lifestyle motorbikes negotiated hearts moments unique newcomers experts UNIQUE HANOI I moved to Hanoi three months ago from the United States and each day is still a new adventure filled with special (1) ......................... and lessons.

TRADITIONAL TET PREFERRED BY EVERYONE IN VIET NAM I am Choi Yi Seob. I have been in Ha Noi for nearly five years. My wife and I enjoyed two Tets in Ha Noi and two others in South Korea. This year, we will stay here. My wife – a traditional Vietnamese woman and myself often go together every year to the flower market to buy peach blossom, a kumquat tree and many flowers to decorate our house. I have learned how to cook Vietnamese traditional dishes; however, I have to admit that this is difficult and takes time to do well. Nem (spring rolls) is my favourite dish. I think Tet is really a traditional custom and Viet Nam should keep it. It is better to celebrate it according to the lunar calendar rather than solar because every country has its own traditional customs. Tradition has to be the pride of the nation. In our country, Lunar New Year, known as Seollal (also spelled Seolnal) is one of South Korea’s major holidays. Preparation for Seollal has similarities to the Tet of Viet Nam. The day before Seollal, family members gather to prepare the dishes required for the ancestral rites offerings. These must not only taste good but also look perfect. While Viet Nam has banh chung (rice square cake), nem (spring rolls), xoi (sticky rice), gio lua (pork-pie), South Korean has tteokguk (rice cake soup) and 20 other dishes such as wild vegetables, Korean style pancakes, various types offish, japchae (noodles with meat and vegetables) and many more (according to Mr Choi Yi Seob, Korean, Ha Noi).

1. How long has Mr Choi been in Ha Noi? .............................................................................................................................. 2. What nationality is his wife? .............................................................................................................................. 3. What’s his favourite dish?

.............................................................................................................................. 4. Why is it better to celebrate Tet according to the lunar calendar than solar? .............................................................................................................................. 5. What are some Vietnamese specialities at Tet? ..............................................................................................................................
