Vietnamese litchi eyes Singaporean market to diversify outlets
================================================== ==========================
Vietnamese trade officials are taking steps to bring the country’s litchi to Singapore in a bid to diversify outlets for the produce, rather than only rely on the Chinese market, an official said Friday.

The Ministries of Industry and Trade and Agriculture and Rural Development have developed plans to find alternative markets for litchi and other Vietnamese-grown produce to reduce the dependence on China, Hoang Minh Tuan, head of the department that manages trade in border and mountainous areas, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.

Tuan said Vietnamese litchi has recently been introduced in Singapore, paving the way for the produce to enter this market.

“Out trade officials are working hard with Singaporean partners, and Vietnamese litchi has been on display at fruit exhibitions and fairs there,” he said.

Tuan noted that these initial steps will not produce good results immediately, but gradually.

“What’s important is that businesses have begun seeking new markets when their traditional ones get stuck,” he commented.

Finding alternative markets for litchi has emerged as an urgent issue as farmers in the northern provinces of Bac Giang and Hai Duong are struggling to find outlets for their abundant crops.

China used to import most of the produce from these localities, which are the country’s largest litchi-growing areas, but exports have slowed down since early May, when China placed its illegal oil rig within Vietnamese waters.

Vietnam is also exerting efforts to have its produce exported into new markets such as Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and India.

Tuan said his officials have also worked with traders in the Chinese localities that border Vietnam to encourage them to resume imports of Vietnamese litchis.

“They remained hesitant at first, but after realizing that Vietnam still creates a condition for them to buy litchis, some traders have resumed transactions,” he said.

Another way of making a living in vn:

In photos: Gold hunting on Vietnam beach
================================================== =====
It is not uncommon to see people hunting for lost gold and diamond jewelry that beach-goers have dropped in Vung Tau, a popular tourist city in southern Vietnam.

The jewelry hunters use a metal detector to search for lost items buried under wet beach sand stretching dozens of kilometers at Bai Sau (Back Beach) in the city where many tourists come to bathe.

Tran Van Dung, 37, who has been in the business for ten years, said his job depends on luck. Dung said sometimes he can pocket VND7-8 million ((US$329-375) per month but there were times when he earned a mere hundreds of dong. (VND100,000 = $4.7)

The man added he found up to 0.5 tael of gold jewelry about seven years ago and it is also the largest amount of gold he has scavenged so far. (A tael = 37.5 gram)

Besides Bai Sau, Dung and other hunters go to other beaches in Vung Tau such as Ho Tram and Ho Coc in Xuyen Moc District and Long Hai in Long Dien District to make their living.

Former fisherman Vo Quoc Trung, 39, said the majority of lost items and stuff they have detected are silver and stainless steel jewelry since “beach-goers often take off gold necklaces and rings before bathing in the sea”.

Beware of your helmet
=================================
According to a governmental decree that was issued last year, drivers of motorbikes, electric motorcycles, and electric bicycles who wear their helmets incorrectly will be fined up to VND200,000 ($9.4) as of July 1, 2014.

According to Article 6.3 of Decree 171/ND-CP of November 13, 2013, a fine of VND100,000-200,000 will be applied to those driving or riding motorbikes without crash helmets or with helmets worn incorrectly.

Wearing one’s helmet “incorrectly” includes: wearing a helmet without fastening the chinstrap, letting the fastened strap hang loose from the chin, and wearing the helmet in such a way that it can be taken off one’s head easily by pulling up the front or the back of the helmet.

In speaking with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper about the new rule,
Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hoang Diep, deputy head of Ho Chi Minh City Police’s railway and road police department, said the city police will strictly punish all violators of the regulation.

The official also said this new rule is not applied to children under six years old, people who are carried on bikes to health facilities for emergency aid, and law offenders who are being escorted on bikes.

In addition to a pecuniary fine, violators under 16 years old (but at least 6 or over) will also have their vehicles impounded for seven days, and those who are students will be turned in to their school’s management, he added.

