Take note of this if u can setting up a labour intensive biz in VN...............

HCM City suffers from post-Tet labour shortage
================================================== =======

VietNamNet Bridge – On the first day returning to work after Tet, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year this year, each worker at the Onamba electronic harness manufacturer in Binh Duong Province received VND300,000 ($15) as "lucky money" from the company's leader.


The lucky money, on top of the festival bonus, is one of the incentives the company has offered to encourage its employees to return to work after Tet. Despite this, many of the workers have not returned after the year's biggest holiday.

Onamba Vietnam, headquartered in Osaka, is among many labour-intensive companies facing the endemic problem of post-Tet labour shortage.

For the past several years, enterprises based in export processing zones (EPZs) and industrial parks (IPs) in particular have faced a mass exodus of workers who've finished their annual contract and tend not to come back after the Tet holiday.

Onamba has lost 20 per cent of its 700-strong labour force after the week-long holiday, said Nguyen Hoang Anh, who is in charge of the company's labour recruitment.

Most of them quit to look for other jobs, he said.

"This year we have the largest number of workers quitting after Tet," said Anh, "despite the fact that the company has given them better living and working conditions."

The company has provided a free bus service for workers to travel between work and home as well as housing allowance, said Anh.

HCM City-based Thong Nhat Rubber Company is also facing a labour shortage with hundreds of workers not having returned after Tet.

"The number of workers not returning after Tet has increased every year," said head of the company's Administrative Organisation Board, Do Hoang Tri.

The company recruits nearly 2,000 people each year to replace the ones who've left, he said.

Statistics cited by a recent report in the Nguoi Lao Dong (The Labourer) newspaper said that companies based in HCM City's EPZs and IPs need to recruit around 10,000 workers after the holiday, mostly in electronics, mechanics, garment and food processing sectors.

The demand for manual labour accounts for 60 per cent of the post-festival recruitment and the rest are workers with high professional skills, the report said.

Deal sweetners

To make up for the shortage of workers after Tet, many companies had made plans to begin recruiting people immediately after the festival and some began doing so even before the holiday.

Onamba Vietnam said that it would start recruiting 200 new workers next week, offering housing allowances and free transportation to work. Workers on one-month probation will be paid 90 per cent of the full salary and contracted workers will get an extra monthly allowance.

Two HCM City-based companies, Nidec Copal at the Tan Thuan EPZ and Nissei Electric Vietnam at the Linh Trung EPZ, have been recruiting thousands of workers since they resumed operations after the Tet holiday early last week. Both firms are offering free accommodation and full travelling allowance in order to lure applicants.

Nissei Electric has promised to pay VND1.85 million ($90) as basic monthly salary plus allowances ranging from VND400,000 ($20) to VND1.5 million ($75) per month, said Dang Thi Hai Y, who handles the company's recruitment programme. Recruited workers will enjoy free accommodation and transportation.

The company will also pay VND300,000 ($15) to anyone introducing a worker who is recruited, Y said. However the attractive offers and availability of jobs have failed to attract sufficient numbers of applicants, company representatives said.

Employment agencies recruiting people for most of the companies based in EPZs and IPs in HCM City say they used to see the largest number of job applicants of the year after Tet. But this year, they are experiencing a drought.

"The number of people looking for jobs after Tet is the smallest this year," said Nguyen Thanh Tung, head of an employment agency in HCM City. While some people are still in a holiday mood and enjoying time with their families, the main reason for the lack of applicants is that most of them are looking for jobs in their home towns, he said.

High inflation in recent years has resulted in an increase in the cost of living in big cities, which makes it all the more difficult for workers whose wages have not improved significantly. So they prefer to work in their home provinces or nearby locations, where they might earn less but do not have to deal with high living costs.

This has prompted many companies to contact provincial authorities and agencies directly in the hope of recruiting workers, especially in the central region that is the largest provider of workers to HCM City, said Truong Thi Tuyet Van, who heads the human resources department at the Tan Thuan EPZ-based Japanese-owned Furukawa Automotive Parts Vietnam company.

Meanwhile, the last few years have seen a large number of industrial parks established in agricultural provinces, creating jobs for locals. This is another reason why the migrant workers in big cities are returning to their home provinces to work.

Vietnam police blame human error in boat sinking

HANOI, Vietnam – Vietnamese police said Sunday that human error was to blame for the sinking of a tour boat in Ha Long Bay that killed 12 sleeping passengers. The vessel's captain and a crew member have been arrested.

A valve that allows water to come into the boat to cool the engine was left open while the vessel was anchored for the night, Quang Ninh provincial police spokesman Le Thanh Binh said. The engine was turned off, preventing a pump from running to push the water out, he said.

Eleven foreign tourists from nine countries were among those who drowned when the boat went down in the scenic bay last week.

"The initial police investigation showed that the man in charge of the boat engine forgot to close the valve that allowed water in to cool the engine before he, the captain and other crew went to bed," Binh told The Associated Press by telephone. "When they found out about that, it was too late."

However, Pham Xuan Viet, a veteran captain who runs a similar boat in Ha Long Bay, said the cause may be more complicated because leaving the cooling valve open should not by itself fill a boat with water and sink it.

The tour boat was inundated with gushing water when it went down about 5 a.m. Thursday, trapping passengers in their overnight cabins. All of the Vietnamese crew survived, along with nine foreign tourists. But 11 vacationers from the U.S., Britain, Australia, Japan, Russia, France, Sweden and Switzerland drowned along with their Vietnamese tour guide.

It was Vietnam's deadliest tour boat accident since the country opened up to foreign visitors 25 years ago.

Boat captain Nguyen Van Minh, 22, and Do Van Thang, 27, who was in charge of the engine, were arrested Saturday, Binh said. The two, along with three other crew members, had been detained earlier for questioning.

State-controlled Thanh Nien newspaper quoted an anonymous source as saying Truong Hai Co., which owned the "Dream Voyage," was previously named Bien Mo Co. The company owned a boat that sank in Ha Long Bay in September 2009, killing three foreigners and two Vietnamese during heavy rains and high winds. It changed its name four months ago, the paper said.

Police said the boat from Thursday's incident has been towed to a port, where it will be raised on a beam for a full police examination. However, an initial inspection found no holes or breakage in the hull.

"This is an accident causing very serious consequences," Binh said. "Those responsible will be dealt with seriously in accordance with the law."

The bodies of 10 of the foreign victims have been released to their families and embassies, hospital officials said. The body of one of the two American female victims was expected to be handed over later Sunday, and the body of the Vietnamese tour guide has also been released to his family.

About 2.5 million people, half of them foreigners, cruise Ha Long Bay each year to experience the dramatic 1,600 jagged limestone formations that jut out of the sea, forming tiny islands in the Gulf of Tonkin near the Chinese border.

Day cruises are offered, but many tourists opt to sleep on traditional wooden boats equipped with cabins, ranging from budget to luxury accommodation

The fact of the matter is of course a lot more complicated than a stupid valve... u think about it... if boat no damage,

1. how fast can a small valve let water come into the boat and sink it so fast and no time for the tourist to react? u think about it... what time was the valve left open??? if it was 1am, it takes 4 hours till 5am (a very long time) for the ship to slowly sink... so slowly that there will be plenty of reaction time! if the valve was left opened at 0450H and sink the ship in 10 mins, then the rate of rush of water will be so great that the person making the mistake should surely know about it!

2. how come all the Crew survived???

Maybe... just maybe... the crew gang rob and gang rape the tourist and then kill them and then rape again! And then suddenly have to sink the ship to erase all the evidence.

Net net for the owner of the ship (and maybe the crew too) ... a big PLUS, got money, got shiok and maybe even insurance claims!!!

Hi guys,

My gal wanna borrow money from her "sister" (so called cousin who actually works here) to show Sing customs when she arrives. I told her not to borrow as the "sis" is charging 25% interest, which is ridiculous ! of course, I don't want to appear rich, so I told her I will find a solution soon.

her reply:

em cung khong muon lam anh kho su dau. thoi anh dung lo gi het. de ba me em lo duoc roi.
I also don't want much.....................

