Nha Trang, the city of passion
============================

Nhan Dan- Nha Trang, in the old language of the Cham ethnic group, means the river of reeds. The City that stands beside the river is named after the beautiful river. Phong Nguyen tells more

Nha Trang is a peaceful city, from its weather to its people. It has been an attraction in central Vietnam for a long time, with a growth rate in the number of tourists arriving of around 16% a year in recent years.

People often dubbed Nha Trang “the City of beauty” or “the City of Misses”, because it has hosted various beauty contests, national and international. They are the Vietnam Beauty Contest 2006, The Beauty Contest for Vietnamese worldwide 2007, Miss Universe - Earth 2007, Miss Universe Vietnam 2008. Despite various difficulties in organizing big events, all the contests have been successful. The city is preparing to host the Miss World 2010, the biggest event of this kind globally.

Not just the land for the beauty, Nha Trang has various other things to offer. Many other national events are being held here, ranging from conferences, cultural and sporting events, campaigns, etc.

Scuba diving in Nha Trang, one of the highlights when you travel to Nha Trang Vietnam.

The Nha Trang Sea Festival is one such event. Held every 2 year, the event is considered as a major festival by the locals. In 2009, local authority is planning for such a festival, and they have already planned to invite art troupes from various countries and territories to exchange with local art troupes, to give audience a feast of art.



Nha Trang has great potential for MICE (Meeting, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibition) tourism. Therefore, the city is upgrading its infrastructure in order to best realize its potential. Ports, airports, roads, telecommunications, banking systems, etc., are all being upgraded to international standards. The local authority is gaining more and more experience in hosting big events, while the local people are getting used to welcoming tourists. In 10 years’ time, the city envisions to be the centre for economics, science, and education for the south central and central highlands region, and is a tourism hub. It will also serve as a hub for the whole central region, and be a focal economic and transportation point.

The provincial authority will focus all human and material resources to develop the city faster so that it can integrate itself better in the regional economy. At the same time, the city should preserve its own culture, nature and traditions so as to be a tourism hub in the central region. Besides, it has also developed solutions to increase the people’s awareness in urban development and environment, to keep the city clean, civilised and friendly.

The city is adjusting itself to make it better, and to make any travelling experience to the city a memorable one.

Da Nang - A great place to go
============================

VietNamNet Bridge - Da Nang, a coastal city in the central region, is a place where you can relax and visit many beautiful places. With all the hills, mountains, islands and sea, Da Nang is always filled with fresh air.

The city of Da Nang is located close to plains, hills, mountains, islands, and the sea. Its climate is temperate and there are many historical and cultural sites in and around the city. The tourism sector of Da Nang offers a variety of tourism products.

Approximately 13km east from the center of Da Nang is the large Son Tra Peninsula.

From a distance, the peninsula looks like a mushroom that sits 693m over the water. The cap of this mushroom is the Son Tra Mountain, and the stem is the Son Tra Beach with smooth, white sand - an ideal place to play sports and enjoy fishing or swimming.

The Son Tra Peninsula is a national park where many species of wild animals and plant varieties are preserved and fresh water is available.

On the Son Tra Peninsula there’s a 4,370ha primeval forest. With the green of forest trees and the blue color of seawater, the Son Tra Peninsula has a romantic but imposing beauty.

On the Son Tra Peninsula, one can enjoy the fresh air and contemplate the wonderful natural landscape of this place, and learn about the lives of fishermen here. They can also enjoy various kinds of seafood.

Not very far from the Son Tra Peninsula to the south is the Ngu Hanh Son mountain range, which is a special attraction of the entire central region.

The Ngu Hanh Son mountain range consists of six limestone mountains, each with its own name. The legend is that there was a sea dragon that flew to the seashore and laid some eggs. After 1,000 days the eggs hatched and out of one came a beautiful girl. The egg shell became the five mountains, which were then named by Nguyen Lord after the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth.

