I would dump the cold water over my head shivering in the cool morning air.
