Bonjour Thuong,

Mon rêve : se promener dans un endroit enchanté plein de fleurs ! A Nantes, nous n'en sommes pas loin : il y a des parcs et des espaces verts fleuris en grand nombre ! En toutes saisons, le regard trouve à s'en réjouir !

A Nantes, l'Association des Vietnamiens de Loire-Atlantique fête le TET avec une soirée le 21 Janvier prochain : c'est l'occasion de se retrouver entre amis qui aiment le Vietnam et les Vietnamiens. Une belle soirée en perspective : on y mange bien et les prestations des étudiants vietnamiens contribuent à l'embellir ! Je ferais certainement quelques photos, que je partagerai ici (si vous le voulez bien !)

Merci pour tes belles photos fleuries !

Nhat Tan apricot village prepares for Tet holiday
VietNamNet Bridge – Gardeners in Hanoi’s famous flower and apricot village of Nhat Tan are in a hurry to cultivate trees to prepare for the lunar New Year (Tet holiday), which is coming in over a month.

A gardener is pruning to urge the tree to have buds early.





This year the winter is not very cold so some trees have blossomed.






Apricot is the symbol of spring and apricot trees is a must-to-have thing in each Vietnamese
family during the Tet holiday. Some gardeners are worried as apricot trees blossom early this year.
















Some gardeners have to cut apricot trees to sell early.











A small branch of apricot is priced VND40,000 ($2).





Wild apricot trees do not have buds yet.











Gardeners are always worried because apricot trees blossom early in warm
weather and do not yield flowers in cold weather.

Superbes photos des ses fleurs et personnes!

et pas de Têt sans banh chung

anh chung makers hurry to welcome Tet VietNamNet Bridge – As the lunar New Year (Tet) approaches, some suburban villages of Hanoi are very busy making banh chung (square glutinous rice cake) to serve the market.

Banh chung (steamed cake) is a traditional Vietnamese cake which is made from glutinous rice, mung bean, pork and other ingredients. Its origin is told by the legend of Lang Lieu, a prince of the sixth Hung Vuong, who became Hung Vuong’s successor thank to his creation of banh chung and banh day, which symbolized respectively the Earth and the Sky.

Considered an essential element of the family altar on the occasion of Tet, the making and eating banh chung during this time is a well-preserved tradition of Vietnamese people. Beside the Tet holiday, banh chung is also tasted all year round as a delicacy of Vietnamese cuisine and one of the national dishes of Vietnam besides nem ran and pho.

Tranh Khuc village in Duyen Ha commune, Thanh Tri district, Hanoi, produces more than 10,000 banh chung a day.

Most of families in the village produce banh chung to serve the Hanoi market. Normally, each family makes around 300 banh chung a day but for Tet, they have to hire additional workers.

Children are also involved in this traditional trade. They wash edible canna leaves and strip off the ribs.

In cold weather, this woman has to wear gloves to work. She said her family has pursued this trade for several generations.

Banh chung is the symbol of Tet.

At the age of 90, Mrs. Ty still works very hard during these busy days. She said she has done her whole life. “I love this trade very much. I hope my descendants will continue this tradition forever,” Mrs. Ty said.

Tranh Khuc villagers have measured materials very carefully to have up-to-standard banh chung.

Professional banh chung makers don’t need moulds but their cakes are very square and regular.
They can make one banh chung in a minute.

Mrs. Nhan, 73, has also been a banh chung maker since she was a little girl.

Banh chung are boiled by industrial boilers.