The northern-most mountain is called Thuy Son (Water Mountain), the one to the east is Moc Son (Wood Mountain), to the west Kim Son (Metal Mountain), to the south is Hoa Son (Fire Mountain) and in the middle is Tho Son (Earth Mountain).

Hoa Son is actually two small mountains, Duong Hai Son and Am Hoa Son. So, you can say that the Ngu Hanh Son mountain range consists of six mountains - your choice. But regardless, it also has many caves.

At Ngu Hanh Son there is also a famous pagoda, named Chua Khong, and the Tang Chon Cave. The six Ngu Hanh Son mountains are adjacent to the Non Nuoc Beach, one of the six most beautiful beaches in the world.

Not far to the west of Da Nang is a large mountainous area that is adjacent to the Truong Son mountain range. In this area there are primeval forests with various animals and plants. There are also old houses built in the French style.

In the area of the Ba Na Mountain Range there are adequate tourist facilities, including villas, restaurants and a modern cable car to take visitors from Vong Nguyet Hill to the highest mountain, 1,400m above the sea. From the top of this mountain one gets a panorama view of Da Nang - the city on the banks of the charming Han River.

When it’s not raining at the Ba Na mountaintop, one can perhaps watch it raining below. At the Ba Na mountaintop, the weather keeps changing so that people can see and feel the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, all within one day.

The Museum of Cham Sculpture, in the center of Da Nang, is enjoyed by almost every visitor to the city. This museum was built in 1915. It preserves and has on display thousands of Cham sculptures that are from between the seventh and the 15th centuries.

Leaving the center of Da Nang and going to the north one can see Hai Van Pass - an imposing picture created by nature. From the top of the Hai Van Pass one can see an overview of Da Nang - a young city that is changing everyday.

Foreigners impressed by Vietnam's Tet festivities
===================================


“Unique”, “Pleasureful”, “Exciting”, “Beautiful”, “Different”, “Great”. These are all words used by foreign visitors to describe their impressions of the festivities of Vietnam's Tet Holiday, even if they have only been staying in Vietnam for a very short time, or are just in Vietnam for a short business trip or holiday.

Chameston, from Australia, who spent the past 8 days in Vietnam on holiday says: “Hanoi has a great atmosphere, a great variety of food, and lots of things to see and do.” Although he has never seen Tet before, and does not know much about the traditions of Tet, he affirmed that it is indeed a pleasure to be in Vietnam during such a special time.

“The people seem to be friendly and peaceful,” he added. “They are also very enterprising, industrious and welcoming. I look forward to seeing more of your country, people and traditions.”

Before the arrival of Tet, Vietnamese people often spend a great deal of time preparing for it, including cleaning and decorating their houses, in order to welcome in the Lunar New Year, with the hope of bringing good luck and happiness for the rest of the year. The many decoration impressed Lei Kan, from China, who just arrived in Vietnam only two days ago.

“I have not had the opportunity to see inside a Vietnamese house that has been prepared for Tet, but I’ve seen many booths and street sellers selling the materials to decorate people's houses,” he said.

Some of the traditional and typical materials used for decoration in Vietnamese houses during Tet are kumquat, cherry blossoms (more common in the North) and apricot blossoms (more common in the South). “I find the tradition of giving flowers and fruit trees very interesting, especially the special significance placed on the color, shape and number of petals of the flowers, and the shape of the tree and its branches,” said Michael Betz, an American and online newspaper sub-editor, who has been in Vietnam for nearly one year. “This giving of flowers and fruit trees, and the long and special history behind it, is very unique to Vietnam, and can be seen nowhere else in the world,” he added.

Tet is also a chance for family gatherings and enjoying special food, including traditional sticky rice cakes. That is why, when being interviewed, Ruard Brouwer, from the Netherlands, who has been on holiday in Vietnam for 4 days, said that his strongest impressions on Tet so far is the food and the many parties. “I like most all the gatherings and drinking with others during Tet,” he said.

