Saigon bus route liking international airport, downtown area proves effective for passengers

The bus route that connects Than Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City to the downtown area has quickly become a preferred form of transport for travelers.
After one month of operations, bus route No. 109 connecting Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Tan Binh District and 23/9 Park in District 1 has received positive feedback from both domestic and international passengers.
Tran Ngoc Anh, 45, who is a Hanoi businesswoman and frequent traveler to Ho Chi Minh City, has expressed her compliments on the ‘yellow coated’ buses, saying that they are very clean, pleasant, and comfortable.
Both the drivers and employees are all very nice and friendly, Anh continued.
“Prior to the opening of the bus route, I had to spend VND200,000 [US$9] for a taxi ride from the airport to the city center. Now with only VND20,000 [$1] I can have access to a faster and more convenient journey,” the woman said.
According to Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper reporters’ observations, the bus designs include a modern interior, an anti-slip floor, a lower platform, and large luggage spaces convenient for air travelers.
Able to carry up to 70 passengers, the vehicles are also air-conditioned and outfitted with security cameras and fire extinguishers.
In addition, the drivers of these buses never make sudden breaks or sharp turns, providing a smooth experience for passengers.
According to Truong Quoc Hung, a driver of the shuttle bus, all drivers of bus route No. 109 are required to possess a Class E driver's license and five to six years of experience.
Information on the buses is written in both English and Vietnamese for international tourists while staffers on the vehicles and at the ticket counters have proper English skills to answer all travelers’ questions.
The fare for the service is VND20,000 ($0.9) for journeys over 5km and VND12,000 ($0.54) for those under 5km, driver Nguyen Thanh Dong said, adding that passengers are not charged an extra ticket for every large suitcase like on other public buses.
The six buses that ply the new route run every 15-20 minutes between 5:30 am and 1:30 am, which is very helpful for people who travel late at night, according to Hung, a resident of Phu Nhuan District.
Possible improvement
Tran Thi Thu, a passenger of the bus route, considered the vehicle very effective in terms of alleviating traffic congestion.
However, the route does overlap with route No. 152, which has a lower fare, VND5,000 ($0.22), and a longer journey, but those buses have become quite degraded, Thu said.
Many passengers have opted to travel on the No. 152 bus due to its more flexible route, such as Devadoss Jebaraj Joseph, an Indian expat who has been living and working in Ho Chi Minh City for 10 years.
“Though the new route No. 109 is very convenient, I still choose to travel on the old route No. 152 as it can take me closer to my home,” Joseph elaborated.
Nguyen Hong Ninh, a Vietnamese passenger, suggested that the bus route be extended to other districts in the city, preventing travelers from having to take additional buses or cabs to reach their final destinations.

Popular coastal city in southern Vietnam to ban eating, drinking on beaches

Authorities in the popular coastal city of Vung Tau in southern Vietnam have announced that all forms of eating and drinking will be banned from its beaches from Tuesday onward, Nguoi Lao Dong (Laborer) newspaper reported on Monday.

Located about 100 kilometers away from Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau City is a popular getaway destination for southerners, thanks to its beautiful beaches and fresh seafood.

The People’s Committee of Vung Tau said on Friday that all catering businesses and cooperatives operating along the beaches are required to move all their equipment out of there.
The committee prohibits all forms of catering businesses at the beaches starting Tuesday, as well as discouraging tourists from all eating and drinking activities on public beaches.
The People’s Committee of Vung Tau also held an urgent meeting the same day to discuss the issue after some members of tourism cooperatives expressed their objection to the ban.
Some demanded that tourists be allowed to bring cooked food to the beaches, or that the ban be postponed until after the upcoming public holiday this weekend, which celebrates the liberation of southern Vietnam and the country’s reunification in 1975.
Representatives from the cooperatives said that most of their members understood and agreed to the ban, though some have lodged a complaint to the Party Committee and the People’s Committee of Vung Tau.
Nguyen Ngoc Truong, head of the Economic Division of Vung Tau City, said that the prohibition on eating and drinking at the beaches is not a topic for debate.
“Those who sell food at the beaches have already been violating two laws, even without the ban, which are sidewalk encroachment and conducting business without a license,” Truong pointed out.
“These beaches are the tourism products of Vung Tau, but that doesn’t mean everyone should eat there,” he underlined.
Truong went on to mention how allowing eating at the beaches had worsened littering, as beach cleaners collect hundreds of buried crab shell pits at the seaside every day.
“For now, members of cooperatives who are running eateries at the beaches will be relocated to Vung Tau Tourism Market should they wish to continue their business,” Truong added.

