Ep. 14: Tết: Celebrating the Year of the Tiger
from A General Good Time · host Lena Truong
Chúc Mừng Năm Mới! Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate as we enter the Year of the Tiger! Growing up, my family and I celebrated Lunar New Year, also known as Tết in Vietnamese, which refers to the start of spring and subsequently everyone’s birthday. Each year, there would be a big gathering, traditional games, and my favorite part— red envelopes filled with money and blessings for the new year. Please enjoy this bonus episode as I reflect on the upcoming holiday and its many traditions.
