Vietnamese students in Australia celebrate Tet
(VOV) - Vietnamese students at the University of New South Wales (Australia) hosted a get-together on February 1, celebrating the lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
At the function, Vietnamese General Consul to Sydney Mai Phuoc Dung extended Tet wishes to the participants and noted the gathering is a chance for the students to enjoy the joyful atmosphere of the traditional Tet holiday, ease their homesickness, and consolidate solidarity.
He expressed hope the Vietnamese Students Association in New South Wales, and Australia, will be established very soon to coordinate students movements in Australia.
The students make Banh Chung (a savoury Tet cake made of glutinous rice, pork, green bean, and pepper), sticky rice, pork pie, and many other Tet dishes to make the party more friendly and cosier.
Some international friends were invited to sample Tet dishes, exploring the fine customs of the traditional Vietnamese holiday.