Sharing part of Ruard Bouwer’s feelings, Yang Shu Jun, from China, who has worked in engineering management for five years in Vietnam, said that he was impressed with the fact that during Tet, all members of a family get together at their home and have special meals together. “It is a very happy and speical thing. Every house has a fresh appearance with the red couplets posted on the gate, and people in new clothes smiling here and there.”

Lei Kan again said: “I do not have any plans to spend Tet in Vietnam at this time. But if I have a chance in future, I would like to do it with a Vietnamese family, and experience the family atmosphere and see how they celebrate Tet.” He also said he liked the many celebrations, family get-togethers and the speical Tet food.

Tet is also unforgettable to people even after they have left the country for a very long time. “This Tet is the first Tet that I will celebrate again, as I am coming back here after 30 years away, since I left Vietnam in 1979,” said Thong Huynh, from the UK, who has been in Vietnam for 3 weeks. “I am very excited to see my relatives and have Vietnamese food, especially “banh chung” (sticky rice cakes). I feel quite happy, as I can spend Tet with my family for the first time in a long, long while.”

He also said he liked the dragon and lion dances which are held on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Tet is not only the most important annual festival for Vietnamese people, it also creates lasting impressions and brings out strong feelings in foreigners who stay and travel in Vietnam during Tet.

Is trickery their way of LIFE????!!!

Shady buses prey on passengers going home for Tet
======================================

Workers from Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone in HCMC on a bus back to their hometowns for Tet
A woman named Man and her son were found crying by the roadside last Saturday after a bus company took their fare but kicked them off the bus only halfway to their destination.


Stranded at the edge of the Hoa Khanh Industrial Park outside the central city of Da Nang, Man and her son had no way of getting home. Their hopes for a happy Tet (Lunar New Year) faded away quickly.

They are not the only ones. Every holiday season, unscrupulous bus companies cheat passengers for profit in an opportunistic blitz of intimidation and even threats.

As travel demand increases drastically before the Tet holiday, which falls on January 26 this year, droves of passengers have reported being conned, swindled and outright robbed of hard-earned money by gang-like bus companies.

The groups competing in the racket overload their buses, disobey traffic laws and don’t hesitate to use coercion and even force when they don’t get what they want from their passengers.

Thuggery

Extortion is rife on the Tet bus circuit.

A passenger who intended to take a bus from the southern province of Binh Duong to Thua Thien–Hue Province in the central region last week said he was lucky to escape after the bus driver and his collaborators demanded that he pay money without taking him to his destination.

He said he managed to escape when they opened the bus to take another passenger.

A xe om (motorbike taxi) driver in Binh Duong Province said many people had been extorted on buses in the area.

Residents near Suoi Tien Theme Park in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 9 said they knew of recent cases in which 16-seat buses had taken passengers to remote areas to extort them.

On Monday, passengers on a bus traveling from the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long to HCMC had a terrifying experience when their driver threatened a competitor with a sword in competition for roadside passengers.

The bus was then stopped by Tien Giang Province police, who seized the sword and a one-meter iron pipe.


Overcharged, overloaded

Many workers from HCMC and nearby provinces going back to their hometowns in the north for Tet said they had endured overloaded buses that often drove around for hours picking up extra passengers before starting their actual journey.

The fare, which is always taken in cash instead of by ticket bought at bus stations as regulated, is always jacked-up during the holiday period.

A worker named Thao from the Song Than Industrial Park in HCMC’s Thu Duc District said she took a bus headed north from the Mien Dong Bus Station last Wednesday.

She said she had to wait for two hours while the bus waited for more passengers at a gas station.

The 52-seat vehicle then carried 65 passengers north for a period before suddenly turning back to the gas station to continue waiting.

Half a seat on that bus, the only choice besides standing, cost VND400,000 (US$23) to get to Quang Binh Province in central Vietnam.

