<a name='more'></a>Analysts agree with the goal but doubt it is attainable.<br />
<br />
“It will be a long and thorny path to make English used commonly in Vietnam. Our starting point is too far from the finish,” a high-school teacher in Hanoi said.<br />
<br />
He cited an MOET report as saying that 90 percent of students had less than a five score in English from the 2016 national high-school finals and only 8.8 percent students got higher than the average mark.<br />
<br />
He said that the students’ real English skills could be even worse than reported. <br />
<br />
90 percent of students had less than a five score in English from the 2016 national high-school finals and only 8.8 percent students got higher than the average mark.<br />
“I have to remind you that the statistics only show the students’ reading and writing. If students had been asked to do listening and speaking, the scores would have been lower,” he said.<br />
<br />
Ngo Minh Oanh, head of the Education Research Institute, an arm of the HCMC University of Education, cited reasons behind the unsatisfactory exam results, but emphasized that the training curriculum and teaching method are unreasonable.<br />
<br />
“The number of English lessons is insufficient and the teaching is ineffective because we focus on teaching grammar and new words,” he said. “While listening and communication skills are very important, we mostly spend time on teaching grammar."<br />
<br />
Bui Minh Tuan, a teacher of English in district 7, HCMC, said bad exam results would still be seen in the next few years as a result of the policy.<br />
<br />
“The current English teaching method just encourages students to learn words and grammar rules by heart, because this will allow them to pass the exams,” he commented.<br />
<br />
Tuan went on to say that 3-4 periods a week are not enough for students to understand, memorize and practice. With just 45 minutes, teachers only have enough time to read new words, show grammar rules and read some paragraphs of texts.<br />
<br />
Commenting about the curriculum, a parent, in an email to Phap Luat Viet Nam editorial board, wrote that students learn English like ‘climbing a greasy pole’.<br />
<br />
“Students begin learning English at primary school. But when they enter secondary school, they have to repeat lessons from the very beginning. And the same thing happens when they enter high school,” he said.<br />
<br />
Oanh said that since the teaching of English at school is ineffective, schools should not undertake the job.<br />
<br />
“It would be better to set up independent English centers put under the control of local education departments,” he said.<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>MOET has said that it will teach Russian and Chinese as the first foreign language from the third grade. It also plans to teach Korean, French and German as second foreign languages at general schools.<br />
<br />
Bui Khanh The, former Rector of the HCM City University of Foreign Languages and Information Technology, commented that students have too many subjects as school, and won’t have time to learn many foreign languages.<br />
<br />
“Too many foreign languages will be unbearable for students,” he warned.<br />
<br />
He went on to say that the demand for foreign languages is changing in different historical periods. MOET should focus on teaching English.<br />
<br />
He agrees that Vietnam not only needs workers with English skills, but also specialists in othet languages. However, this does not mean that other languages need to be taught in a large scale and at general school.<br />
