Oh Yes . NO Offense NO Offense ....
Yes , I Agree there is negatives side of it ... In fact from the vietnamese cultures, I actually extract alot of the theories behind their cultures and beliefs ... I am always learning and thus applying what is good and beneficial ...
In fact, we chinese in Singapore has been losing too much of tradition and beliefs here ... from how the vietnamese carried out their beliefs, it makes me even stronger to preserve and uphold out chinese beliefs and cultures.
I told my wife CNY I don't sleep til the sunrise and she said I crazy ... BUT after I explain what is the purpose , she will smile back and said oh ok, vietnamese don't practice that ...
Likewise in Vietnam, there do not have re-union dinner on the 29/30 night, so she was very surprised by the celebration and of course the praying at 12 midnight ..
So I guess , there is always some lessons for eveyone to learn ...
