Teachers force extra classes forced upon students
================================================== ===

VietNamNet Bridge – Many parents complain that their children are overloaded by regular school hours and they do not want them to attend extra classes, but they must. There are many methods that teachers can use to force students to go to extra classes.

Students of Nguyen Van Kip Primary School in HCM City finish school at 4:30 pm every day. None rush home after the drum signals the end of the school day. About 20 students instead are seen carrying their schoolbags to a classroom about 100 metres from the school, where they attend an extra class. The students have small meals for a few minutes before they begin a new study shift.

Two other extra classes for students of the school also gather in the evenings, quartered in the next alley.

H., a parent of a 3rd grade student at the school, was seen waiting to pick up his child at 6pm. He told a Tuoi tre reporter that, at the beginning of the school year, the teacher told the students that they must attend extra classes. “If students do not go to extra classes, the teacher would not take responsibility for student’s bad marks,” the man revealed.

H. explained that, as a result, his son attends an extra class at the teacher’s home near the school. During the class, held every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, the teacher review lessons. Parents pay 150,000 dong a month for this extra class.

Many 12th graders of Nguyen Thi Dieu High School in HCM City complain that they don’t want to study extra hours with their teacher, but they must. A parent told Tuoi tre that the teacher asks students to go to four extra classes in mathematics, physics, chemistry and literature. Many students only pay the teacher, while they just sit in the class.

N.T.Tl, a parent of a student of Phu Dinh Secondary School in HCM City was surprised when the teacher asked all students to attend extra lessons in the afternoon, from 1.15 pm to 5.15 pm, charging 320,000 dong per month.

“Eight students do not attend the extra classes, so they don’t get the documents for exam preparation compiled by the teacher. During school hours, the teacher asked students to do the exercises in these handouts, and those students who did not have them had to sit idle,” T. complained.

G., whose daughter is studying at Nam Thanh Cong Primary School in Hanoi, at first decided not to send her to extra classes, because the girl is overloaded with lessons. Later, she later changed her mind.

When the girl did not go to the extra class opened by her teacher, the girl received bad grades on tests. Since she began going to the extra class, her marks have improved considerably.

“Other parents said they once had the same problem,” G. commented.

According to a Nghia Tan Secondary School teacher in Hanoi, teachers do not force students to go to extra classes, and students and their parents decide whether or not to attend extra classes.

However, M., who has a child studying at Nghia Tan School, explained that while teachers extra classes are not compulsory, in fact, teachers apply many methods to force students to attend.

“One time, I was asked by the teacher to visit her at the school. She gave me my son’s test score of 8 /10. She then commented that, had my child had gone to the extra class, he would have a 10, because the teacher gave the same question to the extra class,” M. related.

A Dong Da School student in Hanoi complained that those who do not go to extra classes always receive discriminatory treatment from their teacher. “We know the teacher is not satisfied with students who do not go to extra classes,” she observed.

Research finds Vietnamese men intimidated by modern women
================================================== =====

Growing sexual independence among Vietnamese women is generating anxiety among men who have growing doubts about ‘traditional’ masculine advantage, study found



Huynh said that his uncertainty about whether or not his partner was a virgin initially caused him to feel cheated. However, he also said this ambiguity just demonstrated to him that virginity is not an indicator of a good character.

“I recognized that even though she was only one year older than me, maybe she had [had] prior sexual affairs... because, from what we learned at school, [if she was a virgin] she would have been in very great pain... The sex seemed quite painful, [but] not extreme,” said the 26-year-old man from Hanoi.

Huynh said he told the story to question his own expectations and prejudices and not to cast aspersions on her character.

Vietnam’s rapidly changing society has re-defined female sexual identities inspiring anxiety among men about their own sexual abilities and doubts about “traditional” masculine sexual advantages, said Philip Martin, a lecturer at RMIT University’s College of Design and Social Context in Australia.

Martin conducted 13 months of field work in Hanoi and interviewed 26 men, aged 18-30, during his research.

According to Nguyen Thi Thu Nam, a researcher at the Institute for Studies of Society Economy and Environment (ISEE), qualitative studies based on small but focused samples are common in sex and sexuality research.

Nam, who recently led a team of researchers in authoring the country’s first major study on female sexuality, called Martin’s findings interesting and important.

“[Martin] has offered evidence that young men and women, considered as sexual agents, are in a continuous negotiation progress for their role and gender identity in a rapidly changing society,” she told Thanh Nien Weekly in an e-mail.

“I realized that practically all the Vietnamese men under the age of 30 I came to know were expressing a profound sense of restlessness... Many Vietnamese men were thinking a great deal about ‘change’ in the socio-economic and gender order, and the implications for their lives as young men,” Martin told Thanh Nien Weekly via email.

In his study “These days virginity is a feeling: heterosexuality and change in young urban Vietnamese men” first published in the August issue of the Culture, Health & Sexuality Journal, Martin found that young men in urban Vietnam are increasingly ambivalent about notions of “gendered morality” in general and the significance of female virginity in particular.

Martin alleged that this shift began with doi moi (Vietnam’s socioeconomic reform launched in 1986) which initiated an evolution in female sexuality.

“Such ambivalence might at first suggest a shift toward improved gender and sexual equality. Findings reveal that some young urban Vietnamese men construct and reinforce explicitly ‘masculinist’ gender ideologies by watching heterosexual pornography in groups with male friends or by visiting female sex workers for the purpose of watching their friends have sex,” the study found.

Changing women

According to the study, the young men have deduced that as young women today have changing fashions, bodies and opportunities (compared to those who grew up prior to doi moi) they must also have changing sexual needs and expectations.

They also believe that the physical evidence for female virginity is no longer so reliable due to the prevalence of hymen-reconstruction surgery.

Duy, 28, said that before doi moi, Vietnamese girls were beautiful but very skinny. After 1990, the economy of Vietnam was growing following trade normalization with the US and the society changed a lot.

“Girls became more modern... Now they are taller; more plump-faced, plump-bodied, with plump hips, a plump chest, and with whiter skin... their bodies have become more lustful, and they wear more provocative clothes,” he told researchers.

Some men argued that women’s appearances are not always reliable indicators of their changing attitudes and behavior toward sex.

Another interviewee, Tuan, suggested that those young women who don’t wear risqué clothes are also “more free” than “before,” but choose to conceal their freedom by dressing chastely.

Tuan referred to one female colleague who pretends to be very reserved about sexual affairs in her dress and conversation, but keeps a lot of sexual poems and material stored on her computer.

Men’s adapting problems

Martin said that young Vietnamese men’s observations of the changing role of women in their families and in society following doi moi greatly affected their conceptions of masculinity and behavior “as men.”

“Young men in part negotiate changing social conditions in general, and changing gender relations in particular, by invoking ‘traditional’ patriarchal and Neo-Confucian tropes.”

“Where young women in Vietnam were once thought to have little control in their sexual relations, they are now understood by young men as having sophisticated sexual needs, and demanding expectations. These ideas are regularly reinforced by stories in Vietnamese popular culture around women’s changing sexual energies and activities,” he said.