<br />
Professor Tran Dinh Su, a renowned education expert, commented that teaching English is now the most important task because English is used worldwide.<br />
<br />
The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has been told that it will put a heavy burden on students by including multiple foreign languages in the curriculum at general schools.<br />
<br />
Su proposed to put the issue into National Assembly discussion.<br />
<br />
Nguyen Quoc Hung, former vice rector of the Hanoi Foreign Languages University, said that English needs to be considered the most important foreign language. <br />
<br />
Therefore, English should be the compulsory foreign language for general school students. Other foreign languages should be optional for students.<br />
<br />
While experts expressed their viewpoints in a cautious manner, parents showed their strong opposition to MOET’s plan to teach many foreign languages at general schools.<br />
<br />
Nguyen Thu Ha, a parent in Hanoi, said she was shocked with the ‘overly ambitious plan’ of MOET. <br />
<br />
“I cannot imagine how the teaching of other foreign languages would be implemented if the teaching of English, the priority foreign language, is still unsatisfactory,” she complained. <br />
<br />
Ha doesn’t want her daughter to learn Russian or Chinese. “She has to struggle with English lessons every day and I don’t think learning one more language is a good idea,” she said.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, other experts doubt that MOET’s plan can be implemented in Vietnamese conditions.<br />
<br />
Nguyen Thi Hang, a lecturer of the HCM City University of Education, said the demand for learning Russian was still high, but the teaching staff cannot satisfy the demand.<br />

<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The proposal is applicable for students from grades three to 12, the highest grade in Vietnamese high schools.<br />
<br />
According to the proposal, the first foreign language, which must be compulsorily learned from grades six to 12, can be chosen from these five languages: English, Russian, French, Chinese and Japanese.<br />
<br />
The second foreign language is optional and can be learned depending on students’ demands and schools’ conditions. It can be chosen from the above-mentioned five languages.<br />
<br />
German and Korean will be taught on a trial basis as second foreign languages if provinces and schools have the demand and the conditions needed.<br />
<br />
The foreign language teaching and learning proposal towards 2020, compiled by the MoET, also focuses on building the Russian and Chinese curriculum from grades three to 12, like English, French and Japanese.<br />
<br />
Associate Professor Trinh Thi Kim Ngoc gave her consent to the proposal, saying that learning the language and culture of China or Russia is an advantage on the international negotiation table.<br />
<br />
“English is predominant in international negotiations, but we cannot ignore the giant culture of the Russia,” she said. <br />
<br />
Nguyen Hieu Trung, a research student in South Korea, told the Tin Tuc (News) newspaper that learning Russian, Chinese and Japanese is never needless because these countries have influences on Viet Nam’s society and culture. Learning languages and cultures of neighbouring countries should be encouraged, he said.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, some experts argued that Vietnamese students should focus on learning only one language that was recognised by the world as an international language, instead of offering various choices. Students might learn the basics of 5-7 languages, but they would end up not excelling in any language.<br />