Anh dung lo gi het. minh hay ket luc so no cua ba me em tai day nha anh(sounds like home). dung nhac den nua em khong muon lam anh kho su em hieu (understand)

yes. the whole meaning of the 2 sms is a repetition.
i not up to standard to translate word for word. but the whole meaning is that she don't want you to be in a difficulr situation and worry about her. its the task of her parents to worry.

or this may be a sms to make you 'tong qin' her so that you will come out the money.

in the first place, you should not offer to think of ways to help her. be it 25% or 100% charges. vn gals are street smart. they have ways to get money to come over.

to get out of this situation, you should reply simply 'OK' and discontinue from the topic.

Ha Long Bay seeks New 7 Wonders of World status
================================================== ======

VietNamNet Bridge - The campaign to collect votes for Ha Long Bay to be recognized as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World in November this year is entering the final stages, said an official from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

At a meeting to discuss the country’s efforts to reach this goal Wednesday, Head of the ministry’s International Cooperation Department Nguyen Van Tinh said that Ha Long Bay is among the 28 finalists.

The official declaration of the New 7 Wonders of the World will be made on November 11, 2011, he added.

The Head of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), Nguyen Van Tuan, emphasized the need to mobilize people to vote for Ha Long Bay and win the support of international friends.

The VNAT will also launch its own campaign to vote for the bay, he revealed.

Meanwhile, the department has come up with a plan to promote the image of Ha Long Bay to international tourists and friends. The plan includes a photographic contest and a painting competition on Ha Long Bay for children as well as an art performance.

The department will also organize activities to collect votes at major schools, tourist sites and through the Internet.

To vote for Ha Long Bay, twice recognized by the UNESCO for its landscape and geological values, in northern Quang Ninh province, please visit the website www.new7wonders.com/nature/en/vote

“Virtual marriages” – a new trend for teens
================================================== ====

VietNamNet Bridge – To prove their everlasting love, many teen couples have acquired “virtual marriage certificates”.


A very hot topic on Pro9x online forum for people who were born in the 1990s is “Center for Marriage Registration”. This topic has lured a lot of members, with the following advertisement:

“There are many couples in our forum who want to get married. To meet your demands, we created this topic. From now on, you can visit this topic to make your “Marriage Registration”. Please fill the following “Application for Marriage Registration”. Admin will consider and grant you the marriage certificate. In addition, your names will be updated to the list of couples of our forum”.

Another topic for teenage also advertise: “Couples who are looking for a complete marriage can visit us to register for marriage by filling out the following form”.

This is a “fashion” from China. The virtual marriage certificate is to remind them of love and to show their “ownership” over their girlfriend/boyfriend.

Minh, a high-school girl, explained: “This is completely normal. We get virtual marriage certificate for fun and to confirm our attachment in love”.

Hoang Yen, a teen girl from Hanoi, said: “I feel like we are a married couple, and we are more serious and more responsible to each other after getting the virtual marriage certificate.”

Some adults said that marriage is extremely important and the youth should not consider it as a joke.

Many teen couples not only register for marriage but also take their personal pictures to post on their blogs or forums to prove their love. Some couples don’t publicize their sensitive pictures but in some cases, after they break-up, some boys used the pictures to blackmail their ex-girlfriends and became criminals.

Quynh Nga, a student from Hanoi, was in trouble when her ex-boyfriend sent their personal pictures and video clips to her current boyfriend.

Teens can prove their loves in many ways but they should be careful to not become the victims of such “evidence of love”.

Ladies and gambling tragedies
============================================

VietNamNet Bridge – Thousands of Vietnamese women have become familiar clients of casinos along the Vietnam-Cambodia border.


There are 14 casinos in Cambodia, which are located very near from the Vietnam-Cambodia border. Up to half of them (Winn, Le Macao, Chateau, Las Vegas Sun or Titan King) are built in Bavet in Svay Rieng province to mainly serve Vietnamese gamblers. Vietnamese gamblers, including thousands of women, often pass the Moc Bai border gate in the southern province of Tay Ninh to Bavet.

VietNamNet’s reporters visited casino Winn at 10 am on a Saturday. This casino is known recently for ruthless assaults against indebted gamblers.

According to the casino’s rules, visitors are not allowed to bring cell phones, cameras, sound recorders, etc. into the casino. These items must be locked in the casino’s safety boxes. Casino staffs in black trousers and white shirts always smile with customers.

The casino was chock-a-block with gamblers, especially at baccarat, roulette and black jack tables.

Casino Winn, a popular destination in the tours of a transnational tourism company, is decorated luxuriously. The rooms are lit with hundreds of lamps, which make gamblers forget the time.

Around one hour after we entered the casino, the number of players at black jack tables increased sharply. Around 70 percent of them were women.


A middle-aged woman approached us, introducing herself as Hien, a Vietnamese, a creditor at the casino. Hien said she was able to lend us as much as we need. After we refused to borrow money from her, M, a guide said that if a gambler borrows $100, he will have to pay $10 for each winning game. In the case that the gambler loses all his money, the creditor will send his/her employees to escort the debtor to his/her home to take money or call the debtor’s family to come to the casino to pay the debt to ransom the debtor.

There are a lot of tragedies related to Vietnamese women at this casino. Hoang, a former staff member at casino Winn, who currently works for a car repair shop in Bavet, said, “Many Vietnamese women often give guards VND50,000-70,000 to remind them to call their husbands at a certain time to trick their husbands into thinking that they are at home”.

Hoang said some women lost tens of thousands of USD a day at gambling.

Recently HCM City People’s Court sentenced four women who swindled assets to gamble in Cambodia. One was sentenced to 13 years in jail and three others to 3-5 years in jail.

These women leased at least six cars at the price of $1300/month and then mortgaged the cars for $15,000 in Tay Ninh to gamble in Cambodian casinos.

In the latest case, the wife of a journalist in the southern province of Long An has just confessed to burning her husband to death after he didn’t agree to sell their house to pay her debts at casinos in Cambodia.

This case is now the center of public attention and is fresh evidence of the tragedies caused by women who are gambling addicts.

In recent years “gambling ladies” have become familiar words in the local media. In HCM City alone, police investigated hundreds of gambling cases each year and over half of the gamblers are women.

According to police, women who gamble at home belong to various social classes but there are a few really rich women. However, most of women who gamble in Cambodia are wealthy women or state employees.

In 2008, the cashier of the Post Office of Bac Lieu province was sentenced to death for appropriating over VND15.3 billion ($765,000) to gamble.

In October 2009, Vu Thi Ba, 32, an employee of a state agency in Ha Dong district, Hanoi, was prosecuted for appropriating a car for money to gamble.

In HCM City, a woman named Trang is very “famous” among casino ladies. The young girl gambled in Hanoi, Hai Phong, HCM City, Tay Ninh and Cambodia. She lost up to $40,000 a night at a casino in Cambodia.

She used fake documents to withdraw over VND400 million ($20,000) of a joint stock company in Hanoi.

In May 2010, police arrested Nguyen Thi Hanh, 32, in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai for swindling. Earlier Hanh was a famous coffee trader in Gia Lai. From July to November 2009, this women received cash from partners to purchase coffee and borrowed money from four companies and eleven individuals totaling over VND17 billion (around $900,000). However, she only paid over VND5 billion for coffee and gambled away the remaining cash.


Other tragedies

Dozens of gamblers in Binh Duong and Tay Ninh province fell into the trap of usurers at casinos in Cambodia.

According to victims who were cleaned out in gambling and ransomed by their families, intermediates introduced them to a young man named Khoa at Winn casino in Bavet, Cambodia. When they arrived at the Moc Bai border gate in Tay Ninh, Khoa’s subordinates took them to the casino and they were treated like special guests.

