I have some more sms which I don't fully understand, your help is kindly appreciated.

"phu tra no" = responsible for paying her debt?

O ben day muon an cai do ma e dau goi cai do la cai gi dau an, boi vay nhin doi luon.

What is the meaning of "nhin doi luon"? I can only guess that she wants to eat something but don't know how to order (Just like what happened to me when I was in Vietnam!), so often just see see only.

How to get “nice” registration numbers?
===============================================

VietNamNet Bridge – Since the grant of motorbike and car registration numbers was computerized in May 2006, people would think that “brokers” for special registration numbers have “died”. But Dan Tri online newspaper has investigated and found out that these “brokers” still live very well with their service.



What is a special registration number?

Special registration numbers are easy-to-remember numbers. Moreover, Asian people think that numbers like car numbers are linked closely to their fate and success.

The best numbers have many 6s and 8s (which mean luckiness and prosperity), for example 6666, 8888, 6868 or 8686. Other four-digit registration numbers with only one number (2222, 3333, etc) are also said to be good, except for 1111 and 4444, because 1 means making no headway and 4 means death. Other registration numbers like 0660, 7887, 6886, 1234, 5678, etc. are also special.

There are some numbers which don’t obey the above rules but are said to be special by car owners, such as 1102 (uniqueness), 1668 (more prosperity), 8386 (getting rich), etc.



How much is a special registration number?

According to Dan Tri, it is very easy to see brokers of motorbike and car registration numbers: in front of the head office of the Transportation Police Department – Hanoi Police Agency at 86 Ly Thuong Kiet street, Hanoi.

A broker told Dan Tri that to get a registration number which has the total number of all digits of eight and nine, customers have to pay 4 million dong. Customers can also choose the registration number they like but they have to wait for period of time.

Asking the broker about “tu quy” registration number (with four same digit, for instand 8888, 7777, 6666), he said that clients will have to wait for a long time. He said he couldn’t get the numbers 8888 or 9999 because these are very special numbers, just for “big bosses”. The prices for other “tu quy” numbers like 7777 or 6666 are from $7000 to 10,000.

At another office of Hanoi Transportation Police Department on Nguyen Trai road, Ha Dong district, Dan Tri’s reporters also met with a broker named Tuan, who offered to get number 6868 at the price of $12,000 and 3168 at $9,000-10,000.

This man said the prices for “tu quy” numbers are from $15,000-16,000 and from 5-10 million for numbers with digits rising (for example 1234, 2345). He affirmed that the desired numbers will be available within one week.

A “playboy” in Hanoi told Dan Tri that the most special number is 9999 because its meaning is “saving your life”. Other “nice” numbers include 8888, meaning “good fortune”, 6886 meaning “prosperity”, 6789 meaning “leveling everything”, 7979 meaning “twin gift”, 6363 as “luck and prosperity”.

In addition, there are numbers that look very simple but to get it, people will have to pay a lot of money, for example 1102, which means “second to none” or 1368 (good fortune), 2204 (immortality), 1122 (one is one, two is two).

"phu tra no" = responsible for paying her debt?

O ben day muon an cai do ma e dau goi cai do la cai gi dau an, boi vay nhin doi luon.

What is the meaning of "nhin doi luon"? I can only guess that she wants to eat something but don't know how to order (Just like what happened to me when I was in Vietnam!), so often just see see only.

luon: luôn.

phu tra no: help me to pay my debt. phu = help, tra no = pay debt.

nhin doi luon, luon is luôn I just said above. Doi = hungry. Nhin doi = stay hungry. Yup she wants to say that she wants to eat sth but doesn't know how to order, so she must stay hungry

Thank you bbbb. I hope I did not overload you. Here are some more sms questions:

2. minh phai len dien binh thien lay ket qua ngay ve chu.

What kind of place is "dien binh thien"? I have no idea.

3. con may dua ngoai duong di bay la no dua ve nuoc lien do.

Nothing happened. Because this is her first time came to Singapore and she didn't speak any languages other than Tieng viet, she feels very lonely. She told me a lot of things about herself and her friends, and also stories sisters told her through sms. That's it. So far, she hasn't encountered any serious trouble.

I met her at HM, your 2nd home.

Minimum wage rises by $4.50
=====================================

VietNamNet Bridge – As of May 1, employees at state-owned companies and limited liability companies where the state holds 100 percent of the chartered capital will have a higher minimum wage, rising from 650,000 dong to 730,000 dong per month.


According to Decree 28, issued by the Prime Minister on March 25, a new university graduate will be paid 1.7 million dong ($95) a month.

To have the financial resources for increasing the minimum salary, the National Assembly earmarked 22 trillion dong ($1.22 billion). Retirement pensions, social insurance allowances and monthly allowances for retired commune officials will increase by 12.3 percent.

The increase in the minimum wage comes from a plan to renovate salary and social insurance policies in 2008-2012. Under the plan, minimum salaries would be adjusted annually on January 1. During the economic crisis, the National Assembly in late 2008 decided to postpone salary increases to May 1 each year. As a result, this year the minimum salary will rise on May 1.

Non-state business staff have enjoyed increased minimum salary increases as of January 1 2010. The minimum salary for local firms is scaled into four groups: salaries of 980,000 dong are up by 180,000 dong, 880,000 dong goes up 140,000 dong, 810,000 dong increases 120,000 dong and 730,000 dong salaries climbed 80,000 dong.

The minimum salary for workers at foreign-invested firms is also divided similarly: 1.34 million dong (up 140,000 dong), 1.19 million (110,000 dong up), 1.4 million (90,000 dong up) and 1 million (80,000 dong up).

There are around 10 million people working at enterprises in Vietnam, including 1.5 million at foreign-invested firms. There are around 1.8 million retired people.