“In turn, young men reflect on their own uncertain sexual roles and responsibilities, and question the practicality of ‘traditional’ gender norms and narrow expectations around sex and sexuality,” he said, adding that the trend has helped improve relations between men and women while raising concerns.

Martin found that young men were increasingly turning to commercial sex to satisfy their fantasies of traditional power.

Hieu, 19, suggested that women are “more open on this issue.” He said young women’s “openness” to their sexuality and knowledge of sex meant that it would be “easier” for him to find a girlfriend, but it’s also likely that inexperienced men would lose their girls.

A Vietnamese woman writing to The Gioi Dan Ong (Men’s world) magazine said that she never felt a happy moment with her husband. “I have never had any happy moments, he hugged me for a few minutes then he ejaculated immediately,” the woman wrote.

University students work hard, struggle to keep studying
================================================== ====

VietNamNet Bridge – After school hours, many students rush to restaurants, pubs, bookstores or shopping malls, where they begin new working shifts. Work can bring them money, which allows them to keep studying, and valuable experience which will be useful in their later lives.



While her classmates spent time relaxing after a week of hard learning, Ta Linh, a student of the Vocational School in District 1, HCM City still had to go to work on Saturday and Sunday.

In a sweaty shirt, Linh told Nguoi lao dong’s reporter: “I served as a waitress at a wedding party in Tan Binh district, for which I earned 150,000 dong”.

Thu Thuy, an attractive student with a nice smile, who studies at the HCM City University of Social Sciences and Humanity, said she has had two-years of experience working as a waitress at wedding parties. “Sometimes I had to serve at three or four wedding parties which made short of breath. However, the job can bring me two million dong a month,” she said.

Phuong Thuy, a “colleague” of Thu Thuy, said that she is now a third year university student. Her parents are working in rice fields in a poor area of Nghe An province. Therefore, they can only give Thuy 1-1.2 million dong a month.

The sum of money is really too small to cover expenses in HCM City, while everything is getting more and more expensive. Thuy shares room-for-rent with a friend for which she has to pay 400,000 a month. She also has to pay at least 800,000 dong a month for meals and basic needs.

“Besides, I still have to spend money on foreign language learning, books and birthday parties. If I did not work, I would not be able to live and keep studying in HCM City for four years,” she said.

Even the students, who live in HCM City with their well-off families, also want to go to work. Minh, who lives in District 10, related that though his parents give him pocket money every month and pay for all his needs, he still decided to take a job at a wine company. Every day he goes to restaurants and pubs to introduce the products of the company. If he can find buyers, he will enjoy a commission which is equal to 20 percent of the sale prices.

All the students said that it is not easy to earn money. Thuy related that two years ago, she took a job as a waitress at a restaurant. At first, she was happy with the job, because she could earn 50,000 dong per night, while she also could get tips from clients. However, one night, a drunk man took inappropriate liberties with her. As she was too frightened, she dropped meals on the customer. As the result, she was fired immediately.

Hanh, a student, who lives in District 9 in HCM City, related that when she was working for a bia hoi (draft beer) restaurant on Thong Nhat Road in Thu Duc district, she accidentally broke a tray. As the result, she was forced to pay 1.2 million dong to the restaurant’s owner, though the tray was worth 400,000 dong only.

Working proves to be the only choice for many students. Ta Linh admitted that since she began working, her grades have become worse. “However, I have no other choice. In order to survive in the big city, you have to work hard,” she said.

Going to school – the service is much in demand
================================================== =

VietNamNet Bridge – A lot of students have found a new way to earn money. They provide a new kind of services which have not been seen in any other countries in the world: going to school in the name of clients.


Things that the service providers have to do are going to class everyday, being present at roll-call, attending training courses, and sometimes doing tests on behalf of clients.

The service providers are mostly regular training students of universities, while people, who need to use the service are mostly in-service training students. Since in-service training students are always busy with their current works, they do not have time to go to class everyday. Many in-service training students register to follow training courses, because they want to have new bachelor degrees which allow them go get promotion in their job. Meanwhile, they really do not care much about the knowledge.

Both the demand and the supply are very high. Service providers – mostly students from small cities and provinces – like to provide the service in order to get money to fund their study. Meanwhile, in-service training students need to use the service, because they would rather spend their time on other works which can bring fat money, than going to class.

It is very easy to look for service providers nowadays. Sometimes, the service providers can be found right in classes. An in-service student of a school said he knows a “service provider” who goes everyday to his class. “If you have demand, please tell her, she will meet all the demands,” he said.

Especially, the service has been advertised publicly, though the behaviour of going to class in other people’s name is considered as illegal. If someone enters a school, he will receive a lot of leaflets, where he can find the contact addresses of “service providers” and the information about how to find them. All the service providers promise to give “high quality” service to their clients, i.e. that the service providers will not miss any lessons, while lecturers will not discover that the people who go to class everyday are just imposters.

The service has been even advertised on internet. If accessing to some websites forum.clip.vn, www.hocthue.net, www.hvtc.vn, www.info.vn and chutin.vn, such information about the service can be easily found.

“You are a busy person? You have to spend your time on family’s works, friends’ parties, and you cannot go to class every day? Then you need someone, who, on behalf of you, go to class everyday and do tests for you. We can satisfy your demand. Call us 0988.85.22.xx (Mr. Dinh),” an advertisement piece reads.

Especially, the service provider stressed that when using the service, people will have the opportunity to help poor students overcome difficulties and keep their study.

A lot of students have got familiar to a website specializing in providing this kind of service at Hocthue.net. The websites describes itself as the biggest website in this field.

Tien phong’s reporters called 0974419xxx, a phone number given on the website, and met a student, V, who said he is studying at the Hanoi University of Industry. V said the service fee is about 40-50,000 dong per lesson.

Sad case for the students :(

Banks stop disbursement, university students weep bitterly
================================================== ===

VietNamNet Bridge – Banks and universities have voiced the same concern that the narrowing of the programme on lending to poor university students will force many students out of schools. They strongly believe that the programme needs to be resumed in the same scale in order to fund students’ study.


Nguyen Van Ngoan from Ton Duc Thang University:

The demand for borrowing money from the Bank for Social Policies is very big. So far, about 8000 students of our university have expressed their will to borrow money from the bank this school year.

I think policy makers need to inform students and their parents in advance about any changes in the policy. I am afraid that many students will encounter difficulties because they do not have money to pay tuition. Meanwhile, universities will also encounter difficulties because the education program will be a mess.

The State should think of delaying the implementation of the new policy and I think it should be implemented in the second semester of the school year.



Tran Dinh Ly, MA, from the HCM City Agriculture and Forestry University

About 8000 students from our school need to borrow capital each year. Not too long ago we were so happy when we heard that all poor students could borrow money to maintain their studies. But now we are now worried because we heard that the subjects to the loans from the Bank for Social Policies will be narrowed.

A lot of universities and students are stunned by the sudden changes in the policy on lending to poor students. I know that maybe the bank is facing difficulties with capital sources, but such a sudden change proves to be unreasonable.

