Tet In Vietnam is the most important festival in the Vietnamese calendar; a celebration focused on friends, family and preparing for the year ahead. Tet itself means Festival and now I know why we have also heard the term 'Tết Nguyên Đán', which is Sino-Vietnamese for 'Feast of the First Morning of the First Day'.
Here, school children are participating in a 3-legged race with 4 people (I have no clue as to how many legs were really in the race?). The sign in the photo means " Welcome Party to Spring Camp".
In preparation for Tet, all the hotels, homestay, homes and streets in Hoi An have been preparing for Tet. Each day we've noticed more and more flags hung overhead, and lanterns hung from every vacant space.

Hoi An and it's remote riverside pathways have become colourful!

We've watched the gradual construction of a large stage and the entrance over our bridge to and from An Hoi has been decorated so elaborately, it almost causes more havoc trying to navigate. There is certainly an increase of traffic and people on the streets.

Here are Julie and Mark enjoying the rehearsal.
