Vietnam is the main language and Ao dai is Vietnamese traditional dress and it is also considered as symbol of Vietnamese woman ,Ao Dai makes the body beauty of woman set off , we usually wear Ao dai in important occasions such as wedding ceremony, tet holiday,meetings... and Ao Dai is chosen as unifrom in highschool, big companies , Vietnam Airlines
Tet is the most important holidays in Vietnam, it is on January 1 of the lunar calendar, before Tet is about one week, exciting atmosphere covers everywhere, everybody seems hurrier, houses are decorated, housewives prepare special foods to serve Tet...and flower markets are special feature in Vietnam, they are opened at a lot of places but the most beautiful and largest flower market is Nguyen Hue in HoChiMinh City , a lot of beautiful and rare flowers are brought to Nguyen Hue Flower market to decorate and sell.