The door into summer
=================================
Every so often I get asked by locals, “Stivi, why do you stay in Vietnam?” It happens so frequently that I wonder if they just want to hear, “Because it’s great!” Well, we do know and love our little slice of Vietnamese heaven, don’t we?

If you were to browse Facebook, you would get the impression there’s an amazing number of expats living here in Vietnam who absolutely hate the place. Every petty bad habit of the Vietnamese culture is nit-picked, argued about, insulted, joked about, examined and abused. Yet there isn’t a conga line of expats heading for the airport shouting, “So long! And thanks for the beer!”

The culture is exhausting. Mad traffic, no sense of time, lousy table service, constant headaches as plans are changed, forgotten and cancelled and the classic, ever prevalent wedding-karaoke-death in the family-shop opening music to contend with. You could also add to the list; blackouts, breakdowns, and bad timing!

So why do we stay? Surely, life in another tropical country would be just as good if not better and probably less demented. Certainly, life without loudspeaker awake-ups would add years to our lives…

I can’t speak for all expats. Yes, I can hear the sniggers. Some of us come to do great things. Others come to help. Some for the adventure. A few for the women. So what’s my excuse?

My little story goes back to when I was a teenager. Pull up a chair and make sure the popcorn and beer are ready!

Angry, confused, lost, often lonely, I was quite an introverted lad. I hated growing up in Canberra, the capital of Australia, (a lot of people think it’s Sydney!) – cold, dreary, boring and uninspiring. I was a great reader of science fiction and one day I read a book called ‘The Door into Summer’ by Robert A. Heinlein. In the book, the hero’s cat, ‘Pete,’ is forever checking every door to the outside world in search of a summer the cat couldn’t find because the outside world was so terrible and destroyed, always looking for a place to lie in the grass under a cool tree and snooze. Cat heaven.

That story has stayed with me for nearly forty years as I constantly searched the world around me for a place to feel truly comfortable and relaxed. I never found it in a soul killing Australian office or the relentless routine of a South Korean ‘Hongwon’ (school) and surprisingly not in the deep, quiet western forests of cold Japan. Much as I loved each adventure and each love that went with it, something compelled me to move on, to keep looking… Where was my door into summer?

A surprise invitation to check three beaches – Malaysia’s Langkawi Island, Thailand’s Koi Samui Island and Vietnam’s Eastern beaches – was the beginning of yet another adventure in the northern spring of 2006. As I headed into the last third of the journey, I was still somehow disappointed. Langkawi’s sunsets are a photographer’s dream. Koi Samui was more fun – more a young man’s paradise of sun, sand and sex – not quite what I was looking for. Summer to me is relaxing and forgetting the stresses of ordinary life, not running around being busy.

On a small bridge on a bright summer early afternoon near Cua Dai beach in Hoi An Ancient Town in central Vietnam, I found that door. Staring northward across the palm trees, pale mountains in the distance, the glistening river snaking its way down across the coastal plain with green, thick, ripe rice fields on one side and shaded homes in many pale colors on the other. This was it, the one true place.

It simply felt right, the first time in nearly twenty years that I actually wanted to be in a particular location. It was a strange feeling flying back to Australia knowing that I didn’t really to stay in Oz anymore.

My family thought I was mad but supported me staunchly throughout these last six years here and it was not without failure either. A failed English school project that cost my family and me a lot of money. Dubious promises and back flips on other projects, not to mention the never-ending issues of domestic maintenance!

Many expats had similar experiences – falling in love with Vietnam without ever really being able to put their finger on what it was about the place that they liked so much. Quite a few met future wives by accident here. Others settled down simply to stop moving around the world.

Whatever the reason was, or is – we all came looking for a door into summer. And boy, Vietnam has provided it! So stick around for a while if you are not sure – you might be surprised by what Vietnam can offer…

Have you found your door yet?