Nguyen Huu Ba, 20, from Ben Cat district, Binh Duong province, recalled: “After we met with Khoa at Winn casino, he hired a hotel room for us. After taking a bath, Khoa took us to a restaurant. He told us that we would not get rich if we quit after 1-2 losing games”.

When Ba and his friends were nearly drunken Khoa paid the meal and gave $4000 to Ba and his three friends to gamble at Winn casino.

After several hours at the casino, the group lost all $4000. They borrowed $2000 from Khoa to continue the game and also lost the money. They asked Khoa to lend them some more but Khoa told them to temporarily stop because they had bad luck. He took the group to a restaurant for lunch and after that forced them to an inn to sign a debit note. Khoa said that if their families didn’t pay the debts, he would cut out some of their internal organs.

Of dozens Vietnamese gamblers confided at Winn casino for losing at gambling, many are very poor and wanted to change their lives with the money won.

Nguyen Thi Dung, 41, from Ben Cat District, Binh Duong province said that her family has three times paid $10,000 of ransom to rescue her son from casinos .

Nguyen Minh, also from Ben Cat district, had to pay the ransom for his son twice. “The first time he was confided, we had to mortgage our motorbikes, fridge, television set and borrow from usurers to get $5000 to pay the ransom”.

“They called me and said that they made cuts on his face and that if I didn’t save him, they would cut out his kidney,” Minh said.

Minh and his wife had to see an usurer and kneel down to borrow $3000 to pay the ransom.

VN surrogate moms paid $5,500 for each baby
================================================== ====

VietNamNet Bridge - Vietnamese authorities are speeding up procedures to repatriate the 14 Vietnamese mothers involved in an illegal surrogate baby ring in Bangkok.

Authorities say the surrogate mothers are not aware their jobs are illegal. They were paid $5,500 for each baby delivered.

The Bac Lieu province’s authorities yesterday announced they are struggling to help 8 out of the 14 Vietnamese to reunite with their families.

The local authorities are verifying their records to work together with the Vietnamese embassy in Thailand to send them back home as soon as possible.

Earlier, Pham Minh Tuan, first secretary at Vietnam embassy in Thailand said that 8 out of the 14 victims, all aged under 30, come from Bac Lieu including Le Thi Ngoc H., Le Thi C., Huynh Thi Thu T., all hailing from Long Dien Commune, Dong Hai District, Thach Thi My P. from Vinh Trach Dong commune, Mai Thi H., Hua Thi H., Son Thi N., and Phan Thi Ngoc H., all from Gia Rai district.

Among them, So Thi N. has a one-month old baby, while Mai Thi H., Hua Thi H., Huynh Thi Thu T., Le Thi C., and Phan Thi Ngoc H. are all pregnant.

The six others come from An Giang, Hau Giang and Ca Mau provinces, all in the Mekong River Delta in the south.

They are presently provided with food and accommodation at Kredtrakarn Protection and Occupational Development Center in Nonthaburi province, Thailand.

According to Tuan, these women are not aware their job is illegal under Thai law.

They said that they were paid US$5,500 for each successful child delivery on the condition that each baby weighs more than 2.8 kg.

“Our policy is to send them home soon but Thailand want to detain them for further investigation,” Tuan said.


Coming home this week

In other news, as citied by Bangkokpost, 14 Vietnamese surrogate mothers will be repatriated this week and their unborn babies will eventually be taken care of by the Vietnamese government.

"All the women will return to Vietnam this week... The babies to be born to the Vietnamese surrogate mothers will be under the care of the Vietnamese government," Public Health Minister Jurin $$$$$navisit said.

He said the authorities were preparing to take legal action against a Taiwanese company on charges of human trafficking and illegal detention.

Jurin joined Thai officials from many agencies at a meeting yesterday to discuss how to proceed after a raid last week on the alleged illegal surrogacy firm Baby 101, run by a Taiwanese man in Bangkok.

The meeting decided legal action would be taken against the medical premises and doctors involved in the artificial insemination of the women.

The minister said the pregnant Vietnamese women who had originally intended to seek abortions had changed their minds and decided to continue with their pregnancies.

According to Thai police, the Taiwanese operator had been arrested in Taiwan. He entered Thailand in 2008 and resumed business here in 2009.


Viet moms freed in Thailand to be DNA tested

After the meeting between Vietnam and Thai officials yesterday, all members agreed that the 14 Vietnamese surrogate mothers recently set free from a surrogate baby ring in Bangkok are all victims.

They have pledged to work with relevant authorities to bring the Vietnamese women home.

Bui Dinh Cham, counselor at the Vietnam Embassy in Thailand, told Tuoi Tre that the two countries’ officials are discussing the victims’ situation.

Cham added that Thai Minister of Health Jurin $$$$$nawisit has promised to complete necessary procedures within 10-15 days to send them home.

The Vietnam embassy promised to frequently visit the victims during the time they are in Thailand and to provide them with Vietnamese food, milk and fish sauce because they are not accustomed to Thai cuisine.

According to Cham, Thailand has yet to make any contact with Vietnam about DNA test, which would help confirm that the babies are not related by blood to the Vietnamese mothers - as part of procedures to identify their surrogacy status.

Earlier, immigration police raided a Taiwanese company - Baby 101 Co - on Ramkhamhaeng Road on February 23 and charged its executive with human trafficking after it was found to offer an illegal surrogacy service.

Thai police arrested four Taiwanese staff and one Chinese, and rescued 14 Vietnamese women, seven of them allegedly pregnant with children destined for other people.

He gave her a lot of presents already, so she go.
I think it's not "gave her a lot of presents already", the original was "Anh ay nan ni tr qua troi"

nan ni = ask, beg, persuade

I agreed with the rests. Btw, fyi, "qua troi" = a lot, many many. Literally, word by word translation, "qua troi" means "more than the sky"

Free sex a new trend in Vietnam?
============================================

VietNamNet Bridge – According to sociologists and psychologists, many Vietnamese are sticking to “free sex” trend – one can have sexual relations with several partners at the same time.

Experts said that this is the indispensable impact of the economic development and the change of values in social life. It is time to acknowledge this issue seriously because it is spreading among the youth and even some middle-aged people.

Evidences for the development of “free sex” trend in Vietnam are very clear at DNA and genetic analysis center in Hanoi. The center director, Nguyen Thi Nga, told VietNamNet many awkward stories resulted from “free sex”.

Nga said many women took their children to the center to test their DNA to find their fathers. Many middle-aged men also brought several kids to the center to define whom of them are their own children.

“A man could not find his biological child after four tests with four kids though he has supported all four kids and their mothers since the women were pregnant,” Nga said.

“It proves that these women had sexual relations with at least one other man besides the middle-aged man,” Nga analyzed.

She revealed that up to 40 percent of clients of her center detected that the children they were supporting were not their biological children.

Nga also said that recently, many pregnant women visited her center to test the DNA of the foetus. Most of these women are adulterers and they didn’t know about the father of the child. If the child’s father is their husband, they will keep it otherwise they will have abortion. They are willing to pay VND12 million ($600) to have testing results after four hours. Normally, clients know testing results after 9 days, at the cost of VND4 million ($200).

She said that some rural people also visited the center. They are husbands who suspect that their wives having extramarital relations with someone. The number of people going to Nga’s center is on the rise.

In recent years, the local media has reported many phenomena that shows the development of “free sex” trend in Vietnam. Phrases like “group love making” and “taking group sexy photos” appear on many online forums of teenage and some young people see them as fashionable.

Articles about office adultery and the boom of private hotel business to serve adulterers at noon have attracted the public.

Dr. Khuat Thu Hong, Vice Director fo the Institute for Social Development said that these stories are the sign of free sex trend. Many married people still have sexual relations with others and many single people have sexual relations with several partners at the same time.

“Everybody has the right of sex freedom and they have the right to choose their partners and their sexual behaviors but if proper precautions are not taken free sex may bring about serious consequences for themselves and society,” Dr. Hong said.