A driver’s assistant on another bus en route from HCMC to Hanoi insulted several passengers and pushed them off the bus after they asked to get off while the bus circled the area in search of more passengers.

Bus companies often have their employees sit in the bus while it waits for passengers, tricking would-be customers into thinking that the bus is almost full and ready to go. As soon as the new passengers board, the employees get off the bus and wait for others to fill their seats.

Passengers in the central provinces say even luxury express buses have been overloading passengers, charging higher fares, and recklessly speeding.

A high-end bus from Kien Giang Province in the south to Thai Binh Province in the north was fined by traffic police last Saturday for carrying too many passengers through central Binh Dinh Province. Binh Dinh police said the driver had been previously fined once by police in Ha Tinh Province for the same breach.

Another bus from Quang Binh Province to Quang Nam Province was caught speeding at up to 120 kilometers per hour, more than twice the allowed speed on most parts of the route. The driver said he would “just take the ticket and continue the journey, even though my license and papers were confiscated.”

Police work

HCMC Traffic Police Division No.6 recently fined 447 buses for traffic violations during the first 10 days of January. Over 350 were fined for not dropping passengers at the correct places, while others had breached parking laws or failed to follow their registered routes.

Dozens of buses have been caught speeding and carrying too many passengers everyday in the central provinces.

Many traffic police have issued measures to take a bite out of shady bus companies. But fines, discharging passengers and revoking licenses haven’t done the trick.

Some law enforcement agencies simply don’t care.

Newspaper correspondents traveled from HCMC to northern Thai Binh Province by bus last week and reported that the vehicle passed several police “checkpoints” carrying 69 people in a 52-seat vehicle.

At a checkpoint near the Tan Phong crossroads in southern Dong Nai Province, police checked the driver’s license and counted the number of passengers before letting the bus go without any fine or ticket.

The bus was reprimanded only once when it was stopped later by police of Khanh Hoa Province. It received a fine for carrying 14 passengers too many. The passengers were moved to another bus.

On Saturday, a 44-seat bus traveling from the Central Highlands province of Dak Nong to Hanoi was carrying 67 people. It was stopped for the first time on National Road No.25, connecting Gia Lai and Phu Yen provinces, by a police officer who counted the number of passengers and allowed the bus to continue its journey without any fine.

The vehicle was then stopped by police in Da Nang City twice, but was still able to resume the journey after receiving a ticket.

Re: Tieng Viet lovers club

Actually the culture of vietnamese is very similar to ours....

The dos and don’ts of Tet
========================

Many ethnic minority groups, such as Mong, Dao, Tay Nung and San Diu, do not sweep the house or empty out rubbish during the lunar New Year (Tet) festival. Cao Lan people do the same as they are afraid of disturbing the Fortune God’s slumber and that their luck may also be swept away.

Mong ethnic minority people do not eat vegetables on the New Year Day, since, if they do, they think that means they will have to eat nothing but vegetables for the whole year to come. Cu Duy Man in Dong Van in the northern mountainous province of Ha Giang, said that Mong people are told not to do many things during Tet. They should not blow out a flame for fear that storms will hit their region in the year. On New Year’s Day, people should not wake each other up to prevent insects from damaging crops.

Many ethnic groups through the countries, from the plains to mountainous regions, often bring water to their houses on the New Year Day as they believe that fortune will flow into their house as much as water. People of Chinese origin take water and fresh flowers on New Year’s Eve and put them on their ancestoral altar to pray for bumper crops. On New Year Day they water their body to pray for luck. Pu Peo people bring water to their house on New Year’s Eve and consider it “silver and gold water”.

Cung Chan Trang, a resident in Pho La, Dong Van, Ha Giang province, said people often use the water they take on this occasion to wash their children’s faces in the hope that they will be brighter and more intelligent. After washing, the water is poured around the inside of the house, as it symbolizes fortune, silver and gold, he added.

