Tết đến, tết qua, tết tiếc nuối
Tôi vui, tôi buồn, tôi thẩn thơ
Tết đi hẹn tôi ngày trở lại
Tôi mong, tôi đợi, bỗng tôi vui

Vietnamese coffee shop : Canh Ngo.
My personal hobby is finding every coffee shop nearby, which make me find so much joy and have more memorable time with my family and myself, too.
I found Canh Ngo when I was going to market with mom. This shop was redecorated from an old stockpile, building under the Vietnamese system of budget subsidies. It had it own retro style, old memories, and I think these are great things for me to try out!
The drink today is coffee with coconut milk, on top is dry coconut. It serviced with sunflower seeds. The coffee was delightful : light sweet but greasy come from coconut milk, a little bitter with strong smell from coffee.
Such a wonderful drink!

Ngày xưa, lúc nhà ông bà mình chưa xây lại, nếp nhà cũ có cả một gian nhà riêng chỉ dành cho bếp củi. Sau này, ngôi nhà được xây lại, gian bếp đó cũng biến mất theo. Bây giờ, bếp củi chỉ là một góc nhỏ, tính ra còn chẳng bằng 1 phần 4 gian bếp cũ kia.
Mình còn nhớ ngày xưa mỗi lần về quê đều thích chui vào bếp hở lửa, còn lấy mấy que củi cho vào bếp còn đang cháy, rồi lại lấy ra phe phe phẩy phẩy. Rồi cũng vì nghịch như vậy mà mình toàn bị "ăn chửi" mà có bao giờ chừa đâu.
Mấy độ Tết, con cháu tụ họp lại ở nhà ông bà. Rồi cùng gói bánh, gói nem. Rồi lại đợi đến khi đem bánh chưng đi nấu. Khi đó mấy đứa con nít tụi mình chỉ muốn thức để trông nồi bánh (dù hồi đó có biết trở lửa hay gì đâu) nhưng vẫn muốn tụ tập chơi với nhau trong căn bếp lửa đó.
Bây giờ cuộc sống ngày càng hiện đại nhưng mình lại không cảm nhận được những hương vị thân quen vốn có của ngày Tết. Càng lớn mình càng hoài niệm Tết xưa hơn, nhớ nếp nhà cũ, nhớ gian bếp lửa ngày xưa kia...

Tết
If you ask me “What is Tet?”, I will probably say “It is the combination of everything, of reunion and gatherings, of renewing and refreshing. It is the turnover of nature and a new beginning”. To explain in a theoretical way, it’s basically Lunar New Year. Yes, that explanation is totally correct; but to me, Lunar New Year is a very objective term to describe Tết. Tết and other countries’ Lunar New Year are slightly different and maybe that’s why we call them with different names.
According to Wikipedia, “Tết celebrates the arrival of spring based on the Vietnamese calendar, which is mostly based on the lunisolar Chinese calendar and usually has the date in January or February in the Gregorian calendar”. In another way, our traditional holiday is quite similar to Christmas. We usually go back to our hometown to celebrate it with our family; and instead of buying Christmas pine trees, we buy flowers that represent spring. To us, flowers, such as peach blossom (in the North) or apricot blossom (in the South), symbolize the turnover of a new year. When all flowers start to show off their beautiful colors, it means something good is coming. There aren’t any ornaments, mistletoes, or Santa Claus figures, we decorate our houses with rituals written on red papers or fruit trays; and instead of receiving presents, kids usually receive red envelopes for luck.
On Tết, the buzzing and busy cities turn into forlorn houses. People leave those big cities to return to their small and true house-to where they call home. And that’s the reason why Tết is so special and important to every Vietnamese. Tết allows you to eat every traditional food, which may be unhealthy, without thinking about your weight and help you resolve conflicts. It’s when you leave your phones alone when your playlist is full of Tết music instead of Taylor Swift or Shawn Mendes. To me, Tết is not only a holiday, but it is also an occasion for you to realize the importance of family and to reconnect with your relatives. It is the time when you truly live for yourself and be yourself, a time to rest and a time to think about a new start.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a chance to return back to my hometown in Tết. I’m in Canada and repairing for my finals. Yes, I was desperately sad and missing my home and my family in Vietnam, but at some point, I realize that Tet is not a permanent place, it likes a wind that will follow you wherever you go. Finally, to all the people who live far from home, Tết is family and family will always be with you.
If you have a chance, come to Vietnam and experience it. I guarantee you, Tết only needs one try to win your heart.