Dr. Nguyen Hoi Loan from the Psychology Faculty of the Hanoi University for Social Sciences and Humanity said that family relations in Vietnam are being harmed because of the modern life, in which people are very busy and they don’t have time for their families.

Dr. Hong said that Vietnamese society lacks conditions (systematic education of sex, lack of sympathy for divorced people, etc.) for people to engage in healthy free sex.

According to this expert, free sex can be divided into several groups.

The first group includes married couples who face problems in marriage. However, they cannot divorce because in Vietnam, it is something very bad. They seek balance by having sexual relations with others.

The second group includes married people who don’t have problems in marriage but they can still have sexual relations with others when they cannot be open with their husband/wife in sex. In Vietnam, sex is still considered as a taboo topic.

“This shows the collision between the old and the new value, which has not been accepted in Vietnam. Vietnamese still praise family value and a person’s success is linked with family so many people don’t dare to break their families,” Hong analyzed.

The third group are young people, including teenagers. When they are not controlled by families, they live on their own and develop sexual behaviors of their own.

The last group are single people who have sexual relations with different partners to change their feelings or to escape from stress at work.

“Free sex will boom in Vietnam because economic independence of individuals is being enhanced so they are not tied down by family relations,” Hong said.

“I think that free sex with the above negative acts is not good because when we see sex as a tool to deal with some matters. There will be emerging matters such family break-ups, threats of diseases, problems related to children, etc,” she said.

Vietnam to proceed with nuclear power plants
================================================== ====

Vietnam’s energy officials say that recent explosions at Japan’s Fukushima plant will not affect the country’s development of nuclear power plants.
At the moment, Japan is dealing with the world's worst nuclear incident since Chernobyl.

Emergency workers forced to retreat from the Fukushima plant when radiation levels soared prepared to return Wednesday night after emissions dropped to safer levels, AP reported.


For the past week, they have engaged in a desperate, low-tech struggle to prevent a full-blown nuclear meltdown – just 217 kilometers from Tokyo.

The accident has caused some developed countries, including the United States, to abandon plans for nuclear power development.

However, at a Hanoi press conference Wednesday (March 16) called by Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology, officials and scientists pledged that any facilities built inside the country would include the latest safety features informed by the unfolding catastrophe in Japan.

“Vietnam is planning to build nuclear power plants,” said Deputy Minister Le Dinh Tien. “Information and assessments of the blasts at the Fukushima No. 1 plant will act as a foundation to help Vietnam’s relevant authorities appropriate nuclear power programs in the country.”

Russia and Vietnam signed a multi-billion-dollar deal, in October, for the Southeast Asian country's first nuclear power plant in the south-central province of Ninh Thuan – Vietnam and Japan plan to cooperate on two other nuclear reactors.

By 2031, Vietnam plans to put eight nuclear plants into operation.



Lessons learned

Dr. Vuong Huu Tan, head of the Vietnam Atomic Energy Commission, said several factors caused the explosions at Fukushima.

The explosions at the 1st and 3rd reactors were caused by hydrogen interacting with oxygen outside the reactor. The hydrogen was formed when the superheated – and increasingly brittle – metal fuel rod containers came in contact with sea water being poured over them to prevent a meltdown.

Tan said that another reason for the explosions was that the reactors weren’t equipped with passive safety systems.

“The Fukushima No. 1 plant was designed to withstand major quakes and tsunamis,” Tan said. “But its weak point is that the cooling system uses active safety features, which are backed up by power produced from diesel-run emergency generators.”

The tsunami flooded the generator, preventing the cooling system from working. Tan said Vietnam’s first nuclear plant would be designed with an automated cooling system.



Fool proof

“The Ninh Thuan nuclear power plant’s modern reactors will be protected by a passive safety system,” Tan said. “Therefore, the plant’s cooling system can work naturally, without an human intervention or backup electricity.”

He said as the Japanese plant was built in 1960s and 1970s – when passive safety systems weren’t available yet.

As for the Vietnamese nuclear power plant’s ability to withstand an earthquake and tsunami, Dr Ngo Dang Nhan, director of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Bureau, said that Vietnam’s eight proposed nuclear plants will be built in areas that are not likely to be hit by such disasters.

Nevertheless, he said, experts and authorities will take necessary precautions.

Nhan also said that to ensure Vietnam’s reactors are safe, human error must be taken into account.

“If we don’t have professional engineers and experts, it will be very tough in case of problems,” he said. “We need a legal framework with strict operation and maintenance regulations to make the nuclear power plants safe.”

Safety will be a priority for Vietnam as it pursues its nuclear program in cooperation with Japan and other countries, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Nguyen Phuong Nga said Wednesday.

"Vietnam will cooperate closely with Japan and its partners to create the best plan for building nuclear power plants... and at the same time ensuring nuclear safety and environmental protection," she said.



Vietnam unaffected by radioactive leaks

The Ministry of Science and Technology said Wednesday that Vietnam won’t be affected by radioactive leaks following the explosions at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant.

Dr. Dang Thanh Luong, deputy director of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Bureau under the ministry, said Vietnam’s air monitoring stations showed nothing unusual.

He also cited international meteorological experts as saying that the radioactive clouds produced by the compromised plant are heading North-East of Japan towards the sea and will definitely not head toward Vietnam.

Da Nang again the top province
=============================================
For the third year in a row, the central city of Da Nang has continued its reign as the top performing province in the country's Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) with a score of 69.77.

The northern mountain province of Lao Cai and southern Dong Thap province followed with scores of 67.95 and 67.22.

Surprisingly, despite being top from 2005 to 2007, the southern province of Binh Duong Province fell to fifth place.

It was the first time since the initiation of the competition five years ago that Binh Duong has fallen out of the premier group.

The Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta continues to amaze with its steady and consistent improvement. The region accounted for nine of the 22 provinces and cities ranked as "excellent" or "high" in the 2010 PCI.

The sixth annual PCI was based on a survey of 7,300 domestic firms that contributed opinions on nine aspects of governance in 63 provinces and cities. These aspects comprise entry costs, land access and security of tenure, transparency and access to information, time taken for complying with regulations, informal charges, proactivity of provincial leadership, business support services, labour and training – and legal institutions.

The views of 1,155 foreign invested enterprises were also included for the first time to provide insights into the existing Foreign Direct Investment footprint in Viet Nam.

They also throw light on the challenge of improving the business environment to attract higher value-added investment to sustain economic growth.

Young couples increasingly producing children out of wedlock
================================================== ================

VietNamNet Bridge – With a fear of childlessness hanging over their head, many couples decide to go against tradition and have babies before getting married.


Explaining their decision, they said that their relations are serious so it is not important whether they have a baby before or after marriage. They say it is better to have baby before marriage because the infertility rate is very high now.

“We are ready to get married so we decided to not use contraceptive devices. Whenever my girlfriend is pregnant, we will immediately organize the wedding,” said Toan, a construction engineer in Hanoi.

It is important that his parents also back his decision so his girlfriend doesn’t feel great pressure.

However, many couples are not lucky to have a baby even after forgoing contraceptive devices for a long time.

Infertility is on the rise in Vietnam. The rate was eight percent in 2010, said Deputy Minister of Health, Director of the Central Obstetrics Hospital Nguyen Viet Tien.

At the country’s largest obstetric hospital, Tu Du Hospital in HCM City, the infertility rate is 10-15 percent. Some 40 percent of the cases occur in wives, 40 percent in husbands, 10 percent come from both sides and 10 percent are unclear.

Having a baby before marriage is no longer considered “unacceptable” in Vietnam. Many parents are glad to welcome both the daughter-in-law and the grandchild at the wedding ceremony.

Many future mothers-in-law advised their sons to be serious in relations but encouraged them to “test” the girl who they plan to get married to know that she will not be childless.

“I’m afraid that my son will marry a childless girl. It is no problem if she is pregnant before getting married,” said Mrs. Nguyen Kim Chi, 50, from Hanoi.

This behavior is understandable because many families are too poor to treat infertility. At obstetrics hospitals, many couples spend dozens of thousands USD but they could not have a baby.

