I was super excited to research Vietnam, since it is where my parents are from and I was excited to see if there were some things that I didn't know about Vietnam's traditions. I was also excited to research America because I live in America and it is also easier to travel to different places in the U.S.

Besides the typical food like sticky rice cake, parades, and lucky money, I was able to learn some of the decorations used for Tet. The Vietnamese place cay neu, which is a bamboo plant in front of their house.
