Some traditions and customs such as weddings, birthdays and graduation ceremonies are fairly similar from country to country. Candles, cakes, balloons, birthday and wedding wishes are for good luck. Some customs are quite different in many countries.

For example: In Vietnam everyone celebrates their birthdays on New Year’s Day, or on Tet as it is known in Vietnam. The Vietnamese do not acknowledge the exact day they were born. Babies are considered to be one year old on Tet no matter when they were born. On the first morning of Tet, adults congratulate children on becoming a year older by presenting them red envelopes that contain “Lucky Money”, or “li xi”.