I know many poor students have cried when hearing the news, because they fear that they may have to drop-out of school.



Associate Professor Dr Tran Hoang Ngan, Deputy President of the HCM City Economics University

The programme on lending to poor students has been running smoothly and there is no reason for us to stop it. I think that we should use capital from different sources and we can mobilize capital from enterprises. Enterprises will use the labour force and they need to take responsibility for the development in human resources by contributing money to funds reserved for lending to poor students.

Besides, we can also think of seeking capital from other sources, including commercial banks, if we have reasonable mechanisms. The interest rates at which commercial banks lend to students may be higher than the loans provided by the Bank for Social Policies, but must be lower than the banks’ consumer interest rates.



Tran Van Tien, Deputy Director of the HCM City branch of the Bank for Social Policies

People will meet many difficulties with the sudden changes. By September 30, 548 billion dong had been disbursed to 51,598 students in HCM City. With the new decision, thousands of students in HCM City will not be able to continue taking out loans.

I think the State should seek more capital sources so as to have more capital to lend to students. The investment in education proves to be the best investment.

I know a college student in VN. She told me the tuition is 2 billion dong (S$140) per semester but she could not afford it. She can borrow money from the bank at an interest rate of 6%. This is a very good deal because if she deposits the money in the bank, the interest rate is 11%. That means she can make a profit of 5%. :)

If you can speak Cantonese, learning Vietnamese is much easier, because some of the pronunciations are exactly the same. When I was in Vietnam and talking with my mum in Cantonese, Vietnamese people could catch a bit what we said. Sometimes when you listen carefully, they seem to be talking a mixture of Cantonese and Hakka.

Actually Vietnamese is actually Chinese in hanyu pinyin form. Few hundred years ago, Vietnamese was written in Chinese characters. During the 19th century, when French priest came to spread Christianity in Vietnam, one of them romanized the Vietnamese words into today's present form.

Look deep into it, Vietnamese culture is actually about 70-80% Chinese culture. They may be originated from China, of course they won't admit, in fact they came out with some kind of fairy tales about their existence, which when I read it, is quite laughable.

Vietnamese is not that difficult to learn, pronunciations have few tones like in Chinese, because its foundation is actually Chinese. Easier than learning Japanese. But the language sounds crude or rough, unlike Thai, which is quite nice language, like singing.

Homage to goddess of wealth
========================================

VietNamNet Bridge – Every year, thousands of people flock to Chau Doc Town near the Cambodian border in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta to pay their respects to Ba Chua Xu, the famous goddess of wealth, at a temple on top of Sam Mountain.

The trip is usually taken during the 15th day of the first lunar month or in the second half of the fourth lunar month, which is typically in February and May, respectively, on the Western calendar.

But I think the beauty of this incredibly friendly town is revealed best during the rainy season, or what is more commonly known in this low-lying region as the high-tide season.

Recently, I took a 280km trip from HCM City to Chau Doc to sightsee and shop leisurely on a xe loi, a pedicab drawn by a bicycle, as in the old days.

I planned to venture deep into the forest to come face-to-face with thousand of storks, cranes and other feathered friends, and taste delicious dishes made of linh fish and dien dien flowers.

Departing the city at 6am, I marvelled at the view of verdant fields and the swift-moving rivers of the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta during the six-hour bus trip.

Although there were few accommodations in the town, I was impressed with the French architecture and gracious welcome from the Victoria Chau Doc Hotel, which offered me a lemon-and-ginger tea and a cool lemongrass-scented towel.

Located on the bank of the Bassac River at the Three-River Fork, the hotel, which opened in 1999, is built in a colonial style.

Entering the hotel conjured up that unmistakable feeling of arriving at a new place and transported me to a different place and time when art and culture intersected with the generous spirit of comfort and good company.

For lunch, I ate at the hotel’s Bassac restaurant, where I had linh fish tempura, sauteed dien dien flower with baby shrimp and steamed rice.

I then took a xe loi around town before visiting the Chau Doc market, only 500m from the hotel.

The market was a jumble of special foods, including dried linh salted fish; sun-dried sac (gourami) fish; mam Thai, a fish sauce made with snakehead fish, palm sugar, fried rice flour and grated papaya; mam long (salted fish’s gut); may fruit; and duong thot not (palm sugar).

I bought gifts for friends and family, and did not forget to purchase a kilo of fresh lotus seed, which was an inexpensive VND20,000 (US$1). During the evenings, I loved sipping this drink as I watched my favourite HBO film channel in my hotel room.

My second day started early when I joined the hotel’s environmental campaign, the seventh annual Green Day on September 11, the date of a series of coordinated attacks by al-Qaeda upon the US nine years ago.

It was fun but I nearly lost my breath when climbing up Sam Mountain for the clean-up with 20 local students from the Thu Khoa Huan Secondary School, local community members and hotel guests.



Unoccupied

Halfway up the mountain, the hotel staff showed me a beautiful, unoccupied resort built by Victoria Hotels&Resorts eight years ago. The corporation has yet to put it into operation because of the limited number of tourists who visit Chau Doc.

However, the brick-and-wood resort was creatively designed, with its five rows of bungalows looking like fingers of an outstreched hand hanging down the side of the mountain.

From anywhere on the resort grounds, guests can enjoy splendid views over Chau Doc’s paddy fields and Cambodia.

I continued my "day of exercise" by hiring a bicycle from the hotel for a promenade around the ethnic Cham community in Da Phuoc Commune (An Phu District), 2km away from the hotel. I visited authentic houses on stilts, where young Cham women and elders worked on wooden spools and weaving machines that turned out attractive sarongs, towels and shirt fabrics.

The Cham people still retain their distinctive dress of brocade and culture. Young women wear bright purples, yellows and greens while the married women wear darker colours.

In order to satisfy my curiosity, a young girl showed me how to weave.

First she warped the loom and then wove a few rows of a straight weave. There was about a centimetre worth of weaving, which was a good base to begin our brocade pattern.

Then, she opened a shed and left the primary shuttle inside. As she held the top threads in her left hand, she counted how many threads she had to pass from her left to her right hand before she got to the place where the pattern would begin.

I finished the day by travelling 17km to Nha Ban Town in Tinh Bien District. From there it was a hop, skip and a jump to Cam Mountain, right next to Tra Su Cajeput Forest.

Jumping in a sampan, we rowed the remaining kilometre and a half to the forest while taking in the view of the mysterious green landscape along both riverbanks.

We cruised smoothly around the swamp with its wildlife and were greeted by the sounds of whistling ducks, kingfishers, cuckoos, coucals, spotted doves, cranes, water-hens, egrets and herons.

As we passed by, we spotted a group of storks on their way home nestled among the dense mangrove jungle.

"Beside the abundant and splendid flora, this is home to more than 70 species of birds, including two rare species of Indian stork, the Mycteria leucocephala and the dien dien or Anhinga Melanogaster," the forest guard Uyen said.

Climbing a lonely watchtower built of mangrove logs high over the serenity of the jungle, I saw a vast panorama of greenery punctuated by thousands of snow-white wings.