Besides natural reasons, many young couples are childless because of the wrong lifestyle in the past.

Doctor Nguyen Thi Hong Minh, from the Central Obstetrics Hospital, said that having sex liberally and lack of knowledge of contraception has led to an alarming rise in abortion, especially among students and youth.

It is advised to take urgent contraceptive medicines just four times a month but many girls take four pills a week, doctor Minh said.

Vietnam is one of the three countries that have the highest abortion rate in the world. The country has around 70,000 abortion cases a year, with 20 percent made by juveniles.

For those who want to buy hi tech goods to be used in VN

So easy to buy fake hi-tech goods in VN
================================================== =

VietNamNet Bridge – The Dong Kinh Market, the biggest and most bustling market in the border province of Lang Son, is considered the “paradise” of prohibited hi-tech goods, where imitated products are dirt cheap.

Those who have cars, would be interested in GPS (global positioning system) devices. However, if they do not want to spend money to buy genuine software Vietmap which is priced at no less than 4-6 million dong (US$200-300), they can use the imitated Vietmap sourced from China.

GPS devices have been available at Dong Kinh Market in large quantities. At all the kiosks here, people can easily find the imitated digital map which has the surprisingly low price of one million dong integrated in a device with unfamiliar brand “LLC”. The device uses 12V electricity sourced from the built-in lighter. It has a 3.5-4 inch color touch screen with instructions in English, Chinese and Vietnamese.

At Dong Kinh Market, the “floor price” for GPS device with 3.5 inch screen integrated with Vietmap software 2007 version. The same device with Vietmap software 2009 version is 300,000 dong more expensive. “The products do not allow updates If you purchase the product priced at 1.3 million dong to install in your car, it can get the signals emitted from the police’s speedometer from the distance of one kilometer,” a seller tried to persuade a man to purchase the products.

In fact, no one knows for sure about the real quality of the products; however, the surprisingly low prices can easily persuade people. The goods are so cheap that buyers would not regret much if they can use them for some time even if they have to throw them away later.

Besides GPS devices, high-tech buyers can also find eye-catching mobile phones which have been designed with the inspiration from super cars such as Porscher Lamborghini, or Hummer.

Most of super car-styled mobile phones have 2.2 inch touchscreen with 65,000-256,000 colours, and 2.0-12.0 megapixel camera. The mobile phones allow the user to listen to MP3 music, watch MP4 film… and have the price of two million dong on average. However, the mobile phones which allow two-wave simcard (both CDMA and GSM networks) are priced at 2.5 million dong.

In fact, such mobile phones are also available in Hanoi. They are much cheaper, by hundreds of thousands dong per product, than at Dong Kinh market.

However, the biggest problem here is that buyers at Dong Kinh Market cannot use the warranty services, while they can do if purchasing products in Hanoi. In fact, some sellers offer warranty services in order to attract more buyers. But buyers would have to go back to the market, 150 kilometers far from Hanoi.

The noteworthy thing in the market is that prohibited goods are displayed openly. The “black technology” products, such as cameras, or key hooks with eavesdropping devices, are available at all electronics kiosks.

Most of these products are as small as matchboxes. The products use 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz band of GSM network and they have installed the MiniSIM of mobile phone in order to be used as sound recorders.

In February 2011, according to Buu dien, as the supply is profuse, the devices are selling very cheaply, at 500-650,000 dong. The products with more complicated functions which allow to automatically call those, who want to eavesdrop, would be 100,000 dong more expensive.

The currently valid Government’s Decree No. 59 stipulates that all eavesdropping equipments are listed as prohibited goods. However, at Dong Kinh Market and other markets in the border provinces, such as Tan Thanh, Dong Dang in Lang Son province, Coc Leu in Lao Cai, the laws have been “ignored”. In fact, the market management taskforce has turned a blind eye to the products.

Burning hi-tech products for the dead
===============================================

VietNamNet Bridge – “When my child was alive, he really liked playing online games so I have to buy a 3G USB stick to burn for him so he can have an internet and play online games in the underworld”.

This is one of interesting orders for votive paper product shops on Hanoi’s Hang Ma street during the festival of the Kitchen God, which falls on January 26.

Votive paper producers have quickly adapted to the times to make the most modern electronic products such as iPhone, iPad, laptop and digital cameras to serve the dead. However, Mrs. Loan, who runs a votive paper shop on Hang Ma street was astonished by the request of a woman.

After purchasing necessary items for the Kitchen God Festival, the middle-aged woman ordered an iPhone, a laptop, and a MP3 player, all of which the shop could immediately provide. “I was very surprised when she ordered an internet connection drive,” Loan said.

“When my child was alive, he liked playing online games very much so I have to buy a 3G USB stick to burn for him so he can have internet and play online game in the underworld,” the woman said.

She lost her second son in a traffic accident over a year ago. First the woman studied internet connection methods and then she asked Loan to design a 3G USB stick for her dead son because device is very convenient.

The woman also said that she would burn a lot of votive money for her son pay internet fees.

“We haven’t faced any technical matter for such unique orders but through this order, I can learn from experience for next year,” Loan said.

According to votive paper shops, brand name hi-tech products are selling very well this year. A paper laptop is priced VND30,000 ($1.5), a paper iPhone VND80,000 ($4), a paper MP3 player VND70,000 and a 3G USB stick is VND40,000 ($2). However, they only produce these things in orders.

Since mid-January, many shops have sold hundreds of iPhones and laptops and they have refused new orders since early this week.

Hang Ma Street was most crowded in the morning of January 25, one day before the Kitchen God Festival. Products for the dead were hung in front of shops or displayed on the pavement. Apart from traditional items like traditional costumes and cash, cars and clothes with world famous brands were also available.

Sellers said that the living standards of Hanoians are getting higher so it is not difficult to sell votive products worth of several hundreds of USD.

Café for homosexuals in Da Nang
==========================================

VietNamNet Bridge – There is a special café in the central province of Da Nang – Nhip Dap - where homosexuals gather during the weekend to talk, to enjoy music, to learn knowledge about HIV prevention and to be their true selves.

In Vietnam in general and in Da Nang in particular, homosexuality is shunned. Some still thought that it is a communicable disease. “Nhip Dap” café has become a place where gays see each others to seek sympathy and sharing.

The owner of this special café is Nguyen The Trung, an employee of the Center for Public Health Consulting in Da Nang. His job is answering questions and consoling people who are recently aware that they are homosexuals and giving them knowledge on safe sex.

Trung said he opened “Nhip Dap” to make a playground for homosexuals and for educating them about HIV prevention. Condoms are also handed out for free at “Nhip Dap”.

Knowledge on HIV prevention and safe sex is also combined in songs and played performed at the café by staffs of the Center for Public Health Consulting. After performances, Trung often organizes games or quizzes on HIV/AIDS.

The 25sq.m café has become a home for homosexuals, where they can be themselves.

Trung also opened a dancing class for homosexuals, who can work as dancers for the café.

“I felt wretched when I knew about my true self. My parents were heartbroken. They forced me to quit my job to go to hospitals and mountebanks to cure myself. I love my parents very much so I have tried to work and save money to support my parents to bring up my younger brother and sister. I have a stable job and now I want to live for myself and help people of the same plight as me,” Trung said.

Trung and his friends at “Nhip Dap” Café have assisted many people to seek balance after they noticed that they are homosexual men.

Trung said there was a 9th grader who showed himself as a gay at school. The school told the boy’s parents about the case. The parents insulted the boy and expelled him from their home. The boy’s friends also kept away from him. Trung consoled the boy and saw his parents to explain to them that homosexuality is not a disease and the boy is innocent.

“At first, they told me that it was their own business and I should not intervene in. But I tried to convene him and they have understood the matter. The boy has returned to school,” Trung said.

“Nhip Dap” has become a home of homosexuals in Da Nang city. “I come to this café every Saturday. This is my second home,” said a student.

