The two took a walk through streets and explored the Old Quarter and popular flowers during Tet. The host briefed the guest on cherry blossoms, a traditional kind of flower that is present in the houses of Vietnamese people in the north during Tet.
Hang Luoc flower market has formed part of the unique culture of residents in the Hanoi Old Quarter as well as the capital city. The market convenes only once in a year, spanning from the 15th day to the last day of the last lunar month.
The two ladies then visited stalls selling Tet products where they were introduced to the traditional craft of making incense, as well as the types of the product used in each traditional Vietnamese holiday and Tet. After enjoying their tea, they got pieces of calligraphy featuring Vietnamese words of "Phuc An" and "Hoa An", which mean “Luck and Peace” and “Harmony and Peace,” respectively.
Both Vietnamese and Philippine people celebrate Lunar New Year.
