Tet holiday

The year of Dragon is gonna be on January 23rd. I officially have nine days off for the Tet holiday or the Lunar New Year holiday. Only some Asian countries celebrate it. Chinese people are everywhere on the globe so people just call it Chinese New Year. After two year studying in Australia without Tet, I lost the motivation for preparing for it and I don’t like this holiday anymore. I used to help my parent to sell flowers at the market (my parent grow traditional flowers for the Tet holiday), clean the house, decorate altars of our ancestors, cook the year end dinner and run many other errands. So, it’s all about five years ago. I’m lazier, I don’t wanna do anything for it. I don’t feel connected to the tradition and costumes anymore. It’s not only me but other people also have the feeling. They want the holiday go faster. They travel somewhere on these days. I don’t have anywhere to go so I go to my parent’s and stay there for some days. I actually don’t want to but I don’t wanna make them sad and I don’t wanna answer a lot of questions from my relatives and siblings. The only one thing I wanna do is to visit my grandma. This afternoon or tomorrow morning, I’m gonna ride home. The national route might be over crowded as usual. Haizzz!!
