Is there a way to find out the animal for previous years? Like 1995, 2000, 1980 etc?

there are tools giving you a helping hand to find which animal in the zodiac. Vietnam differs from China in a bit in the calendar.

Looks like Chinese new year.

I can´t deny there are some similarities.

It's hard to see the different between Chinese and Vietnamese. Even their culture has similarity in it.

There is not much difference in China and Vietnam. Except French colonial influence in Vietnam. Without France, I think Vietnam would still be a part of China.

the red packets with the Chinese character "福" (Fu, means fortune), and also the 福-labeled picture on the wall. Looks identical to a common Chinese household. Love it!

Nice pics. I think any Chinese would be at home celebrating the Chinese New Year in Vietnam.
