00:00Starting the Year of the Snake, not with a hiss, but a bang.
00:07Fireworks and lion dances, bringing good fortune for the Lunar New Year.
00:12It means a new year to start and refresh and have peace and love in our lives.
00:17Just being with family, having lots of fun, yeah, lots of good things.
00:22As the zodiac year of the dragon ends, the snake brings a change in tone.
00:27Dragon is a feisty animal, so brings everything big.
00:30The snake is known for its calmness, its cool-headedness, and its charm.
00:37Zodiac believers think that could have real implications.
00:40Very good year to bring back, to lower down the temperature of the globe, literally, and
00:48also world affairs, hopefully, so to bring back sanity, humanity, and calmness.
00:57The happiness and appreciation of the Lunar New Year has grown over time.
01:00When I first came, like 36 years ago, there was not that much, but now Lunar New Year
01:07has been celebrated around the world, and particularly in Australia.
01:11And of course, there's the food.
01:12For the Vietnamese community here in Cabramatta, Lunar New Year is all about sticky rice, known
01:18as banh tet.
01:19And let me tell you, it's pretty good.
01:24Happy New Year, good luck, anything you want to do, and anything important for you.
01:32Bringing hope and joy for an optimistic year ahead.
