Yep, it was pretty fun! Me and my cousins gambled playing tien len, lol, and I won 40k from my siblings The food was plentiful and and everyone was in a good mood. we made candle lanterns out of nuoc dua and sent it down the river at night. happy times, good memories.
I haven't celebrate tet in Vietnam for 8 years! I was born there and celebrated it every year for my whole life until I was 6. It's probably the funnest moment in my life. I wish I could relive such joys again someday when I'm out of school. ^^

Haha yeah the "eating the same food for a week" is really annoying.
But i think Tet is more about the preparation if u know what i mean. The excitement is just in the air, people become happier and they r more in the mood for family/friend/co-workers bonding. It's weird :)) It's just a time for everyone to be happy and life is good again =))
Tet gives them excuse to let go of things. It's like "Hey did u do this and that and that?"..."Nah Tet is coming in 2 weeks, i dont care" =))
It's really fun :X