On the New’s Year Day, Thai ethnic people in Moc Chau in the north-western mountainous province of Son La, get up early and go to a stream to wash their faces and pick up a stone to pray for luck. Then they visit their relatives and extend Tet greetings. Meanwhile, Thai people in Quynh Nhai, Son La, organise a hair washing ceremony at 1pm on the day before New Year’s Eve in the hope that bad luck and hardship suffered in the old year will soon be washed away, and the new year will bring luck, happiness and bumper crops.

Meanwhile, Lo Lo people take things from other people’s houses which they think will bring luck, such as onions, garlic, pieces of firewood or vegetable plants. They believe that if they can take something into their house before New Year’s Eve, their family will be wealthy and happy. Vang Thi Thanh from Lo Lo ethnic group from Lung Cu, Dong Van, Ha Giang, said each year has 12 months, so she often takes 12 logs of firewood or 12 vegetable leaves. People often take the root of a garlic tree, however, it will be bad luck if someone fails to completely up root the tree, she explained.

On New Year’s Day, the Phu La people get up early to bring water home and boil it to drink or boil it with leaves to bath for good health. Other ethnic groups also follow suit. Perhaps, water is an indispensable part of life in an agricultural country like Vietnam.

Off the tourist track
===================
Phung Hiep Floating Market in Hau Giang Province is situated on the confluence of seven small rivers
Little known Hau Giang Province has great sights to see for Mekong Delta visitors.


Between Soc Trang Province and Can Tho City in the Mekong Delta, attractive Hau Giang Province is a relative newcomer to tourism.

For people ready to take the detour away from the usual destinations, Nga Bay Floating Market, Tay Do Ecotourism Park, and Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve in Hau Giang will make the trip worthwhile.

Nga Bay Floating Market, also called Phung Hiep Floating Market, is in the heart of Phung Hiep District’s Phung Hiep Town, about 30 kilometers south of Can Tho. The trading post is located at the meeting point of seven small rivers. Operations at this market begin early in the morning, with hundreds of boats arriving with farm produce from every direction. Visitors can catch a boat and take in the early Mekong morning, shopping for fresh fruit and produce.

Lung Ngoc Hoang Nature Reserve, which is also located in the district, has more than 500 species of plants and animals including many rare ones. Covering nearly 300,000 hectares and extending from the western bank of the Hau River to U Minh National Park in Kien Giang Province, the reserve is considered the “green lung” of the Mekong Delta.

Tourists can explore the forest by boat, climb up the “watch tower” to see birds and animals or sit in the shade of trees to fish. Cooks are ready to make dishes from the fish they catch.

Tay Do Ecotourist Park, also in Phung Hiep, covers 20 hectares of land and offers accommodation. There are live shows of southern traditional music in the shade of fruit trees, fishing, and a bonsai garden. It deserves an overnight stay for visitors to Hau Giang.

Other places of interest include Vi Thuy Cajuput Forest Ecotourism Park, and Tam Vu Ecotourist Park.

With its tourism potential, Hau Giang is expected to become a popular destination in the delta.

Learning the language
======================

Students and teachers of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in the Republic of Korea during their performance of a play in Vietnamese late last month.
More foreigners are speaking Vietnamese fluently than ever before - for reasons both educational and economic.


In just over a year, Park Ki Young from the South Korea has learnt to speak Vietnamese fluently.

Park’s motivation for taking the four-year Vietnamese studies course at the Ho Chi Minh City-based University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH) is simple.

“In Rok it is very hard to get a job, so I study Vietnamese in the hope that I can find a job here,” Park says. “Maybe I will live for a long time in Vietnam.”

Park has 149 other foreign students for company in his bachelor degree course at the USSH.

For short-term courses, there are more than 600 foreign students, says USSH’s Vietnamese Studies Department Head Nguyen Van Hue.