<br />
“The Vietnamese must focus on English. Learning other languages depends on the demand and orientations of families and the ability of learners,” Professor Nguyen Vo Ky Anh said.<br />
<br />
Experts also say English has been universalised in Viet Nam for more than 20 years but the quality of teachers and teaching material was inadequate.<br />
<br />
According to the MoET, nearly 90 per cent of students got English scores below five (out of ten) in the national high school exam this year. Many graduates could not apply English in real life and work.<br />
<br />
Investment on improving the quality of teachers is more urgent than adding more languages to the curriculum, experts say.<br />
<br />
Other experts suggest spending a specific amount of time to prepare the schedule on compiling material and training teachers.<br />
<br />
Professor Nguyen Quoc Hung, former deputy rector of Ha Noi-based University of Languages and International Studies, suggested conducting surveys on what students wanted before making official decisions.<br />
<br />
“The most important thing is not to make it mandatory for students to learn some languages but to let them choose. Each student should learn only one foreign language that they love and choose themselves following their parents’ investment,” he said.<br />
<br />
In response to public controversies on the foreign language teaching and learning proposal between 2016 and 2020, Minister of Education and Training Phung Xuan Nha advised parents and students to avoid worrying about the many foreign languages being taught at school.<br />
<br />
Teaching Chinese and Russian is not new but has just been applied from grades six to 12 (seven years) in universal education. The ministry has only made changes in its design of the 10-year curriculum, according to the minister.<br />
<br />
He emphasised the necessity to review teachers’ quality and the curriculum to provide uniform teaching material nationwide, while stepping up supervision on learning quality to meet standards.<br />
<br />
“We must not only focus on English, but also pay attention to demands of localities and grades. Besides prioritising English, we need to develop other foreign languages,” he said. “Cities and provinces which have the necessary facilities to teach other languages should be encouraged.”<br />

<b>Bánh hỏi lòng heo</b><br />

Có nhiều loại ăn kèm bánh hỏi nhưng lòng heo mới là sự kết hợp tạo nên đặc trưng cho ẩm thực Phú Yên. Bánh hỏi được làm từ bột gạo, sợi nhỏ mảnh mai, kèm đĩa lòng và thêm rau sống tươi xanh, chén mắm pha gia vị vừa phải sẽ tạo nên hương vị đậm đà đặc biệt. Khi ăn, cách phổ biến nhất là cuốn bánh tráng với bánh hỏi, lòng và rau sống. Thực khách có thể ăn kèm một bát cháo trắng thơm ngon. Bánh hỏi được bán ở quán Con Gà Mái đường Nguyễn Văn Đậu, giá 90.000 đồng cho hai người ăn. Ảnh: CGM.<br />

Ngoài phần cơm dẻo thơm nấu bằng nước luộc gà, cơm gà Phú Yên còn gây ấn tượng bởi thứ nước chấm riêng biệt và những miếng thịt xé thơm ngon. Bên cạnh những nguyên liệu chính là nước mắm, chanh, đường, tỏi, ớt được xay nhuyễn, công thức có một chút thịt gà xay, tạo nên độ béo ngậy và ngọt. Cơm gà Tuyết Nhung trứ danh TP Tuy Hòa đã có ở đường Tân Sơn Nhì, quận Tân Bình. Một phần cơm gà giá 22.000-35.000 đồng, tùy phần gà xé, gà chặt, đùi gà… ăn kèm rau răm, dưa chuột, hành tím ngâm đúng vị Phú Yên. Ảnh: Danphuyen.<br />