As the sun set and night arrived, the view changed and became livelier as the screeching birds returned home, covering the dark sky with a huge mass of feathers.

Viet Kieu begin to invest in VN property market
================================================== ===

A large number of Viet Kieu (overseas Vietnamese) have started to invest in the Vietnamese real estate market.


Investments had become more diversified and stronger than ever, said Megagroup’s Director Nguyen Xuan Chau.

Chau added that the trend had started around 10 years ago and really picked up over the past two years.

In 2010, he said, a series of resorts and ecological tourism projects were announced with a growing number of North American management and consultancy firms co-ordinating the projects.

To capitalise on this, Minh Viet Investment Joint Stock Company recently bought into the franchise of a famous foreign company in order to use its trademark to invest in Viet Nam’s real estate market.

According to the com-pany’s director Chi Edward, his company will use the trademark to do business in training and brokerage as well as managing and developing the real estate market in Viet Nam.

The company had previously invested in projects in Ha Noi, HCM City and the northern province of Quang Ninh.

As further proof, at the end of 2009, the director of Binh Thien An Joint Stock Company, Viet kieu Trinh Thanh Huy, decided to return from Russia and announced that his company was looking to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into the real estate market in HCM City.

Binh Thien An is currently involved with the Thao Dien Metropolice project in District 2 of HCM City.

In the second and third quarters of this year, many other tourism developments were announced by overseas Vietnamese investors from eastern Europe.

The Vietnamese real estate market was still young. It had a huge potential to attract investment from overseas Vietnamese, Chau said.

Referring to a recent survey, experts said the new trend would create competitiveness in the market which would help develop it further.

The survey was carried out at an international real estate exhibition with the participation of 46 countries.

The results showed that investment interest in the Vietnamese real estate market had grown by 20-30 per cent since 2008.

Another survey conducted by a British company also found that in the next two years, Viet Nam would become one of the top three markets of interest in the world.

University degrees cannot help graduates get good jobs
================================================== ===

VietNamNet Bridge – A lot of young people eagerly return to their home villages after graduating from universities, hoping to devote themselves to the native land. However, in many cases, their noble intentions cannot be fulfilled, because they cannot find jobs.


Feeling confident with the university degree, LBD returned to Phu Yen province with the simple wish: becoming a literature teacher at a village school. Ignoring the invitation to work for an agency in HCM City, D decided to return to Phu Yen right after she finished the HCM City University of Education, hoping that she would be useful to the children in rural areas.

In fact, D was warned about the difficulties she would meet when looking for jobs in the home village, but she believed that her high qualifications would help her find a good job.

The brain and… the money

D has every reason to believe that she would be able to get a job at a village school. She graduated the university with excellent results. , She also wonseveral prizes for student scientific researchers while she was at university. She was also the member of the province’s team participating in the national competition for excellent students.

However, until now, one year after she submitted her CV to the local department of internal affairs, she still has not received any reply regarding the job.

Meanwhile, a friend of D’s, who graduated Quy Nhon University of Education at “average level”, got the job as a high school teacher in the same province. The friend revealed that in order to get the job, she had to pay money, called the “underground money”.

Finally, D decided to leave her home village for HCM City, where she plans to continue studying at the HCM City University of Education. “I was just a redundant in my native land,” she complained.

BTH from Binh Phuoc province related that one year ago, she said “no” to the invitations to work in HCM City and decided to return to Binh Phuoc province after she graduated from the HCM City Economics University. However, she still cannot find a job here, in her home village.

The problem in Binh Phuoc, according to H, is that the information about recruitments is not made public. Sometimes H sees some advertisements prices on newspaper or television, but H never had enough time to submit her CV to the employers. In general, the deadlines for CV submission came just one day after the day the advertisement appears in newspapers.

University graduates work as blue collar workers?

NTH in Vinh City in central Vietnam related that she has decided to leave for Binh Duong province in the south where she will be a worker at a garment company, because she has run out of patience. Now she does not believe that she can ever find a good job in Vinh City, therefore, it would be better to leave to look for jobs herself.

Graduating from the journalism faculty of a big university, Huynh My Hien returned to Tay Ninh, wishing to work for a district ratio station. However, Hien was told that there was no vacancy for her.

After some time, Hien was given a job that she described as “very boring” at the department of propaganda and training. Just after two months of working, she decided to give up the boring job, though she could earn 900,000 dong a month.

As such, the path of seeking jobs and devoting themselves to native land sometimes is full of spikes and thorns.

Even in education where imparting knowledge to the new generation also has so much Corruption, what u think the young ppl will grow up to become??

Fighting corruption in education sector an uphill battle
================================================== ====

VietNamNet Bridge – Fighting corruption in education was a significant task, the Vice Inspector of the Ministry of Education and Training, Pham Van Tai said.



According to research based on media coverage of corruption by the United Nations Development Programme in 2008, corruption in education was still a big problem.

Marie Ottosson, a senior official from the Swedish Embassy, said two studies showed that education and training were the largest items on the State budget (15 to 20 per cent), but weak accounting and monitoring systems provided opportunities for corruption.

"Corruption in education is a threat to sustainable development and the well being and future of Viet Nam because it creates distrust in the education system," she said.

Tai said most opportunities for corruption emerged during admission at every education level, extra teaching and learning activities and the "over collection of fees".

Deputy Minister Nguyen Thi Nghia said most teachers still lived in difficult conditions due to limited incomes and did not feel secure without doing extra teaching.

Tai said other reasons included a patchy legal framework, shortage of integrated policies and the absence of monitoring systems.

"Extra teaching and learning malpractices are widely seen, especially in cities, towns and lowland provinces," he said. "Some teachers even move some parts of the school curriculum to their private teaching classes to force students to attend extra classes for private gains."

A survey titled "Present Corruption in Education" in Ha Noi, HCM City and Da Nang during May suggested that many parents themselves were actually willing to compromise with these malpractices.

Nguyen Van Thang, director of T&C Consulting, which ran the survey with the Government Inspectorate, said the acceptance of parents towards distorted behaviour was a non-stop social activity. Thang said many parents had a perception that standard schools and extra learning would help children get a better education. He said corruption generally involved small amounts of money but the social impact was severe as it posed psychological and time burdens for families.

Nguyen Thi Thanh Nga, an education specialist from United Nations Children’s Fund Viet Nam, said the key measure would be to change the perception of parents. He agreed that the ministry’s inspection activities should be formalised and conducted on a regular basis.

Sweden’s Ottosson called for more oversight and awareness from society and the media to combat corruption.

The phone come not cheap yet so many ppl wanted to buy. Their average monthly salary not high, but they still willing to buy, dun know they need to starve for how many months :(

Customers have to draw lots to buy iPhone 4
==================================================

VietNamNet Bridge – Next week VinaPhone will import an additional 450 Apple’s iPhone 4 smart phones. As thousands of people want to buy the phone, the firm may have to hold a draw to select lucky customers.


