The buzz of TET is in the air

2022 will mark the Year of the Tiger –The holiday period - 29 Jan - February 6, 2022

Tet is the Vietnamese New Year and is the most important festival and public holiday in Vietnam.
It begins with flowers, sharing with friends, cleaning, cooking and preparations.

An example of Tet being the definitive Vietnamese holiday is that 'Tet' itself means 'festival' and is the shortened version of 'Tết Nguyên Đán', which is Sino-Vietnamese for 'Feast of the First Morning of the First Day'.
This year will be no less festive buy maybe not as lavish. The country has expereinced great hardship and some of the poorest will feel this season the most.

For those born in the years of the tiger – https://chinesenewyear.net/zodiac/tiger/#tiger-years
“Like their eponymous zodiac animal, people born in years of the Tiger are vigorous and ambitious, daring and courageous, enthusiastic and generous, self-confident with a sense of justice and a commitment to help others for the greater good.”

ITS Vietnam will be closed from 29th Jan 2022 to 06th Feb 2022. 

We wish you Happy TET for 2022. Lets think like a tiger in 2022!
