Japan Constructs Container in the City of Hai Phong

Japan's Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd joins with Viet Nam National Shipping Lines to construct a major container port in northern city of Hai Phong. Nguyen Dai Dung said," The 53.8ha port will be built under the public-private partnership model." It would consist of building infrastructure and use official development assistance loans from Japanese Government. Ja pan spends approximately US$250 million to build two container terminals. Japanesse companies set up plants and Vietnam wants to be an export base. Vietnam need at least $56 billion to build and upgrade their seaport before they develope marine economy.

Housing Market Frozen in Vietnam

Prople have rushed to buy a luxary apartment such as Sai Gon Pearl, The Vista, Estella, Blooming Park, Phu Hoang Anh, Hoang Anh Riverview before the housing market forze. Nowadays,there are so many condos for sale on the internet but no one wants to buy it. Tran Van Hai, head of Phu My Hung Vinaland property transaction office, said " his office his office hadn't had a luxury apartment sale for three months, despite prices at below cost." Nguyen Minh Suong, director of District 2's Dai Nam Property Co, said " a project in Nam Sai Gon Area drooped its price but it had not attracted the buyers. In addition, while they can not slow the process of the project, it is difficult to take out loans from the bank. Real estates are trying hard to grap attention from the buyers by giving out the discount and promotion but it is not successful. They offer to give 10 percent discounts, free kitchensand dong/dollar exchange rate deals that benefit all the buyers.

In my opinion, it is a trend to live in an apartment or buy a new apartment. It brings you a comfort to live in an apartment near a trasportation. For example, there are so many new apartments locate near the BTS, MRT or BRT. People buy them because it is easy to go to other places even the price is quite high. If I am a billionair i would love to buy one condo that is located near the center of Bangkok or easy to transport.

I chose this topic because I perceive that so many new condos are constrctign new the center of Bangkok or near the BTS. It is comfortable. More information http://vietnamnews.vnagency.com.vn/Economy/Business/202568/Luxury-housing-market-awaits-thaw.html

Illegal Trade in Veitnam

Vietnam and Indonesian, the Forestry Directorate, Customs, and Environmental Police,are fighting against the illegal trade such as timber, tiger and other wild animals. They discuss the way to fight against the wildlife trade. Their opinion is to develope an agreement and cooperate between two countries. Ha Cong Tuan, vice directer of the Forestry Directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, says, "This is one of the practical actions to mark the 55th anniversary of Vietnamese - Indonesian diplomatic relations." He adds, "We are looking forward to working with Indonesian authorities to effectively curb the illegal wildlife trade, while encouraging the legal trade in wildlife between the two countries,"

This is also a huge issue in Thailand. there are alot of illegal trade. It destroys the evironment and lifes. Every animals love their life same as humans. Our riligion teachs that it is a sin to take away somebody's life eventhough it is an animal. Therefore, it is not right to take away lifes. In addition, this trade will cause some effect to others. Sometimes, they kill mother and get the immature kids to sale.They can not survive by themselves. That is so pity. I personally do not agree with the illegal trade too. It will harm so many people and things. It is very interesting topic. I wonder how they are going to fix this problem. It is a good idea to cooperate two countries to help each other.

Dust Problem in Veitnam.

I read an article about the obstructiveness of the building dust in Da Nang (Residents in central Da Nang City's Hoa Vang District). It says apporximately 500 trucks deliver buliding materials such as soil, stone and sand to the district everyday. Dust infilrate into most houses. It also harms people lifestyles. Dinh Ngoc Hung says his family and his neighborhoods more than 1,000 family in Cam Nam Hamlet in Hoa Vang has been covered with dust since two years ago. He says 100 pass through his town to fill soil and stone. The residents in the hamlet try to stop the trucks. The residents say ,"Dust penetrates houses and reddens the furniture, even though people close all the doors and windows". Another resident, Vo Thanh Nhon, said the trucks did not cover their loads carefully and it blew or fell off all over the place." Pollution occurs in other city for example Hoa Nhon and Hoa Son.
It is one of the most important thing that gorverments should immediately fix. They should concern about people's health. And they also have to construct their building at the same time. The governments should be aware of people's sickness.
I chose this topic because for me it is interesting topic. I showed how Vietnam constructed their building and how people lifestyles are. It illustrates the civilization of Vietnam. More information http://vietnamnews.vnagency.com.vn/Environment/202267/Building-dust-chokes-Da-Nang-.html

Mobile Phone

There are so many phone services in Vietnam, which are Vinaphone, S-Fone, Vietnamobile and Beeline. And more than 140 million people supporter in Vietnam. MobiFone The local moblie phone networks called Vinaphone and MobiFone, both managed by state-owned Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications. They are the largest mobile phone services with the largest wireless that carry around Vietnam. People want government to decrease the rate to 20 percent but it was rejected. Local mobile phone networks are banned by the telecommunications authority last month because the reduce the price to 15 percent. Other mobile services including Beeline and Vietnamobile do not have to make make new prices to prevent from selling beloe costs.