Ngoài các nguyên liệu quen thuộc như sợi bánh canh xắt, chả cá, thì hẹ xắt nhỏ phủ kín bề mặt là đặc trưng riêng biệt chỉ có trong món bánh canh hẹ của người Phú Yên.

<b><span style="color: red;">C</span>ó những tên làng rất nho nhã, nhưng cũng có những tên mới nghe người đang buồn cũng phải phì cười. Lại có những tên làng mà nói đến, đàn ông thì hả hê, đàn bà che mặt xấu hổ, tạm gọi là những tên làng kỳ dị</b>… <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Chuyện làng Trinh Tiết</span></b><br />
<br />
Trên đường vãn cảnh Chùa Hương, ngang qua xã Đại Hưng, huyện Mỹ Đức (Hà Nội), sẽ dễ dàng bắt gặp một cái cổng làng sơn vàng, mái cong. Cổng được xây dựng khá công phu và hoành tráng, trên cổng đắp hàng chữ to mang tên “Làng văn hóa Trinh Tiết”. <br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: white;">Dulichgo</span><br />
Lần đầu tiên khi thấy tên ngôi làng này, anh đồng nghiệp đi cùng tôi đã ôm bụng cười rũ rượi đến nỗi tí nữa thì va vào xe của người đi bên cạnh. Xã hội phong kiến xưa kia nặng về quan niệm “nam nữ thụ thụ bất thân” và rất coi thường phụ nữ, những công việc trọng đại ở làng xã “phàm” phụ nữ không được tham gia. Ấy thế mà cả mấy nghìn dân ở nơi này lại lấy chữ trinh tiết, những từ ngữ nhạy cảm về người con gái làm tên của làng mình.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn6MsRBQP692b9QLKmnW9XGDE6nFdqUI3R9IL5Prb3bRXy7nfSqenOixlIMgzcZXW6rs2nTDD-0MgXQqPpdrjtyY8o6_IxMpjkMcb49sJ1vAVv1ue5dY-HJBmMexKwawhoo4GJo7JPVMyN/s1600/408e6_C135306cdvlangtrinhtiet2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn6MsRBQP692b9QLKmnW9XGDE6nFdqUI3R9IL5Prb3bRXy7nfSqenOixlIMgzcZXW6rs2nTDD-0MgXQqPpdrjtyY8o6_IxMpjkMcb49sJ1vAVv1ue5dY-HJBmMexKwawhoo4GJo7JPVMyN/s1600/408e6_C135306cdvlangtrinhtiet2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Buồn cười vì lạ vậy thôi chứ đi tìm hiểu về gốc rễ việc đặt tên làng này mới thấy cũng khá thâm sâu. Theo người dân địa phương, làng vốn có tên là Bối Lang, sau đó lại đổi thành làng Sêu, nổi tiếng khắp vùng vì có nhiều cô gái xinh đẹp, dịu dàng, đảm đang. <br />
<br />
Tương truyền người mẹ của Thành Hoàng làng Triệu Quốc Bảo là một phụ nữ nhan sắc tuyệt trần. Sau khi sinh hạ con trai thì người chồng qua đời. Kể từ đó, bà ở vậy một mình thờ chồng nuôi con. Dung nhan xinh đẹp lại phải sớm chịu cảnh mẹ góa con côi nên trong làng có rất nhiều chàng trai giàu có đến ngỏ lời cầu hôn nhưng đều bị bà từ chối.<br />
Đến thế kỷ XI, khi Vua Lý Thánh Tông du thuyền trên sông Đáy và được người dân nơi đây kể cho nghe câu chuyện về người phụ nữ thủ tiết thờ chồng nuôi con thành tướng giỏi, Vua đã vô cùng xúc động. Nhà vua đã lập tức đổi tên làng Sêu thành làng Trinh Tiết.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b>Ngại ngùng làng Tè</b></span><br />
<br />
Tạm rời câu chuyện cảm động về làng Trinh Tiết, chúng ta ghé về làng Tè. Làng Tè nằm tại xã Song Vân, huyện Tân Yên, tỉnh Bắc Giang, cách trung tâm Thủ đô Hà Nội gần 80km. Không biết dụng ý của người xưa như thế nào nhưng hễ nói đến từ “Tè”, không ít người dễ liên tưởng đến “cái của không thể khoe”, hoặc hiểu là cái nhu cầu “giải quyết nỗi buồn” tất yếu mỗi ngày của con người.<br />
<br />