VinaPhone will hold a draw to ensure impartiality for customers, a company official said, adding that customers will register for the draw in the morning and the draw will be organized on the afternoon of the same day.

“We will make public the points of sale and draw to prevent our employees from illegally selling the phones,” he said.

The firm recently banned its staffs from collaborating with phone shops to sell iPhone 4 to earn extra profit. Violators will be fined or even fired.

Meanwhile, Viettel’s new batch of iPhone 4 arrived in Vietnam today, October 15. Viettel will randomly select customers from October 20-24 via its website and organize draw like VinaPhone at all Viettel shops in Vietnam. However, this firm will sell several iPhone 4 a day.

On online forums, customers complained that they had to wait for a long time to own an iPhone 4. Many people couldn’t wait so they turned to buy iPhone 3Gs, resulted in the increase of prices for this model.

Please take note if u are travelling internally ..........

Tet nearing, air tickets selling like hot cakes
===============================================

VietNamNet Bridge – People are hurrying to book tickets for the flights on Tet holiday, though Tet will come only in four months. Many passengers have said they have to book business class tickets, because economy class tickets have run out.



Airlines have warned that, like previous years, the air tickets for the flights from HCM City to Hanoi on the days before Tet and on Tet days, and the tickets for the flights from Hanoi to HCM City on the days after Tet will be short. The average airfare for the flights from HCM City to Hue, Hai Phong and Hanoi Cities on peak days is about four million dong (return ticket). The flights from HCM City to Quy Nhon, Buon Ma Thuot and Tuy Hoa by Vietnam Airlines which will take off on peak days have been nearly fully booked.


According to the budget airline Jetstar Pacific (JPA), flights on HCM City – Vinh/ Hue/ Hai Phong to take off from January 27 to February 2, 2011 (December 24-30th of Lunar Year) have been fully booked. Meanwhile, only a few seats on flights on Vinh/ Hue/ Hai Phong – HCM City to take off on February 8-9, 2011 (January 6-7 of Lunar Year) have been left. However, the air tickets for the flights are running out, since the number of passengers booking tickets right at this moment is increasing rapidly.


Vietnam Airlines’ tickets are also running out for the flights on some other routes which are expected to take off from January 26, 2011 to the days just before Tet, and the flights on the opposite ways which are expected to take off on February 6-8, 2011. Passengers now have only once choice of booking business class tickets, priced at over three million dong per ticket, because economy class tickets have run out.


Passengers hope that the market joining of Air Mekong will help ease the situation. Truong Thanh Vu, Business and Service Director of Air Mekong said the airline will only have the Tet flight schedule in early November. At present, the air carrier provides 34 flights on eight air routes, providing over 3,000 seats. Vu said the air carrier will increase the number of flights on the routes with high demand, such as HCM City – Hanoi/ Da Nang and Hanoi/ Da Nang – HCM City.


Analysts say 3000 seats are really a small number if compared with the huge volume of passengers who have the demand to take flights on Tet days. However, the appearance of Mekong Air in the market, especially on the air routes, where Vietnam Airlines was once the only carrier, will help much ease the tense.


JPA and Vietnam Airlines both have said they will provide more flights on Tet, while the plan to increase flights will be made public in some more days.


The problem is that airlines do not really want to provide more flights on Tet, even though the demand for traveling increases sharply on those days. Representative from JPA said it always happens that in the days just before Tet, pilots fly from HCM City to Hanoi on the planes full of passengers and then fly back from Hanoi to HCM City on empty planes, because of no passenger.


On the 2010 Tet, a lot of passengers complained that they could not book tickets directly with booking agents and they had to purchase tickets from intermediaries (the intermediaries, anticipating the high demand, booked tickets soon with booking agents and then they sold the booked tickets to real passengers.

I think to make money from WL, one must be very black-hearted. You must hear the story before that they will borrow $1000 to come to singapore. Once they arrive, they need to return $1100. Some girls even need to return $1200.

If one can guarantee they can enter Singapore safely for a fee of $1000. Then I believe many of them will be more than willing to pay.

What if one recruit some VBs and work as a pimp. Take their pictures and post ads on the FL Dome at Sammyboy. Surely can make a healthy profit. Many times I see VBs who are young and pretty and I will come up with this idea. But I am not ready to go to the jail yet so give up :D

I agree food and lodging are not good business, it just has too much competition. The most profitable biz must be the illegal one.

To make money from the WL is risky as mostly are not trustworthy. i.e lend them money to show custom.

my bro in vn hit some wall when he first started. Now he tell those vietnamese (be it WL or not) that if you have no money, don't need approach him.

Competition stiffer on anti-virus software market, customers benefit
================================================== =======

VietNamNet Bridge – 2010 is a truly bustling year for the anti-virus software market in Vietnam. A lot of new foreign made software has appeared in Vietnam, while domestic software suppliers and existing foreign suppliers have been trying to expand their market share.


More and more foreign made products penetrating domestic market

German Avira Company has become the “new comer” on Vietnam’s market when it has appointed Vietnamese Cay Du Do Service Company as the distributor of its products in late September.

In mid 2010, Spanish Panda Security officially set foot in Vietnam after 20 years of operation with offices located in 195 countries worldwide. Panda Security, the official representative in Indochina, launched an anti-virus software for individual users.

Several years ago, when penetrating Vietnam’s market, the US Symantec only focused on providing Norton Antivirus, the security solution and anti-virus software for businesses and government agencies, while it did not pay much attention to individual clients. However, the company has changed its mind in the last two or three years and has targeted individual clients as well. To date, Symantec has had three distributors in Vietnam.

According to distributors, Karpersky anti-virus software remains the best seller among foreign products thanks to their market access strategy and the availability of a Vietnamese version.

McAfee, BitDefender and Trend Micro have also set up their distribution network in Vietnam. However, the companies have not taken strong actions to attract Vietnamese customers.



Domestic products try to dominate home market

A recent survey conducted by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) on businesses from 63 provinces and cities showed that Vietnamese Bkav anti-virus software is the choice of 74 percent of enterprises. Thirteen percent of businesses choose Kaspersky, and nine percent of businesses choose Norton Antivirus.

Though Bkav is still leading the market, the brand owner still makes large investments to conquer the market. Clients, who buy Bkav, have the opportunity to get the gifts which are Sony Vaio computers, Nokia E72 mobile phones. The owner of Bkav also keeps a big budget to advertise its product on mass medias and regularly hold press conferences at big events.

Speaking about the competition of made-in-Vietnam products, both Nguyen Tu Quang, General Director of BKIS, the owner of Bkav, and Trieu Tran Duc, General Director of CMC, said Vietnamese products are fully capable of competing with foreign products.



Competition bring benefit to clients

Quang noted that about 1.5 million new computers are sold every year, and there are 20 million computer users. At least 10 million computers have Internet connection and have the demand for anti-virus software. Therefore, Vietnamese market holds a real potential for product suppliers

Avira is now offering a very competitive price, at 150,000 dong, for every anti-virus software version. On October 1-7, Avira gave 1000 free 3-month copyrighted Avira Premium Security Suite version to the clients who registered to buy products on www.caydudo.com. In an effort to more effectively penetrate Vietnam’s market, Avira plans to launch the Vietnamese version next year.