I think, sometimes, it is too expensive for a phone call. It is unreasonable and we would not know that they cheat on the bill or not. The bill may come out more that the real. It is dificult to tell about that. it would be nice to reduce the price rate. More information http://www.thanhniennews.com/2010/Pages/20100801131330.aspx .

I choose this topic because I think eveybody are using the phone now even my sister. She is 8 years old. Surprisingly, she has a mobile phone. Therefore, i think this is a big problem and the phone bill is expensive too.

Internet Users

I have read the news about the internet users in vietnam. It mainly talk about the rank in Vietnam. on Tuesday, the report was published by Pingdom website monitoring service about the internet user rank. Vietnam is No.20 in the list after Cannada, which has 25 million users, because more than 24 million internat users. Now Chaina takes the top place with the highest number of the internet users, which is double of the US users. The company said," In a decade, the list may change diferrently. India, Thailand, Brazil, Vietnam are also on the rise. Nowadays, the number of the internet users increases. In my mind, the internet has everything. It seems like a small library. People can find the information easily. It is incredibly me that Vietnam is in the rank of top 20. I hope in ten years Thailand will be in the list of top 20 too. More information http://www.thanhniennews.com/2010/Pages/20100729180558.aspx .I choose this topic because it is something that is surrounding us. We normally use the internet almost everyday. In PC2, we have to do our homework on the website too. This increases the number of the internet users.

The 3rd Vietnam Idol

Nowadays,the reality becomes more popular to both adult and children. The reality is very famous here, Thailand. It is called Af. In addition, Vietnam has its reality show, which called Vietnam Idol. I had read the news about a reality show in Vietnam. It is called Vietnam Idol which was first launched in Vietnam in 2007. The second season was delayed until late August. For the 3rd season, The northern Vietnamese were chosen to move to the next seclection. The proformed hold from July 3-7. There are three judges which are singer Siu Black, composer Quoc Trung and director Nguyen Quang Dung. The first auditions will show on VTV6 on Aug 21, at 9 p.m.The winner will get a cash worth $20,000 and one year record contract. More information http://www.thanhniennews.com/2010/Pages/20100717103134.aspx. I personally like the reality show called Af because it brings out the skill of each idol. It is fun too.

Traditional Music and Art in Vietnam

Nowadays, the traditional Vietnamese music and theater is not popular to the urban kids as it used to be because poor qulity of the children's program. Acoarding to the article, theatre director Hoang Duan, head of the HCM City Theatre's performance office, says music and theater are a part of the human spirit. He says "human cannot grow without a knowledge of and love for the arts." Ho Van Thanh, art director of the HCM City Circus Theatre, agrees that "Through music and theatre, young people will be able to learn about the world, people, and culture." Furthermore, he says it is difficult to make a show for children. The directors have not enough costs to provide beautiful customes, lights, and effects. Since the year 2000, the government increases support in music and dance for children's cultural activities. The government, likewise, added the traditional music and theatre to the secondary school curriculum. Read more infomationhttp://vietnamnews.vnagency.com.vn/Life-Style/Theatre/200302/Traditional-music-arts-loses-traction-.html . I think it is a good idea to preserve the traditional culture. It will last eternally to the new generations.

Transportation in Vietnam

Geographic location of Vietnam infleunces on the developement of the country, transport and communication systems. I read this article from the http://vietnambusiness.asia/vietnam-transportation. The nunber one high way in Vietnam is the main economic road which connects 6 economic zone out of 7. It starts from Huu Nghi border gate to Nam Can. Lately, the investment constructs and upgrades the high way such as Lang Son, Hai Van road tunnel, My Thuan Bridge. The second main road, furthermore, is Ho Chi Minh City route, which parallel to the first road. It anticipates to develope the western area. Vietnames road systems also links to China, Loas and Cambodia. In my opinion, more roads equal to better transportations. It enchances the economic and it indicates country itself too.

