Wonton-laust: travelling through the cultures of Asia
Here’s a photo of me, taken by Ding Lin, my father, while on a family vacation on the shore of the Atlantic Beach.
Hello, readers. My name is Tracy Lin, and I am a first generation Chinese American studying Advertising at the University of Florida!
I have always found a fascination with culture and diversity. I guess that is why world history has always been my favorite subject. With that in mind, I designed a blog targeting the different festivals happening in Asia during different times of the year.
This blog is intended for me to learn more about my heritage and the heritage of others. And to educate you, my reader, about the different festivals in Asia. Each country on this list: China, India, Thailand and Vietnam, is inspired by my closest friends.
I believe that the stories left by our ancestors are the greatest gift we can ever receive. It is important to learn about our identity and our origin. It is also important to understand the world and the people who reside in it.

And what better way to celebrate culture than to immerse yourself in it.
Festivals are not only a great opportunity to celebrate tradition, honor culture and appreciate each other, but also an opportunity to allow visitors to peek an eye into an unusual day.
Below are some of the most extravagant, mystical and significant holidays in China, India, Thailand and Vietnam that you must visit in your lifetime.