Vo Thanh Trung, Deputy Director of the Center for Public Health Consulting, praised the café’s contribution for spreading knowledge on HIV/AIDS and safe sex to the community of homosexuals in Da Nang.

After-school service welcomed in HCM City
================================================== =
VietNamNet Bridge – School hours finish at 4.30-5 pm, while parents cannot leave offices before 5.30 or 6 pm. That is the reason why a new kind of service has appeared in HCM City – supervising children after school.


The demand is high

“Our child leaves school at 5 pm every day. Both my husband and I have to leave the office late, so we cannot pick up our child, a second grader” said Phan Thi Thong Nhat, who lives in Tan Binh District. “Several months ago, after hearing that there is a center which can take care of the children after school, I decided to use the service. The service is good, because it fulfills our needs”.

According to Nhat, workers of Happy Back Home center are present at exactly 5 pm every day to pick up children. The children then are carried by taxi to the center, where they can relax, have a bath, drink milk and then have light meals. At 6 pm, children begin studying with teachers who show them how to do homework exercises and other work. The teaching sessions finish at 8 pm.

“I have to do only one thing – pick up my child at 8 pm. Our child does not have to study at home anymore, because he finishes his work at the center. Therefore, we have more time to talk with him during the dinner, something that we could not do in the past,” Nhat said.

The total sum of money Nhat has to pay for the service is 1.6 million dong a month, which, according to Nhat, is not costly. In the past, tutoring lessons alone cost Nhat 1.5 million dong a month.

Meanwhile, Phan Minh Anh, who lives in Go Vap district, related that she has to spend 600,000 dong a month for a similar service. Every day, her child – a third grader, is picked up from school and carried to a house, where he can relax, have a snack and prepare for the next day’s lessons.

“The service provider is a retired state employee. She loves children, therefore, she provides the service,” Anh said.

In fact, Anh feels a little bit worried about the service, because her child has to stay in a cramped room after school where many students are gathered. Meanwhile, the meals are not very good, and the service providers are not trained teachers. However, Anh said she does not have any other choice.

“My husband and I return home late, at 7 pm every day. It takes us another hour or so more hours to prepare dinner. Therefore, my child does not have time to both eat dinner and prepare for the next day’s lessons. Meanwhile, children need to go to bed soon,” she complained.

The high demand from parents like Thong Nhat and Anh has led to the strong development of afterschool programs in HCM City.


Problems exist

Dong Thi Minh, a parent in Phu Nhuan district, related that she has been relying on the service provided by a kindergarten teacher. After school, the teacher needs to carry her child to the teacher home, feed the child a glass of milk and let him play while waiting for the parents to come.

“One day, I left the office early and decided to go to the kindergarten to pick up my child. When I got there, I saw a motorbike that carried five children aged from three to five. I saw my child sitting behind the motorbike driver, with no seat belt. It was terrible,” she said.

Many parents have another worry about the safety of the service. After the school hours, children are taken to the homes of service providers. Meanwhile, the design of houses is completely different from the design of kindergartens. For example, sockets at homes are within the reach of children. Meanwhile, teachers do not spend much time taking care of children, because they have to arrange work themselves.

The most ideal solution for keeping children after school hours is that schools provide extra services. However, school teachers do not agree to working extra hours. Therefore, using afterschool services remains the choice of many parents.

i think TS does not owe anyone a living and he is neither paid to do translation, so if he wants to translate, he can do it, but if he does not want, he is not obligated to do so.

My take of the translation is this... the guy who did the translation just did the Literal translation without explaining what it could also mean.. and that lead to the tommy guy jumping to the wrong conclusion and accussing his gf that she is going to marry another man! Haiz...

For Singaporean, to ask for such translation, need to becarful... literal translation will usually end up with misunderstanding unless u know the culture of the Vietnamese.

For example, EM and ANH is YOU and ME. TAO and MAY is also ME and YOU, but the meaning is world apart!!!!

So in this case, even if TS were to translate, it will not be very far from that mis-leading translation done by the other guy(when done in English), so what is the point???

Its only when u throw in lots of cultural highlights than the meaning become clear, and anyway, the initial message by tommy guy, he left out a very important piece of info... he did not say each of the message is Sent by who to who and that is also one of the main cause of the mis-translation.

Hoan Kiem turtle fished out for treatment
==============================================

VietNamNet Bridge – Some 50 people, including marine commandos were involved in the catch of Hoan Kiem turtle on April 3. After several hours, the legendary turtle was towed to the Rua (turtle) isle in the middle of the lake for treatment of its wounds.


The mission started in the morning, in with some sunlight and light wind. Workers of the KAT group and Hanoi’s marine commandos spread a big net and prepare an iron cage.


By 3 pm, workers defined the location of the turtle based on bubbles on the surface. The turtle was driven into the big net, which covered around 200 square meters.


Workers brought the iron cage and an iron net to the water. Within one hour, workers gradually narrowed the net from 200 to 20 square meters with the turtle inside.


At around 4.30 pm, the turtle was driven into the iron cage. The cage was pulled by two boats to the Rua isle. Workers were both pulling the cage and singing.


The turtle was moved from the iron cage to a specialized tank called the “turtle hospital”.


Thousands of people, including foreign tourists, witnessed the mission.


Le Xuan Rao, director of the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology, said that workers practiced three times before the catch.


This was the second time that Hanoi fished out the turtle for treatment. The first time, on March 8, the mission failed because the turtle torn the net and escaped.


A “turtle hospital” was built on the Rua isle. Another tank, which is hundreds of square meters, is being built as the “sanitarium” for the treatment after it is treated on the Rua isle.


Hanoi authorities decided to fish out the turtle for treatment in February 2011, after several times the turtle floated to the surface with many wounds on its body.


Hanoi set up a steering board to save the turtle. Members include scientists and veterinary experts. The board has decided to treat and take care of the turtle in a process ranging between two months to two years.


The city will also improve the aquatic environment of the Hoan Kiem Lake.

Bro due to the recent TOAD issue, I think u are very "stressed" that he DARE NOT meet up with u. Something for u below:

Eat to sleep well
=============================
Lotus seeds are particularly helpful in producing a good night’s rest, according to local herbalists
Sleep is vital for recovering from a stressful day. Insomnia caused by stress, work, family conflict, disease or environmental reasons can lead to nervous breakdowns, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and even cancer.

I recommend countering insomnia by eating cooked dishes of lotus seeds, long nhãn (dried longan), nấm mèo đen (a kind of edible mushroom called jelly ear fungus), and nấm linh chi (literally: supernatural mushroom, or lingzhi or reishi mushroom). These ingredients are easy to find at the market.

Lotus seeds are particularly helpful in producing a good night’s rest and are the basis of the following five recipes.

A tasty porridge can be made by cooking 100g of lotus seeds, 30g of sticky rice and 100g of sliced lean pork in a pot of water over a medium flame until it turns into porridge and the lotus seeds are soft enough to eat. Season with salt and sugar, and serve hot.

A good variation is lotus seed and nấm linh chi soup, which is made by cooking 100g of lotus seeds, 20g of nấm linh chi and 30g of sticky rice in a pot of water over a medium flame until the concoction thickens and the lotus seeds and mushrooms are soft enough to eat. Season with sugar and enjoy one hour before going to bed.

Another is lotus seeds and hải sâm (sea cucumber). For this, place 100g of lotus seeds and 200g of sea cucumber in a pot, cover with water, and simmer until the lotus seeds and sea cucumber are soft. Season with sugar and salt, and eat ahead of the evening meal.

Lotus seeds and coconut also go well together. Put 100g of lotus seeds in a pot, cover with water and simmer until they are soft. Then add 100g of scraped coconut plus a pinch of sugar, and stir well. Leave the pot on the stove for five minutes before ladling out and drinking the soup.

The fifth lotus seed recipe is for a sweet soup and needs 100g of lotus seeds and 200g of dried longans. Put both in a pot with three bowls of water and cook gently until the seeds are soft. Sweeten to taste with sugar.