Khi giao du bên ngoài, được yêu cầu giới thiệu về quê quán của mình, nhiều người dân làng Tè có lẽ cũng ngượng ngùng khó nói. Về nguồn gốc tên làng, nữ Chủ tịch xã Song Vân lắc đầu không biết vì sao. Nghe đâu vì cái tên xấu quá nên người dân đã nhiều lần kiến nghị được đổi. Vậy nhưng chẳng hiểu thế nào, đến nay người làng Tè vẫn dùng tên cũ. Có lẽ nó đã gắn liền với tiềm thức, với cuộc sống của người dân mất rồi. Nhắc đến làng Tè, lại nhớ đến làng Hố Giải ở Chí Linh, Hải Dương.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Tự hào thôn Hành Lạc</b></span><br />
<br />
Một cái tên làng cũng thuộc dạng kỳ dị bậc nhất Việt Nam là thôn… Hành Lạc. Thôn Hành Lạc cách Thủ đô Hà Nội khoảng 40km. Thôn nằm trong địa phận thị trấn Như Quỳnh, huyện Văn Lâm, tỉnh Hưng Yên. Từ Hà Nội, đi qua cầu Thanh Trì hoặc cầu Long Biên sang đất Kiêu Kị của huyện Gia Lâm, làng Hành Lạc cách Kiêu Kị chưa đến hai cây số.<br />
<br />
Đến thôn Hành Lạc đúng là có nhiều chuyện khiến khách phải… ngất ngây. Đây là một thôn thuần nông nhất thị trấn Như Quỳnh với khoảng hơn 4.000 dân. <span style="color: white;">Dulichgo</span><br />

Xưa, người Hành Lạc sinh sống bằng nghề nấu rượu. Người thôn Lạc Đạo bên cạnh hay sang lấy rồi mang đi bán. Kể từ đó, khách hay nhắc đến rượu Lạc Đạo chứ ít ai biết nguồn gốc sản phẩm là do người Hành Lạc nấu.<br />
Lạ lùng hơn nữa, trước ở vùng này người dân còn có tục gọi tên con gái là… “đĩ”. Cứ một hai gọi “đĩ” ơi về ăn cơm, “đĩ” ơi về ngủ, “đĩ” ơi về tắm…<br />
<br />
Có một người bạn của ông phó thôn Hành Lạc từ miền Nam ra mua men rượu, khi đã cơm no rượu say, bạn trong Nam mới “tây tây” mà hỏi rằng: “Tôi đến lạ với làng các ông. Bao nhiêu cái tên hay không đặt, lại đi chọn cái tên Hành Lạc. Nghe sao mà nó tục. Nghe sao mà nó… gợi mấy nơi ở Hải Phòng”.<br />
<br />
“Người đen tối nên thấy cái gì cũng nghĩ đến điều đen tối” - ông trưởng thôn Hành Lạc vừa nói vui như vậy, vừa để cảnh cáo những người có ý nghĩ không tốt về cái tên đầy tự hào của làng. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjJrltLKGJA1YInQCuJRreq9384X8XFoGlHtlZIs9nvN4KybSAe-dq1Eg4NKlzbHIPoeuICPua7H2AMzSEyJ1hOqp2j2DJGgtzGlrB1065dg9Lj4lcqXeqXrJy0zH7qYz4wA_ix6i4Xyj4/s1600/69466918.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjJrltLKGJA1YInQCuJRreq9384X8XFoGlHtlZIs9nvN4KybSAe-dq1Eg4NKlzbHIPoeuICPua7H2AMzSEyJ1hOqp2j2DJGgtzGlrB1065dg9Lj4lcqXeqXrJy0zH7qYz4wA_ix6i4Xyj4/s1600/69466918.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Để minh chứng câu nói của mình, ông kể rõ ràng lịch sử ra đời tên làng mình: “Hành Lạc trước vốn là bãi bồi sông Hồng nhưng sau đó có bốn họ Nguyễn, Vũ, Ngô, Trần về đây lập nghiệp rồi đặt tên là trang Bình Lạc, sau đó lại đổi tên thành thôn Hòa Lạc, nghĩa là bốn họ cùng vui chung. Đến giai đoạn kháng chiến chống Mỹ, có lệnh phải đổi tên làng nên các cụ đã đổi từ Hòa Lạc thành Hành Lạc. Hành Lạc theo ý các cụ là đi trên đường vui”. Còn từ “đĩ” dùng gọi con gái xuất phát từ quan niệm gọi tên xấu nuôi con cho dễ của người xưa. <br />
<br />
Mỗi lần nghe một tên làng gợi những liên tưởng “nhạy cảm”, người viết bất giác nhớ câu nói của vị trưởng thôn Hành Lạc: “Người đen tối nên thấy cái gì cũng nghĩ đến điều đen tối”.<br />

Về Sa Đéc dạo phố đêm bên dòng Sa Giang thơ mộng, cùng thưởng thức lẩu cá bông lau; rồi đi Xẻo Quýt trải nghiệm thực tế các loại hình du lịch mùa nước nổi; đến Trà Sư khám phá rừng tràm vào buổi sớm mai; và dừng chân tại Tri Tôn để vui cùng lễ hội đua bò...<br />
Đó là lịch trình đầy thú vị được các “lead phượt” (người tổ chức) mời gọi “xế - ôm” (bạn đồng hành) vào dịp cuối tuần để thoả sức khám phá những vùng đất mới, tìm hiểu về văn hoá bản địa và nghỉ ngơi thư giãn, cũng như trang bị những kỹ năng sống cần thiết.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Xách ba lô… và đi</b><br />