More than 4,000 people have registered for the courses annually in recent years, double that of 2005, Hue says, adding that more than half of them are Korean, followed by Japanese and Americans.

This school year, the USSH opened its first postgraduate Vietnamese Studies program with 20 students.

The HCMC University of Education, meanwhile, has been offering graduate and postgraduate programs in Vietnamese for about 10 foreign students every year, says Associate Professor Du Ngoc Ngan.

The number of students for short-term courses is from 20-60, she says, adding that the figure has increased sharply compared to the last 10 years.

While some like Park learn Vietnamese for working and living in Vietnam, others learn the language for the purpose of researching and understanding Vietnamese culture, people and the country.

Thibaut Nguyen, an overseas Vietnamese from France, for example, learns Vietnamese for research purposes.

The sociology major says he will learn Vietnamese in HCMC for around four months before continuing his trip to other places like Nha Trang, Hoi An, Hanoi and Sa Pa.

Some take very short courses just for touring, like David and his friend from the US. During their five-day trip to HCMC, they registered for a one-hour course in Vietnamese to learn all the greetings, the names of main food dishes, and correct ways to pronounce the different places they wanted to visit.

Overseas classes

The number of students learning Vietnamese has also increased at overseas colleges.

A Vietnamese instructor in the South Korea says about 100 people are studying

Vietnamese at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, and every year, around 30 apply for the course.

The Pusan University of Foreign Studies, meanwhile, admits 50 students for its Vietnamese program annually, says its instructor who wishes to be unnamed.

“Korean students study Vietnamese very hard,” says one instructor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. “They compete to score high marks which is very important for them to look for a job after graduating.”

Although the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies admits only 20 students to its annual Vietnamese course, their entrance score is now the highest amongst those opting for Southeast Asian language courses, says Hue, who has taught Vietnamese for five years in Japan.

In 1991, the score was lower than that of those choosing to study Thai, he adds.

The Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University in Fukuoka City can teach six Vietnamese classes with a total of 130 students, according to Hue.

Japanese students who graduate from universities with Vietnamese as their major have opportunities to work for corporate giants like Toyota, Honda and Yamaha, Hue says.

“So they invest much into their studies. During holidays, they often visit Vietnam for seeing the country and practicing their Vietnamese.”

Even to prepare for a festival week at home, they come to Vietnam to buy clothes, food and other necessary things to perform plays, recite poems, sing, make wallpapers, and set up food stalls, he adds.

Cell phone operators warn users to rely on landlines during Tet


Major mobile network providers have told customers to prepare for network blockages on the Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday, which begins on January 26.


Phone networks had already experienced overloads, about a week before the holiday.

Users of VinaPhone and MobiFone networks have complained about being unable to contact other network users including Viettel subscribers.

Many MobiFone subscribers said their cell phones had informed them of a “connection error” when they tried to call over the last few days.

In previous years, mobile network jams only occurred on the Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday and a couple of days leading up to it.

Some phone users are carrying three different types of SIM cards so they can switch networks if there are problems.

Vietnam Posts and Telecommunication Group (VNPT) provides both MobiFone and VinaPhone network services while Viettel Telecom under the Military Telecommunications Corporation provides the Viettel network.

Despite hopes that networks would stay clear, the providers have been advising customers to keep landline and Internet phone services available for use.

MobiFone has set up an extra 20,000 transceivers and improved its 20 mobile switching centers (MSC) nationwide.

It has also boosted capacity to cope with four to five times the normal demand for calling and texting.

Viettel Telecom said it set up 15,000 base transceiver stations (BTS) last year while VinaPhone BTS’s 6,000 would be increased to 10,000 by Tet.

All providers, however, were struggling to keep pace with the skyrocketing number of subscribers.

Bui Quoc Viet, director of VNPT’s Communications and Public Relations Center, told a press conference on Friday that subscribers should be prepared to use landlines in case of overloads especially on Lunar New Year’s Eve (January 25).