Natural Gas and Fule in Vietnam

I had read news about a natural gas or fule, which operate in Ho chi min City. It mainly talks about the decision that is not decide yet.In May and afterwards , two public transports buses will continue to operate. After the gas suppliers retreat a decision to stop providing because the losses. If the buses are not provided enough, Petro Vietnam Southern Gas JSC (PV Gas South) planned to stop supply the gas from the middle of July. One of the operators in CNG buses seek a subvention from the city People's Committee to invest more CNG buses. It costs approximately $106,000. The Deputy director of the Department of Transport,Duong Hong Thanh, says the city People's Committee give some allowance to the Sai Gon Passenger Transport Company, but the government has not make a decision yet. A gas station was built in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province by PV Gas South. It can supply 50 buses a day. At the end, Doan Van Nhuom says "Our company loses money if it transports the gas from Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province to the city just to supply two buses," In my opinion, nowadays, gases are getting more expensive. It costs more for buses eventhough the government tries to help by giving some money to bring down the prices of the gas.

Advertised Itself Before the Enrollment

I read the new about the vocational school is trying hard to motivate someone to register into their school. Vocational school advertised itself a couple of months before the enrollment. Some schools offer to reduce the tuition fee and have a working place for students after graduate. The difficulty in enroll students to vocational school because the number of the students who apply to the university increase every year. Generally, most of the students are not interested in vocational school. In contrast, accounting, hotel management, and media easily grab more attention from the students. The schools have lack of equipments and machines. Therefore, it is a second choice for students who can not pass the entrance exam. The equipments cost one billion dong while tuition fee is five million dong per student. If vocational school raises tuition fee, they will not be able to apply. Government support, otherwise, is limited. The HCM Department for Labor will do a survey to get some information about which majors are needed and inform tot the school. So, they can get a proper training program. In my point of view, the ways people think have no different between here, Thailand, and Vietnam. Thai people, in addition, think vocational schools are the last opportunity. There is a difficulty to find work after graduated. Likewise, it earns a small amount of money. I personally understand that the equipments, machines, and the salaries are expensive compare to the income.

Tuition in Vietnam

I read news about the education in Vietnam. It is about the government, who is trying to increase the tuition fee. Nguyen Thinh Thanh, the Chief Secretariat of the Hanoi People’s Committee, confirmed that the government adjusts tuition fee at owned nursery and general school. It effects on 1st of July afterwards. He accumulates thoughts from other organization and individual on tuition growth. They think the plan need to be revision. He says the government’s value is essential to assess both the submitting date and the tuition. The People’s Committee, otherwise, believes it is not needful to summit the plan to enlarge the tuition free. The representatives from the Culture Society committee of Hanoi People’s Council strongly agree that the tuition should increase by 1.5-2. On the other hand, Government thinks that the tuition must not be higher than five percent of the person income. So, there are 3 tuition rates for urban areas and the other two for rural areas. I think it has both advantages and disadvantages in increasing the tuition fee. It may effect on some people. But, it is fair for poor family. The poverties that they face are already delicate and hurt them. If the government still raises the tuition fee, it totally wicked.

Bicycle Competition

I read the article about bicycle ridding competition. It is about

Vietnamese, who won the 1st place in the competition. Tran Thi Thu Xuan of An Giang Sports College won the third place in a bicycle ridding competition. She won with an hour and forty-five minutes for 89 miles with an average speed of 34.807km. She was followed by Nguyen Thuy Dung of Binh Duong Environment and Stephankaya Natalya of Kazakhstan. In 2005,

she won 49 points for a green jersey. She got a yellow jersey after she got the highest point in the tour

nament for several times, which was 8:08:27, followed by Stephankaya and Doan Thi Thu of Domesco Dong Thap. Next stage is the longest section and more challenging. It covers 115km from 115k

m from Soc Trang to Ca Mau City. if you want to know more information http://english.vietnamnet.vn/sports/201007/Trang-wins-another-stage-at-Open-922273/.
In my opinion, it is a sport that need a lot of endure. Not everyone will success in this kind of job easily.

In every two years, there will be an article in the news about SEA Game. There are eleven Southeast Asia countries have joined this game. It is very interesting topic because it is a development country,whixh i am curious how nice the game was. It has precious cultures. I personally want to know more about theire culture and life styles. So, I am looking up some news and I want to shear it with you. In every two years, there will be an article in the news about SEA Game. There are eleven Southeast Asia countries have joined. According to the article, the 22ND SEA Game was located in Vietnam in 2003.

Meanwhile, Phan Van Khai was a prime minister. The opening and ending ceremonies were located in the My Dinh National Stadium. Furthermore, Hanoi cooperated with Ho Chi Minh City to be a host. It was the first time in SEA Game that had two hosts. The official mascot for 22nd SEA Game was Trâu Vàng, the golden buffalo, because it represented as water and rice, which was very important in Vietnam. The host country of 22nd SEA Games received the most gold medals. Follow by Thailand and Indonesia foe 2nd and 3rd places. If you want to know more please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Southeast_Asian_Games. In my view, it harmonizes all of the players and all of the countries. Every country, who hosts the game, has done very good jobs on it.