No more BBQ on Vung Tau beaches

A 2015 ban on street vending and drinking and cooking in beaches in Vung Tau to check pollution, that has remained on paper, will be strictly enforced from tomorrow, authorities have said.
Truong Thi Huong, deputy chairwoman of the city People’s Committee, said vendors and tourists do not clean up after they gather to cook, eat and drink on the beaches, causing pollution and making the beaches ugly.
Some even leave charcoal behind after cooking, instead merely burying it in the sand, which is soon washed away by the waves, exposing the charcoal.
The city Friday ordered eateries to quickly remove kiosks, carts and other equipment they used from the beaches and clean up.
Huong said swimmers could go to restaurants and eateries near beaches instead of cooking themselves.
The city plans to create fast food areas on the beaches, and traders can bid to put up kiosks, she said.

Can Bros here explain to me the meaning of this song?

Yeu Nguoi Khong The Yeu

[tomcat007]

It probably says that the guy fell in love with a girl that he shouldn't. But, I can't afford the time to decipher the entire song lyrics. I mean I can take the effort to do so, but the girl who sent me this song and told me to go listen is acting strangely and I can't afford the time now... Someone help me please?

I knew her when she's working in JC / Saigon. Then, after she went back, I visited her couple of weeks later. She took the problem to meet me in HCMC from her hometown which is 8 hours ride away.

Update..

Hmm.. Anyway, it's high chance she's brain-fucking me cos I've been slow sending her pocket money. Lol.. Whatever...

2 Chinese among 5 arrested for bride sale scheme

Police in Ho Chi Minh City Monday arrested five people, including two Chinese men who had come to find brides, on trafficking charges.

The Chinese, Jiang Xuhua, 41, and Wu Kuaifa, 31, had reportedly entered the country in March to look for wives with the help of three Vietnamese middlemen.
They had each paid the agents VND120 million after selecting their brides. The mediators reportedly pay a third of the money to the families of the brides, farmers in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho.

The five were caught red-handed while transacting the payment at a hotel in Binh Tan District, the police said, adding that the brokers had also forged identity papers for the brides to enter China.
One of the brokers, Nguyen Thi Hong Anh, 29 was herself a victim in 2012 after being sold to her Chinese husband by a woman called Nguyen Thi Banh, 61. Anh then became Banh’s accomplice, finding Chinese men looking for Vietnamese wives.
Investigations are continuing.

Hanoi says to punish electronics store for bikini show

Authorities in Hanoi said on Friday they will punish an electronics store for inappropriately promoting its business with women in swimwear.
To Van Dong, head of the city’s culture department, told local media that managers of Tran Anh Electronics Supermarket have been ordered to report on the case.

He said inspectors will also look into other promotional campaigns and advertisements of the company.

After many people were upset by the controversial appearances of a group of women in bikinis at the shop on Thursday, the managers claimed that they were only filming "sex education videos."

In an interview with Thanh Nien on Friday morning, Ngo Thanh Dat, marketing manager at Tran Anh, denied allegations that this was a promotional ploy to attract the male gaze and lure in customers.
He insisted that rival companies were trying to "defame" his store and that his company had good intention.

“Young Vietnamese people have not been provided with appropriate sex education... so we want to make a series of sex education videos,” said Dat.
The manager did not elaborate on the content of the series and in what way the women in bikinis can teach young people about safe sex practices.
In several videos posted on YouTube and dozens of photos online, the women can be seen helping a customer park his motorbike and standing and waving next to products.

Lawyer Nguyen Thach Thao said the promotional campaign may have violated the Law on Advertising, which prohibits advertisements and acts that are deemed offensive in the Vietnamese culture.