<br />
Loay hoay với 2 ngày phép cùng 2 ngày nghỉ cuối tuần, chưa biết làm gì để xả “stress” cho những ngày căng óc dốc sức vì công việc, thì “duyên” đến. Trang cá nhân Facebook của anh “phượt thủ” - người đã từng đặt chân đến và khám phá những vùng đất của 63 tỉnh, thành trên đất nước Việt Nam - đăng tuyển “ôm” cho chuyến phượt cuối tuần khám phá các tỉnh miền Tây. Thế là, bấm số điện thoại xác nhận thông tin và chuẩn bị ngay hành trang lên đường.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Một chiếc ba lô gói ghém một số vật dụng cần dùng, và một cái máy ảnh, thế là… đi. Xuất phát từ Cà Mau, “con ngựa sắt” của anh phượt thủ bon bon theo cung đường định sẵn để kịp đến điểm hẹn vào cuối giờ chiều tận hưởng được không gian mát dịu, thơ mộng của dòng Sa Giang (Ðồng Tháp) khi những ánh đèn phố thị vừa toả sáng.<br />
<br />
Lần đầu tiên đi phượt, khá nhiều điều thắc mắc, anh phượt thủ tinh ý, phân bày một hơi: việc đầu tiên khi lên kế hoạch “phượt” là phải xác định thời gian dành cho chuyến đi để chọn lựa địa điểm dừng chân và phương tiện đi lại; giờ giấc tham quan, du lịch cũng phải hợp lý, linh động. Ði miền Tây thì phương tiện chủ yếu là xe máy nhằm tiết kiệm chi phí và tự do khám phá vùng đất nhiều kinh rạch, sông ngòi chằng chịt. Dân “phượt” đúng chất phải là “ăn bụi, ngủ bờ”, thường nhóm sẽ dừng chân tại các điểm có món ngon dân dã, đặc sản của vùng, ví dụ như chiều này khi đến TP Sa Ðéc (Ðồng Tháp) nhất định thưởng thức món hủ tiếu cực ngon; rồi thì sẽ ngủ tại một điểm nào đó trên cung đường chứ tuyệt nhiên không ngủ nhà nghỉ hay khách sạn.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMsliPINLzbyM3iMbVXDlLf1v9JU-8LHDdVSLE47tID36e-2URwoP-FrWvxXD3wlZHVYCA7tg9wMne2_402HEJLAMMzTWLhZEg3x_AC8xcBZIwF2xXa3lk6GdfFNThgqQJzd3B4fYgDRE/s1600/phuot1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="142" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMsliPINLzbyM3iMbVXDlLf1v9JU-8LHDdVSLE47tID36e-2URwoP-FrWvxXD3wlZHVYCA7tg9wMne2_402HEJLAMMzTWLhZEg3x_AC8xcBZIwF2xXa3lk6GdfFNThgqQJzd3B4fYgDRE/s1600/phuot1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Thấy “ôm” im lặng, anh “xế” cười khì tiếp lời, “ngủ bờ” nhưng trong phạm vi an toàn tuyệt đối với những tấm lều, võng được dựng lên giữa trời để tận hưởng cảm giác tự do, phóng khoáng. Người dân miền Tây rất nhiệt tình, hiếu khách, nhóm có thể xin tá túc tại nhà dân để buổi tối lại được hát hò, trò chuyện bên ly rượu nồng, nghe kể chuyện đời thường bình dị. Ðể đảm bảo sức khoẻ, phải nhớ mang theo thuốc chống muỗi, vắt khi đi rừng, hay khi đến các khu du lịch sinh thái.<br />
<br />
Cứ thế, những câu chuyện kể huyên thuyên, những “kinh nghiệm bỏ túi” được chuyền tai suốt dọc dài cung đường gần 200 km. Với những phượt thủ như anh thật đúng nghĩa với câu “Cuộc đời là những chuyến đi”, có lúc anh độc hành, khi thì đi nhóm phượt để thoả sức đam mê, chinh phục của người trẻ. Hết lên rừng, xuống biển, ra đảo, rồi chinh phục đỉnh núi, chỉ cần “xách ba lô… và đi”.<br />
<br />
<b>…Và những trải nghiệm thực tế</b><br />
<br />

Tụ họp bên dòng Sa Giang với đêm hẹn hò bên nồi lẩu cá thơm lừng, đoàn phượt đi từ TP Hồ Chí Minh gồm 9 xế, 8 ôm kết nối cùng xế - ôm Cà Mau lên kế hoạch cho hành trình dài hơn 500 km kế tiếp với những điểm đến đầy hấp dẫn: Chùa Lá Sen (Chùa Phước Kiển) - Khu di tích Xẻo Quýt (Ðồng Tháp) - Rừng tràm Trà Sư - An Giang (ngủ đêm tại rừng) - Lễ hội đua bò (Tri Tôn - An Giang) - Khu di tích lịch sử Ba Chúc (An Giang).<br />
<br />
