The latest Saigoneer Podcast episode is available now!
On this week's show, we begin (1:45) by discussing a few of the incredibly diverse, occasionally bizarre festivals that coincide with specific dates on the lunar calendar throughout Vietnam. One, for example, involves trying to prevent other teams from successfully cooking a pot of rice, following by trying to catch a duck. Everyone knows about Tet and the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there are so many more beyond those two.
Then (18:42), we talk about some of the awkward questions, often about relationships, young people get asked by family members when they visit for the holidays. Why do these get asked? Should we have sympathy for the people asking them?
As always, we close with Bánh Mì Banter (32:01).