Meanwhile, Panda’s products have the lowest price in Vietnam, at 110,000 dong for a Panda AV.

Kaspersky has reduced the sale price from 200,000 dong to 150,000 dong. Bkav is still selling at 299,000 dong, but customers can enjoy discounts when they buy three products.

Meanwhile, Symantec does not reduce sale prices and offer sale promotion programme. It has been trying to develop its technology. While other companies are selling the anti-virus versions for 2010, Symantec has launched 2011 Norton version with many features.

thanx for the tips bro in the end nber made the trip to
Da Lat, went to Yung Tau instead n Soc Trang quite
a fun trip for me really enjoyed myself n got drunk
everyday haha~~~


The below is esp for U :

Lurking excitement
================================

Streams and waterfalls give romantic Da Lat a ‘tough’ reputation


Da Lat evokes the leisure of a hillside resort, the romance of lakes, flowers and misty mornings, but it has a dangerous and thrilling undercurrent as well.

The Central Highlands town in Lam Dong Province is a veritable paradise for a series of adventure sports - rock climbing, abseiling, parachuting or biking on rough terrain.

Attesting to the growing popularity of these sports and of Da Lat as an adventure-sports destination are nearly 10 service providers at the end of the sloping Truong Cong Dinh Street. These establishments have professional trainers and instructors, some trained abroad.

For the young and strong at heart, riding elephants, biking up Lang Biang Mountain or climbing down cliffs of the Prenn Falls and overnight stays in the forest are “relaxing” activities.

Among the most adventurous activities on offer is an exploration of the seven-storied Datanla Falls.

On the third floor of the fall is a cliff 20 meters tall that stands almost upright. Passing it is a challenge that is rewarded by gently flowing water on the fourth floor, but the real adventure awaits on the sixth floor with a 25-meter high cliff and a whirlpool. Its decision time... do you accept yet another challenge?

The magnificent seventh floor of the waterfall is sometimes referred to as the “washing machine” because of its crazy, whirling waters.

If you want a quick way down, a roller-coaster like contraption has been rigged up, adding to the excitement.

All these thrills and danger does not mean safety is not given priority. It is. Trainers will cancel the whole tour at the slightest hint of something unusual, weather-wise.

Vo Duc Trung, director of one of the units, said international schools from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Thailand and several foreign-invested companies have in recent years been sending students and employees on these tours as a way to build up their courage, creativity and adaptation skills, not to mention to confront and solve problems.

Ngo Anh Tuan, a manager and trainer with Da Lat Discovery Travel, told the Lam Dong newspaper that their new tour – crossing the La Ba River on a rubber dinghy – led tourists to feel proud of their own courage and survival skills.

The tour begins with around 45 minutes of warm-up exercises after which they can enjoy the Hang Cop (Tiger Cave) Waterfall and a walk through a pine forest, pass several hills and walk down to the La Ba River.

Here, rubber dinghies wait. Trainers distribute lifejackets and instructions on rowing it through rough waters and tell you not to panic even when the boat capsizes.

This adventure takes about three hours, during which a seven-kilometer stretch of the river and eleven rocky waterfalls are navigated. After a well-deserved rest, there is another sixty-minute walk through forests to reach National Highway No. 20 before heading back to downtown Da Lat.

The rowing journey costs US$60 a person.

Tuan recalled that a US tourist named Justin had emailed him after returning home, saying he keeps missing the adventure that was “full of joy and excitement.”

================
HOW TO GET THERE
================

By motorbike: Take National Highway 1A from Ho Chi Minh City. Turn to National Highway No. 20 at Dau Giay T-junction. Da Lat is 306 kilometers from HCMC.

By bus or car: From the Mien Dong Bus Station in HCMC’s Binh Thanh District. It takes 7-8 hours and costs around VND100,000 (US$5.14) a ticket.

Warning for ppl travelling to central vn:


35 people die, downpour continues in central Vietnam
================================================== ======

VietNamNet Bridge – Heavy rain continued in the central province of Ha Tinh at night on October 18 and early morning October 19. More than 100,000 residents are isolated by water.


According to a brief report of the Central Steering Board for Flood and Storm Control, the rainfall in Ha Tinh averaged 30-70mm and reached up to over 100mm in some districts last night (October 18) and early this morning, October 19. Within a week, some places in Ha Tinh suffered from the rainfall of up to 900mm to 1,200mm.

Heavy rain and floods have made thousands of people in the central region homeless as thousands of houses are under water.

Floods caused traffic congestion on National Highways 1A, 15A, and Ho Chi Minh, and many provincial roads in Ha Tinh. Many roads were submerged at many sections; some were even under 2.5m of water. Many tracts of National Highways 15 and Ho Chi Minh in Quang Binh were also submerged under 0.5-2m of water.

The water level in rivers from Nghe An to Quang Binh provinces continues to rise. By October 18, 35 people had lost their lives and two others remain missing in the central provinces.

Nghe An currently has 113 communes with over 30,000 families inundated, including 35 communes deeply submerged and isolated. Ha Tinh has more than 110,000 households and Quang Binh with nearly 29,000 households flooded. Over 140,000 people in the three provinces had to evacuate.

Ha Tinh Chair Vo Kim Cu said that due to their limited resources, the province has asked the Government to provide 30-40 boats to evacuate local people from flooded areas and around 5,000 tons of rice and medicine. In the initial period, the Government will need to provide VND1,000 billion to help local people get back to normal and ensure social welfare.

A live TV broadcast on October 17 called for coordinated efforts to overcome the damage caused by the two recent historic floods.

Tran Duc Lai, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications, launched a campaign to send messages to flood victims. Each text message “UH” is sent to 1405, and VND5,000 will be given to flood victims.



Exhausted in flood

Hoa Hai, a commune in Huong Khe district, Ha Tinh province, was still surrounded by flood in the afternoon of October 18. Many electric poles and ancient trees were flooded to the top. Hundreds of people sat on their roofs to wait for the water to go down. Whenever they heard the sound of canoes, they waved their hands for help.

In a dripping wet blouse and with a seedy face, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hoang recalled: “It rained the whole of October 15. By 2am October 16, water from the upstream flocked to Hoa Hai. Water ran impetuously at night. Everywhere there was screaming and shouting. The water rose up very quickly. My family finally had to climb the roof.”

Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hoai tried to row her small boat in a swift-flowing current to take instant noodle and water from rescue workers. She said her family lost their house and assets in the previous flood and they were hit by flood again.

Watching her assets being swept away by water, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Phuc in Huong Giang commune, Ha Tinh province, said in tears: “Several months ago, our fields were cracked because of drought but now everything has been swept away by flood. We are exhausted!”

On October 18, the flood in Huong Khe district, Ha Tinh province, was still at the highest level since 1978. Local residents survived onthe instant noodles and mineral water supplied by rescue workers.

In the meantime, the storm Megi is coming. “If the storm comes, we will surely die,” Van said.