Trong suốt hành trình, đoàn đã trải qua đủ mọi cảm giác thích thú khi đi phà qua những con sông chở nặng phù sa, bơi xuồng len lỏi dưới những tán rừng tràm, vi vu trên những con đường phẳng lì, đến những con đường làng đá lỏm chỏm và đất đỏ khói bụi mịt mù,… Tất cả được ghi lại là những bức ảnh đặc trưng của mỗi địa phương như: cảnh đời thường các chợ quê chòm hỏm, cảnh hoàng hôn trên sông, phong cảnh tại những địa điểm tham quan trên đường đi từ Bạc Liêu, Cần Thơ, Ðồng Tháp, An Giang, Kiên Giang,…<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Những cảm xúc thực sự không thể quên, khi có không ít những vấn đề phát sinh, với chút mạo hiểm, thêm "gia vị" cho chuyến đi. Khi đó đã gần 21 giờ đêm mà đoàn còn mò đường tắt về rừng tràm Trà Sư nghỉ chân buổi tối. Cũng chính vì đi tắt, nên lạc không biết. Chị “lead phượt” bảo, “5 phút nữa cổng vào rừng sẽ đóng, mọi người chốt xe, đi nhanh nhé!”. Không hiểu hỏi đường thế nào, xe dẫn đầu bỗng rẽ phải vào lối khác so với “thổ địa” địa phương chỉ dẫn, ai cũng nghĩ chắc lại đi tắt, nên theo luôn.<br />
<br />
Trời tối đen như mực, đường đất sình lầy, chỉ kịp nhận rõ 2 bên hoang vắng không nhà cửa, cứ thế đoàn nối đuôi nhau hơn 3 km, thì chị “lead phượt” thấy lạ, ra hiệu đoàn dừng lại hội ý, mới phát hiện đã bị Google Map “lừa”, bởi lẽ, đường vào thì có nhiều lối, hệ thống bản đồ mạng chỉ định hướng đi, còn cổng chính ở đâu thì phải người địa phương mới rõ. Cũng may là không tiến sâu hơn nữa, bởi đó là đường cùng. Thế là đoàn phải quay trở lại.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg733FsIG4C-hgJOQOVr4qhC-GRitkBpc3HhiF_Y3ROHVrzfjUqcM4BNOvtVDzW_gRTRCxhtcMaWFn_tKUSwbUFGIGCwR4zIQiZd2z7NOmcKtWcSQxFumybzpoq-qmG3S9bReaCH3UH-qo/s1600/phuot3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg733FsIG4C-hgJOQOVr4qhC-GRitkBpc3HhiF_Y3ROHVrzfjUqcM4BNOvtVDzW_gRTRCxhtcMaWFn_tKUSwbUFGIGCwR4zIQiZd2z7NOmcKtWcSQxFumybzpoq-qmG3S9bReaCH3UH-qo/s1600/phuot3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Lúc này anh xế trấn an, đã đi phượt thì chuyện lạc đường “như cơm bữa”. Hãy hỏi liên tục vài người, nhắm người nào là người dân bản địa hãy hỏi, vì có thể có người không rõ nhưng vẫn chỉ… nhiệt tình. Kinh nghiệm nữa là nếu đi phượt bằng xe máy, hãy chuẩn bị la bàn, tuy nhiên, không khuyến khích về miền Tây sử dụng, vì nó sẽ chỉ đường xuống sông, không biết đâu mà lần, kể cả GPS, Smart Phone hoặc Google Map cũng “bó tay”.<br />
<br />
Thử nghĩ, nếu lúc tối lạc đường mà xe bị xì lốp như lúc chiều khi từ Xẻo Quýt về Trà Sư thì dù có chuẩn bị chu đáo thế nào cũng “ngủ bờ” thiệt. Chỉ trong ngày, 3 xe liên tục xì lốp, nhưng không làm khó các chàng “phượt thủ”, chỉ tích tắc các anh đã lôi trong cốp xe đủ đồ nghề sửa chữa, nào là bơm hơi mi-ni, cả bộ dụng cụ vá xe, có cả vỏ xe mới toanh… Anh Vạn lý độc hành (nick Facebook) bảo, đi miền Tây cũng có chỗ vá, nhưng tự vá vẫn nhanh hơn, chứ đi những cung đường đèo, dốc, gập ghềnh, khó tìm chỗ vá nên chuẩn bị thế này sẽ tốt hơn. Một xe mà nằm lại là cả đoàn trễ và có khi phải bẻ cung đường hoặc cắt hẳn cung để đảm bảo chỗ dừng chân an toàn khi trời tối. Ðây được xem là một “kỹ năng mềm” đấy.<br />
<br />

Gần 1.000 cây số và những ký ức không thể nào quên. Mặc dù 3 ngày đi phượt không là nhiều để cả đoàn khám phá toàn bộ miền Tây, và dù bản thân cũng là người miền Tây, nhưng qua hành trình đó, thấy sao thêm yêu, thêm tự hào về mảnh đất, con người miền Tây với những nụ cười, những bữa ăn, những cuộc trò chuyện rôm rả.<br />
<br />