Besides lotus seeds, nấm mèo đen is the basis of several dishes for treating insomnia.

Here are three recipes:

The first needs 50g of nấm mèo đen and 50g of nấm mèo trắng (white fungus), which should both be soaked in a bowl of water for 15 minutes, removed and rinsed. Place them in another bowl along with some rock sugar and a little water. Pour two bowls of water in a pot, and place the bowl of mushrooms in the pot. Steam over a high flame until the mushrooms are soft, which should take about 15 minutes. Eat the mushrooms and drink their water in the evening.

The second recipe requires 15g of nấm mèo đen, 8g of nấm mèo trắng, 6g of nấm linh chi (lingzhi or reishi mushrooms), five black jujubes and three thin pieces of ginger. Place the lot in a pot with 750ml of water and cook over a high flame until the mushrooms are soft. The soup can be enjoyed before lunch or dinner.

A sweet soup can also be produced with 30g of nấm mèo đen, 30g of nấm mèo trắng, 30g of lotus seeds and five black jujubes. Put all the ingredients in 750ml of water in a pot and cook over a high flame until the mushrooms and lotus seeds are soft. Add a pinch of crushed rock sugar and stir well. Enjoy the sweet soup for dinner.

Rau nhút (water mimosa) also aids in sleeping well. This vegetable can be eaten by first washing and soaking it, or it can be cooked in water along with some freshwater fish to go into a sour soup.

is it same same the story about turtle/tortise and kusu island??? :confused:

No no no, its not the same fucking turtle story of the kuku island in Singapore, the one in Hanoi is very classic one.. let me tell the story here...

In the olden days, a Vietnamese hero went to the lake and a BIG Turtle surfaced with a sword and asked that Hero to use the sword to chase the Chinese back to China. Hero succeeded and once taske completed, he went back to the Lake and Return-the-Sword to the turtle... therefore the name of the lake... Return-the-sword (in Chinese) lake.

So as u can see... its actually a chinese name... and in the Hoan Kiem district.. the busiest part is made up of 36 small streets... each street starts with the name Hang this and Hang that... for example.. Hang Giay.. Hang Buom.. Hang Tre... these 36 Hang conincides with what the Chinese identifies as the 36 tradtional businesses/trades and also the saying in Chinese.. "36-trades.. every trade produces a king-pin.."
So, the Hoan Kiem Lake, Hoan Kiem District. and temples in Hoan Kiem, and all the festivals in Vietnam, all concides with China culture, because for a long time China ruled Vietnam and has a very strong influence over it.

Yes. You are right. When I saw your post regarding the turtle, I immediately asked my friend in Hanoi whether she went to see people catch turtle. She was very very impressed.

She also told me that seeing the big turtle to surface in Hoan Kiem Lake is considered very good luck. Therefore, every time when the turtle surface, there will be a crowd gathering just to see the turtle. You can find some videos from youtube.

nan ni = ask, beg, persuade

I agreed with the rests. Btw, fyi, "qua troi" = a lot, many many. Literally, word by word translation, "qua troi" means "more than the sky"

It’s cheap and easy to go studying in Singapore, but…
================================================== ======

VietNamNet Bridge – Going to Singapore to study is now the biggest choice for Vietnamese students, who hear that the tuitions set by Singaporean schools are “reasonable”, while living expenses are “affordable”. However, this proves to be not the best choice for many.

These days when most of high school students are sprinting to prepare for the university entrance exams, some other students are busy considering the “profiles” of Singaporean schools and the offers by Vietnamese overseas study consultancy firms to make decisions on registering for Singaporean schools.


Singapore – a reasonable destination


Statistics showed that about 1000 Vietnamese students go to Singapore to study every year. Most of these students fund their own studies and do not receive scholarships. Most of the students study in Singaporean private universities, because public schools only enroll excellent students.


Nguyen Thi Duong, Director of Goldenway Education, said that Singapore has become a favorite destination for Vietnamese students because the schools here commit to shorten the study time, offer low tuition, especially the tuition for “hot” majors, such as business administration, hotel management, or finance and banking.


For example, students only have to spend 12-15 months to get a junior college degree and spend 18 months to get advanced junior college degree. The tuition is about 3000 US dollars at mininum for a degree program. If counting on living expenses, a student would have to pay 5200-6000 Singapore dollars, or 100-150 million dong, a year. The expenses prove to be much lower than the expenses students have to pay when studying in other countries, or even lower than the expenses for some degree programs in Vietnam.


Meanwhile, Vietnamese students can easily register training courses and begin studying at any time of the year. If studying in Singapore, they can study in an international environment, while they can shorten the time required to study, which allows them go get jobs and earn money sooner.


After obtaining junior college degrees in Singapore, Vietnamese students can easily transfer credits to study at British and Australian universities and get bachelor degrees from the universities.


Also according to Duong, many Vietnamese students like going to Singapore to study because enrollment is very easy and there are no interviews. In many cases, students do not have to show learning records and do not have to prove their financial capabilities.


Risks existing

Phu Nu newspaper reported that the editorial board once received K.H, who left for Singapore to study under a contract signed with the Canh Tan, an overseas study consultancy firm. H planned to study at Queensfield Business School and had to pay 98 million dong for the consultancy service and other procedures. However, H realized that she was tricked, because she had to study at a quite different school in Singapore.


T.H.A was told by an overseas study consultancy firm that if she wanted to study in the US at low costs, and did not want to prove her financial capability or English skills, she should register to study at a Singaporean school for one year and then transfer credits to study at an US school.


However, after one year of studying in Singapore, the Singaporean school “forgot” to transfer credits for H.A, while the consultancy firm refused to help, saying that it has fulfilled its duties.


Bui Minh Diem Chau, Deputy Director, Dean of Cetana PSB Intellis, a 100 percent Singaporean invested school, said that there chaos in the private education market in Singapore. And in order to settle the problem, in May 2010, the Ministry of Education of the country decided to apply “edutrust”, the certification standards to protect students’ rights.


By the end of January 2011, only 17 private schools in Singapore had got four-year edutrust, and 43 schools had one-year edutrust. Meanwhile, many other private schools are still illegally enrolling international students.

Pre-first grade class – the education level which only exists in Vietnam
================================================== ===============

VietNamNet Bridge – Though primary schools will only begin enrolling first grade students in September, parents have to prepare for the race for prestigious schools right now by sending their children to pre-first grade classes, orho the classes which prepare students for first grade.

Tran Tuyet Mai, an officer of a media company in Hanoi, related that she has to spend time calling some of her acquaintances to ask for advice on whether to send her child to a pre-first grade class. Mai said that in fact, she does not want to force the child to begin learning too early, but she fears that if the child cannot learn to read and write before going to the first grade, he will lag behind his classmates.


Mai said after several days of consulting with friends, she still cannot make a decision on whether to force the child to attend school before going to the first grade, because all the contradictory advices seem to be reasonable.


Children driven by necessity to go to pre-first grade classes


Hoang Phuong, who has a son studying at Dich Vong A Primary School in Cau Giay district in Hanoi, said that she regrets not sending her child to an extra class before he went to the first grade. While the other boys and girls all could read and write when they entered the first grade, Phuong’s son could not, because he had not spent any time on learning. As a result, the boy always had to stay late at the school after the school hours as requested by the teacher, to practice writing and solving math questions. “He feels he lags behind the classmates, therefore, he is afraid of learning,” Phuong complained.


Though modern mothers believe that they should not force small children to study before a certain age, they are not confident enough to practice what they think. Hoang Lan in Cau Giay District related that she is teaching her son to spell and write, but as she does not have a good pedagogical method and her son cannot learn well and he panic every time when the mother yells at him. Therefore, after consulting with some other mothers, Lan has decided to send the child to a pre-first grade class run by a primary school teacher.