Hoang Cong Ly, Chairman of Huong Khe district, said that local residents are getting exhausted because of continuous flooding . All relief aid in the first flood was swept away. People are in serious shortage of food, water and medicines.



Agriculture Minister calls on localities to actively prepare for Storm Megi


The Central Steering Committee for Flood Prevention and Control held an urgent meeting on October 18 to assist in overcoming the consequences of Storm Megi and asked localities to actively prepare to deal with the storm.

At the meeting, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat, also head of the Central Steering Committee for the Flood and Storm Control, asked localities to prepare rescue forces for Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces. He also asked the Farming Department to assess damages that will be caused by the storm and prepare breeds and fertilizers to help farmers restore production activities.

Minister Phat urged these forces to continue to evacuate people in Ha Tinh and Nghe An to safe areas and provide them with water and food, and especially to provide medicines to help Ha Tinh residents deal with the polluted water resources.

This morning, October 19, Minister Phat said that storm Megi may pass Vietnam’s Hoang Sa archipelago (Paracel islands) and called ships which are sheltering in this area to return home.

Vietnam’s ambitious plan to become an IT power
================================================== =====

VietNamNet Bridge – The Prime Minister has approved the information technology (IT) development plan, under which IT will see the annual growth rate 2-3 times higher than the GDP growth rate, with the industry making up 10 percent of GDP of Vietnam.


1 million workers in IT by 2020

It is expected that by 2020, Vietnam will have one million people working in the IT industry. 80 percent of students graduating in subjects related to IT will have the professional knowledge and foreign language skills good enough to join the international labour market.

From now to 2015, about 30 percent of students are estimated have such skills.

Policies will introduced to make the target attainable. Forecasts about the demand in the IT sector will be released, based on which the plan to train the workforce for the sector will be drafted Some key training establishments will be given priority in receiving funding for necessary facilities, and granted more autonomy in their operation. Especially, measures will be taken to encourage the teaching to be conducted in English.



Vietnamese businesses with $15 billion in turnover to emerge

The Government will encourage big IT enterprises to expand the scopes of their businesses. It is expected that by 2015, Vietnam will have big IT companies ready to enter the international market and have an annual turnover of $10 billion. By 2020 it is expected that Vietnam will have giant enterprises with the turnover of $15 billion. The “cocks of the walk” are FPT (Corporation for Financing and Promoting Technologies), Viettel, VNPT (Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group), VTC and CMC.

Regarding the software outsourcing, the government aims for Vietnam to be listed in the world’s top 15 nations in terms of software outsourcing by 2015, and in the top 10 nations by 2020.

As for the hardware industry, Vietnam will create companies with the capability to design and produce hardware and accessories to reduce imports by 2015.



IT to be applied in public services

From now to 2015, the IT will be used in addressing important socio-economic issues, such as the urban traffic management, food safety and weather forecasts.

Institutions will provide public services online at second and third levels. About 80 percent of companies and social organizations will apply IT in their business management and production. IT will be popularized in education, healthcare, national defense and public security.

A target that Vietnam has set up for 2020is to enter into the list of top third of countries in the United Nation’s ranking in terms of the readiness for e-Government.



Broad band to reach out to villages

To facilitate the development ofIT industry Vietnam will strengthen the telecommunications infrastructure. By doing so, the country aims to be listed among the 65 most developed nations in the field in the ranking of the International Telecommunications Union by 2015.

It is excepted that by that time, the basics of the plan to provide broad band connection in villages and wards across the country will be completed, while broad band mobile wave coverage will reach out to 85 percent of people.

It is estimated that by 2011, most families in Vietnam will have telephones. By 2015, 20-30 percent of families will have computers and Internet access, 90 percent of families will have television. The percentage of families having computer and Internet access will be raised to 50-60 percent by 2020.

Poor road works lead to death sinkholes
================================================== ===

Many sections of roads in Ho Chi Minh City have suddenly collapsed in recent months due to poor construction and site management, causing numerous traffic mishaps.

According to the HCMC Transport Department, 22 sinkholes emerged in the city from July to mid October, it means that on average a section of road collapsed into the ground after every 4-5 days.

These sinkholes were usually seen on roads where sewers had just been installed as part of the massive sewerage, environment and urban improvement projects, including Hai Ba Trung, Le Van Sy, Pham Van Hai, Nguyen Kiem, Au Co, No Trang Long, Nguyen Van Dau and Xo Viet Nghe Tinh streets.

After inspection, the department’s Traffic Infrastructure Management Office attributed sinkholes to improper technical works that caused junctions between sewers open, and thus the water leaked out, forming sinkholes underneath the roads.

So far, the city has installed nearly 200 kilometers of sewers under hundreds of roads. Together with the old sewer system, these sewers are a threat to people as it’s hard to find out if they are broken underground.

The department said to install sewers, workers have to dig roads 4-6 meters wide and 3-4 meters deep. If connecting sewers and refilling roads are not properly executed, the roads will collapse under the weight of traffic.

Meanwhile, engineers warned said though the connecting and refilling processes are properly done, roads will still face the collapse and even more, because 1,000 kilometers of sewers in the city which were built tens of years, with some built nearly 100 years, ago have deteriorated severely.

Numerous fatalities have taken place due to public construction works, such as children falling into open sewage holes, or riders tumbling into deep excavations without fences or sinkholes.

In most cases, the settlement is merely token compensation by the contractor, and no agency has been imputed penal responsibilities.

Most translation apps in the App Store needs internet connection. This will cost you more money in the form of roaming charges. So far, I've only used this one which is sort of an offline dictionary:

http://itunes.apple.com/sg/app/vietnamese-english-dictionary/id304845525?mt=8

However, at USD5.99, it's not free though. But, if your iPhone is jailbroken, go to

http://apptrackr.org/

and download a "friendly" version. You know what I mean...

Thanks! Anyway sifu can tell me how to differentiate between Hanoi and hcm accent? The pattern they talk is different ah? Flying off in 1 hour~~~~

So far, I can only tell...

For words starting with "g", Hanoi will pronounce as "z" sound whereas HCM will pronounce as "y" sound. For example, the word "gi", Hanoi will pronounce as "zee" whereas HCM pronounce as "yee".

For words starting with "r", Hanoi will pronounce as "z" sound whereas HCM will pronounce as "r" sound. For example, the phrase "ra di", Hanoi will pronounce as "za di" whereas HCM will pronounce as "ra di".

For words starting with "v", Hanoi will pronounce as "v" sound (like how we pronounce words in English such as voice, verb etc) where HCM pronounce as "y" sound. For example, the word "vu", Hanoi pronounce as "voo" where HCM pronounce as "yoo".

In my limited exposure to TV, this is what I'm able to grasp so far. Hope it helps...

Pilgrimage to Cau Mountain
=====================================

VietNamNet Bridge – The traditional practice of taking pilgrimages in Vietnam has become a popular tourism product. The stillness of sacred places, while the smoke from burning incense curls upwards, brings the focus back to the rudiments of life, easing daily stresses and woes and instilling peace and reverence for the soul.

