Thanks.

I don't know why I cried.
Maybe he doesn't appreciate the things he has.
I made a mistake.
The mistake of choosing the air (environment) that is more painful (difficult or maybe even painful & difficult)

that's my take anyway.

Singapore Interpol men cheated by Hanoi taxi driver
=================================

http://news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne...02-308384.html


Two Singaporean men who are participating in the 80th Interpol General Assembly in Hanoi were cheated by a local taxi driver.

The taxi driver charged them 40 times the normal fee and even stole their cell phone.

According to victims Chen Ang Dani and Than Sha Pen, the driver forced them to pay VND6 million (S$362.85) for a 10km ride which should have cost only VND150,000.

The victims told police that the incident occurred on October 28 when they took a taxi.

The taxi allegedly has a license plate number of BKS 30K-6476 and purportedly belongs to Phu Gia Group, according to VnExpress newswire.

They were driven from Phan Boi Chau Street to Hanoi's National Conference Centre and eventually had to pay US$200 (S$253.74) and S$100.

The men said that after arguing with the driver over the prices, they left behind an iPhone 4 which could not be found.

Hanoi police yesterday announced that they have identified the taxi driver and are hunting for him.

The 80th Interpol General Assembly started in Hanoi on October 31 and is expected to end on November 3.

Hospital bribery much more than what’s in ‘the envelope’
================================================== ======

Since early this month five major hospitals in Hanoi have caused quite a stir with a campaign asking their health workers to refrain from receiving money offered by patients or their families who hope for better care in return.

However, I doubt that the practice, which is an act of bribery but a long custom at most Vietnamese hospitals, would be stopped by one “say no to envelopes” campaign. The initiative was named so because such bribes are often given in envelopes.

Several studies have shown that many don’t just give money because doctors ask. Many also initiate the giving because they believe that it will help their sick relatives receive good care or save them from long lines for treatment at crowded hospitals.

They pay any doctor, nurse and other health workers involved in the treatment of their relatives – VND50,000 (US$2.39) for a nurse whenever she gives an injection, VND1 million ($47.89) for each doctor who attends a surgery… Even people who are in charge of replacing blankets are paid.

The practice is common because patients and their families are intimidated by the fact that doctors and nurses, surrounded by thousands of patients, can barely give enough care to each patient. In fact, it has been reported that at big crowded hospitals, a doctor conducts checkups on 80-100 patients per day.

Then, why don’t patients choose other hospitals that are less crowded? Health clinics and hospitals are available in most districts across Vietnam, aren’t they?

The truth is that even if patients want to get out of crowded hospitals where 45 percent of patients are found dissatisfied with health workers’ attitudes and administrative procedures – according to a recent survey by the Vietnam National Union of Health Workers – they won’t do so.

Compared to local hospitals and health clinics where malpractice often occurs – and is commonly fatal – big hospitals with experienced doctors are still better.

That’s why although they are poor and live hundreds kilometers away, many people still choose major hospitals in the big cities.

So, to eliminate the infamous practice of bribery in the Vietnamese healthcare industry, there are many more important things that the government must do outside its promotional campaign.

Related agencies, for example, need to put more investment into health clinics and preventive health centers in districts, communes and elsewhere at the local level.

They also need to target one of the major problems that has plagued the Vietnamese healthcare industry over years: the shortage of healthcare workers, especially at small health clinics. Better salaries and working conditions will also help attract more student applicants to medical schools, and will also help keep them from feeling they need to solicit bribes from their patients.

The bribery will only stop when all people are provided with equally good treatment and conditions.

Two apprehended for allegedly cheating Japanese in Hanoi
================================================== =====

Police in Hanoi have arrested two people, including a taxi driver, for allegedly cheating two Japanese out of more than VND8 million (US$380), VnExpress reported on November 2.

The newswire report quoted police as saying that in October, 38-year-old Nguyen Dinh Hung, who can speak English, invited two Japanese students to Hanoi’s downtown by the taxi of Nguyen Quy Manh, a 25-year-old taxi driver at the Noi Bai Airport.

After passing the airport’s toll booth, Hung told the foreigners that they had to pay VND8 million in fees, police said.

Because the Japanese didn’t have enough cash, Hung told them to withdraw cash from an ATM booth.

According to police, the duo took VND8 million along with 2,000 yen ($25) from the students.

The case is being investigated.

An official from the capital’s police said in VnExpress that several cases with the same scheme have occurred around the airport.

“We are making efforts to stop and hunt down such criminals,” the unnamed official said.

In the meantime, Hanoi’s police are still tracking down a taxi driver who allegedly charged two Singaporeans nearly VND6 million ($285) for a distance of about 10 kilometers, the newswire reported.

The foreigners, who were then attending the Interpol’s General Assembly meeting in the city, also accused the driver of taking an iPhone 4 that they forgot in the taxi.

bro... give it an open heart. she has a reason to lie to u, if u think so. u shd know having a r/s with vb, be it wl/non-wl-/ex-wl, is not easy as most ppl thought. so don't think too much, play within your limits, take calculated risk and enjoy the moment because life is simply too short... so again remember this: don't think too much so to speak, i realize i will be very unhappy all day long if i think too much.

just my 2 cents nobody knows what will happen in the future.

[AdGuy]

In my opinion...

People always lie for their own benefits, girls or guys, VBs or otherwise. No one's a saint, and we should not categorize anyone as being from a different race.

If Sgp guys were all that good, we wouldn't be in a sex forum.

Well anyway, this is a language thread, not a thread to discuss love. Let's move on.