Lan is not alone. Therefore, the demand to learn to read and write for children who are preparing to enter the first grade is very high. That explains why pre-first grade classes have been full of students, though the new academic year will only begin in six months. An acquaintance of Lan has advised her to send her the child to a pre-first grade class run by a teacher of the school where Lan’s son will go. If Lan still cannot find such a teacher, she will have to bring the child to the centers which specialize in organizing pre-first grade training courses. In Hoan Kiem district in Hanoi, such a course with 40 lessons costs 2.5 million dong.


Where there is demand, there is also supply


Having realized the high demand from parents, a lot of non-state primary schools have opened pre-first grade classes for children who are going to kindergartens. Doan Thi Diem school, private primary school in Tu Liem District in Hanoi, is now organizing a course for children who are preparing to enter the first grade, called “Childhood Club”. Meanwhile, Le Quy Don school, another private school has also enrolled children in the “summer club 2011”. Though it is a “summer club”, the school began receiving applications in January and the club has opened since early March. Here at the club, children get acquainted with Vietnamese language, mathematics, English and some intellectual games.


Meanwhile, state officials have many times advised parents not to send children to pre-first grade classes because the learning proves to be too much to handle for children. Pham Xuan Tien, Head of the Primary Education Division under the Hanoi Education and Training Department, affirmed that those children, who finish kindergarten are capable enough to enter the first grade, because at kindergartens, children are already prepared for the first grade by recognizing letters in the alphabet and learning to do simple operations.


However, despite the official statements, parents still bring their children to pre-first grade classes, because they understand that their children will not catch up with the classmates if they do not learn in advance. At most of the state-owned schools, there are about 50 students and only one teacher in every class. Therefore, the teachers are always overloaded with works, and they will not have enough time to take care of every student.


Even Tien also thinks that if children are not familiar with the student appraisal method applied by some schools by attending pre-first grade classes, they will not pass the school entrance tests. Currently, the demand for studying at some prestigious private primary schools is very high. Therefore, the schools have to organize tests to select the most capable students.

The ages of the kids who use brand name goods
================================================== ====

VietNamNet Bridge – The distinction between the students from rich and from common families is evident within primary schools and has raised worries among parents.


The students who only use branded goods

Van Anh, a third grader, is the child of a successful businessman who specializes in trading high grade apartments. Anh only goes shopping with her parents at big shopping malls like Parkson, Diamond Plaza or Vincom, while she never goes to normal department stores. Every time she goes to Hong Kong or Singapore with her parents, she always brings home famous brand name clothing.


Anh’s clothes and belongings are expensive, each of which is worth from one million dong to several million dong. A dress or a pair of Esprit shoes is priced at several million dong, while Lego toy or Barbie doll is worth no less than one million dong.


It is estimated that Anh’s clothes and toys are worth a total of hundreds of millions of dong. Speaking with Anh, one would hear Anh talk extensively about famous brands, the characteristics of the products and of course their prices. Anh does not like domestically made products because she believes that they are “rustic”.


A mother who has a son studying at a prestigious school in HCM City said that there are two “classes” in the school. One consists of students from average families and the other consists of students from wealthy families. The students from the “upper class” always wear branded schoolbags worth hundreds of dollars, D&G clothes worth several million dong, and have iPhones. Meanwhile, students from average families only use domestic products.


The mother complained that now the “class distinction” can also be seen in education.


“Awkward situations always occur when students vote for extracurricular activities. Students from poor families only want to visit popular places in Vietnam, because the trips are not too costly, while the kids from wealthier families only want to travel abroad,” she said.


Meanwhile, according to Nguyet Mai, a parent, “there are two kinds of rich parents”. Many rich parents think that wearing expensive clothes is a must, because this shows the “upper class” of their children. Besides, there are also the parents, who have a passion for branded goods.


The first group of parents includes the ones who are really wealthy. With a monthly income of hundreds of millions of dong, they can spend tens of million dong to buy famous branded clothes for their children.


The second group includes the ones who also like products with foreign brands, but they are just popular everywhere in the world, and in some cases the products are outsourced to Vietnam.


Using branded goods in the eyes of an American


Robert Dewitt, an US citizen said on VnExpress that it is not by chance that children of the modern times pay attention luxury goods when they are still young. Higher living standards and the opportunities to access high quality goods prompt parents to purchase expensive branded goods.


Like their parents, children have also used to new consumer habits. It is not advisable to criticize adults or children, but it is also not advisable to encourage these consumer habit.


He noted that in Vietnam, using branded goods is a way for many people to show which class they belong to. They are ready to spend much money to buy branded goods, just in order to be admired by other people.


The US is a wealthy country, but US consumers do not spend money immoderately. “Quality is the first thing we consider when deciding whether to purchase goods,” Robert said.

Viets have always been brand conscious.

It's whether they can afford the reals or the fakes. :)

As easy as purchasing informatics and foreign language certificates
================================================== ============

VietNamNet Bridge – Informatics and foreign language certificate markets are mushrooming as certificate suppliers well understand the high demand from school graduates who need more and more certificates to “beautify” their CVs.

After making a phone call, having a meeting with the seller and paying 200,000 dong, one can receive an informatics and a foreign language certificate granted by the Science Technology Union for Informatics Application (UIA).



Buy more and get promotions

Tien Phong’s reporter, who acted as a recent university graduate, called T, a well known “broker” of the certificate market and said he needed some certificates. T answered that if buying both informatics and foreign language certificates, buyer would have to pay 200,000 dong. If buying a foreign language certificate only, he would have to pay 120,000 dong, and if buying an informatics certificate, he would have to pay 80,000 dong. There was even a special offer: Tien Phong’s reporter could enjoy a preferential price of 180,000 dong per couple of certificates (informatics and foreign language) if he purchased three pairs or more.

In an effort to reassure the buyer, T said that the certificates are granted by UIA, a well know institution which has its headquarters in Hanoi. When the reporter said he wanted the certificates granted by the Ministry of Education and Training, T said she would only be able to provide the certificates after 7-10 days, but the prices would be higher at 400,000 dong per certificate.

The Tien Phong’s reporter gave T two 3X4 portrait pictures and his identity card and waited. “No need to worry about the certificates. They are real certificates. Your name will be listed in the records of students, who took training courses at school. The only difference is that you do not have to attend the courses and you do not have to take exams,” T reassured the reporter.

T kept her words. On the next day, she gave the reporter a certificate of informatics skills at B level granted by UIA, for which the reporter had to pay 80,000 dong. The reporter then had the certificate notarized and did not meet any obstacles when getting the certificate notarized.



Purchasing certificates is better than taking exams

When asked if there are many students who seek to purchase certificates, T said: “A lot of people have the demand. Especially, the demand increases sharply after Tet, when students are preparing to finish university and are looking for jobs”.

Having realized the high demand, more and more people have joined the ring of providing certificates. Advertisement pieces have also been posted on Internet, the place where buyers can most easily find the suppliers. Typing “Nhan lam chung chi tieng Anh, tin hoc” (providing English and informatics certificates) on Google will provide 2.4 million results. Some online forums have pointed out that the market near Hanoi National University can provide certificates at the best prices, while buyers do not have to wait long to get the certificates.

The demand for English and informatics certificates is increasingly high on the market because the two kinds of certificates are nearly compulsory for all candidates who apply for jobs.

The service of providing certificates has become so convenient that though many people have the required skills and knowledge pass exams, they would rather buy certificates that attend exams . The problem is that students have to go through many complicated procedures to obtain a certificate granted by the local department of education or the Ministry of Education and Training.

An officer of a foreign language and informatics center in Hanoi said that in order to get certificates, students will have to attend the exams after they finish their training courses. If they want the certificate granted by the Hanoi Education and Training Department, they have to pay 300,000 dong as an exam fee. After that, they have to wait for exams and then wait for more two weeks to get certificates. Meanwhile, people usually want to get certificates as soon as possible and are not willing to wait.

H, a student of the Hanoi Industry University related that he has bought a certificate. “I did not want to sit the exams to get certificates. The procedures were too complicated. Meanwhile, I needed the certificates immediately to apply for jobs. The recruitment campaign would finish before I could get the certificates,” he said.