Cau Mountain in Dinh Thanh Commune, Dau Tieng District, Binh Duong Province, is one of the popular destinations for pilgrims near HCMC.

When you first arrive at the base of the mountain, you will see Thai Son Pagoda that was built in 1998 on five hectares. The pagoda has a tower and a 12-meter-high statue of Bodhisattva. It is extremely busy during festival times.

After seeing the pagoda, visitors should head to the rear where the stairs to the mountain top begin. The 1,000 stone steps zigzag upwards, shaded by trees and lined by flowers and boulders. Halfway up the mountain is a shop selling snacks and water and some hammocks where tourists can take a rest and recharge for the next 500 steps.

On the top is a 300 year old tree and a small temple dedicated to the worship of “Cau Bay” who locals believe can protect them and bring them luck.

Looking down is the 27,000 hectare Dau Tieng Lake. The lake, located in Phuoc Minh Commune in Tay Ninh Province’s, Duong Minh Chau District, is the largest irrigation reservoir in Vietnam with a capacity of 1.6 billion cubic meters, enough for 63,000 hectares of farmland in Tay Ninh and HCMC plus 40, 000 hectares in the provinces of Binh Duong and Long An.

Near the foot of the mountain is a thundering waterfall that crashes into Than Tho Lake below.

To reach the lake, tourists can follow National Highway No.13 to Thu Dau Mot Town in Binh Duong Province. At the second highway toll station on Binh Duong Boulevard, turn right on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street (744 Street) and follow it for 30 kilometers then go right at the T-junction of Thanh Tuyen Commune in Ben Cat District. This will take you through Dau Tieng Town of Dau Tieng District and keep going straight for another seven kilometers.

Malaysia police rescue 8 Vietnamese slave workers
================================================== =

VietNamNet Bridge - Malaysian police rescued eight Vietnamese women who were forced into labor slavery in Kuala Lumpur late last month, according to the Coalition to Abolish Modern-day Slavery in Asia (CAMSA).

The organization said the women were hired to work for a massage parlor owned by a Vietnamese woman and her Malaysian husband in the Malaysian capital.

The couple seized all the papers of the workers, who were confined in their workplace and had to work from 9 p.m to 5 a.m everyday without payment in three months.

One of the workers called the USA-based CAMSA for help on September 24, and Malaysian police then raided the parlor to rescue the slave workers four days later.

Police said they will take legal actions against the couple for human trafficking.

They are still investigating whether the couple has other accomplices in Malaysia or Vietnam.

“The biggest concern is that the legal process may take two to three months while the victims cannot wait to return home," said Nguyen Dinh Thang of CAMSA.

CAMSA is asking Malaysian police to allow humanitarian groups to visit the victims while they are waiting for the trial.

They also called for Vietnamese people who applied to work overseas to be alert to the danger of being forced into labor slavery.

So it shd be good to sell handphone and its accessories in vn?

Mobile phones will replace fixed lines?
============================================

VietNamNet Bridge – Mobile phone service providers are gradually swallowing up the market share held by fixed line service providers. The latter have voiced their concern about the sharp fall in their revenue.

VNPT Hanoi, for example, is losing 60,000 fixed line subscribers every year. The information released by Tran Manh Hung, Director of VNPT Hanoi at a working session with Minister of Information and Telecommunications Le Doan Hop recently.

Analysts also say that the strong growth of mobile phone networks has caused much trouble to the fixed line service providers. In 2008, the revenue of VNPT Hanoi from fixed line services was 1506 billion dong, a decrease of 10.3 percent compared to the year before. The decrease rate rose to 10.6 percent in 2009, when the revenue was 1346 billion dong.

VNPT anticipates that the revenue from fixed line services in 2010 would be 1170 billion dong only, a fall of 13 percent compared to 2009.

Other cities and provinces have also reported the setback of fixed line services, saying that fixed line service providers have been losing subscribers in favour of mobile phone service providers.

Meanwhile, mobile service networks have seen the number of subscribers increasing by tens of million every year. 20 million new subscribers appeared in 2010, a very high figure, even though 2010 witnessesed the lowest growth rate in number of mobile phone subscribers in the last five years.

Hung from VNPT Hanoi said that the number of fixed line service users has been decreasing gradually because the mobile phone service fee has been decreasing in recent years, encouraging more people to use mobile phones.

Meanwhile, it is expected that the mobile phone service fee will further decrease by 10-15 percent in the coming years, because service providers now have to compete fiercely with each other to attract clients.

In August, MobiFone, Viettel and VinaPhone, the three biggest service providers in Vietnam, all slashed their fees. MobiFone, for example, has lowered the network connection fee from 99,000 dong to 60,000 dong (- 49.5 percent). The inner-network call fee has been lowered to 880 dong per minute, while the intra-network call fee to 980 dong per minute, the decreases of 10.24 and 9.28 percent, respectively.

Meanwhile, service providers have also launched different products targeting different groups of clients. The sharpest fee reductions have been applied to students. The users of Q-Teen package can now enjoy the fee reduction of 15 percent, while users of Q-Student package 14.25 percent.

According to analysts, mobile phone service fee is now higher by only 10 percent than fixed line service fee, while mobile phones have many advantages in comparison with fixed line. Especially the flexibility they offer, of being able to connect to other subscribers at any time and everywhere. They can enjoy the rate reductions on holidays and weekends, use various kinds of value added services and access Internet at any time.

The continuous decrease in the mobile phone services fees, the fixed line may soon become the more expensive option.

Using mobile phones has become a dominant trend, making mobile phones a serious rival to fixed line. In the eyes of customers, however, they are very “likeable” because of the benefits they bring.

What I figure out:
she say that if you don't want to see her also can. She will return you the gift and $$$ you give. She don't think she try to trick you into anything.

she want you to understand her, understand that her family is very poor that is why she come here to work. She and you don't meet alot but she love you truely. someone give her money, she will have to go hotel to repay back the gesture. she don't wish to make you sad.

Full meaning:
Hope you won't want to take back the things you give, especially the $200.
But your $200 very big huh? you give more, I may consider not going to hotel with others as i got 1 big robert in you. ;):cool:

No need to say that you are stupid. Like what KangTuo said, it all depends on the chemistry between you and the girl. My 'girl' who was caught last Wednesday told me that she will be going back today Monday but it turned out that she decided to go back earlier on 30.10.2010 night.

Answer to Q1: 'Co Tien' is 'have money' 'Co Du Tien' is 'have F*** money' :D

Just kidding.

'Co Du Tien' is 'have enough money'

It means 'I have telephone back give mother ask when go back. I say check.' This is the exact translation. You decipher the rest ok? :p

To totally kill off the KC effect is to delete her number so that you don't know her contact, change your number so that she cannot contact you, 6mths don't go to the place you meet her.

if you can't get rid of the KC stuff... I bet the next thing you do is to buy airticket to go vn to look for her :rolleyes:

Even if I know that jackbl goes to JC, I never see him before mah. So that's why I ask if the person I saw is jackbl or not.