Những người bạn đồng hành đến từ rất nhiều miền quê cũng đã có những trải nghiệm về cuộc sống nơi miền sông nước. Mỗi người chọn cách chia sẻ lại các chuyến phượt của mình bằng một cách khác nhau. Có người về viết blog, viết sách miêu tả lại hành trình, có người tải ảnh sau chuyến đi lên Facebook, Zalo, nhưng riêng người viết đã có một câu chuyện dài ngày về một vùng miền Tây sông nước qua những bức ảnh đẹp.<br />
<br />
Hành trình kết thúc, vẫn nhớ nhung buổi sớm tinh mơ, gió thổi phất phơ trên những cánh sen hồng ở rừng tràm Trà Sư, những con đường quanh co ngập tràn hoa dại trong các xóm làng về với Xẻo Quýt, nhớ những hàng thốt nốt dưới ánh hoàng hôn cứ lập lờ in bóng dưới những cánh đồng lúa xanh bạt ngàn…<br />

<b><br /></b>
The Son Doong Expedition Tour 2017 has been sold on the website of Oxalis Adventure Tours - the sole operator - at a cost of 3,000 USD per person. The five-day and four-night tour is available for a maximum of ten people during January-August.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tourists will have to cross over 50km of mountain and forest, with complex terrain, steep slopes, deep gorges, and wide rivers. Therefore, they must use supporting tools to overcome these challenges.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most impressively, participants will take on a thrilling zip line to pass a path of over 80m to enter the cave.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is considered the most adventurous tour in Quang Binh at present. The tour requires a team of 22 porters and two cooks, five safety assistants, one cave expert, a tour guide, and two forest rangers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Son Doong Cave is more than 200m wide, 150m high, and approximately 9km long. It was believed to be formed 2-5 million years ago and discovered by a local resident in 1991.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2009, scientists from the British Cave Research Association prepared the cave for limited public access after surveying the area.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its caverns lie in a jungle and a river, and the cave is large enough to fit a 40-storey skyscraper inside. It was named the largest cave in the world by the British Cave Research Association.</div>

<br />
Stretching the international border between Vietnam and China, it has been a natural demarcation between the two for long. The waterfall is also listed among the largest along a national border.<br />
Located in Dam Thuy commune, Trung Khanh district, the waterfall is fed by Quay Son River rising from China. The river flows into Vietnam and reaches Dam Thuy commune at Ban Gioc village. Here, the flow divides into several branches and lowers its flow to create Ban Gioc waterfall.<br />

<br />
After the tragic death of his mother and two sons when US bombs hit his house, Ho Van Thanh, a soldier, panicked and held his one-year-old son Ho Van Lang and ran into the jungle. He lived in the forest for 40 years until August 7, 2013.<br />
<br />
When they were rescued, Thanh was 81 and Lang was 41. They were living in a 2sq.m thatch hut on an ancient tree on the peak of A Pon mountain.<br />
<br />
Mr. Ho Van Tri, Thanh’s son, said that according to his relatives, in 1972 his father, a soldier, was stationed near his home. One day, Thanh heard the bombing so he quickly ran home. But his home was in rubble and his mother and two older sons had died.<br />
<br />
"Facing a great loss, my father panicked. He held my brother Loan, over one year old at that time, to run into the forest. At that time I was an infant. Until the age of 12 I followed my uncle to seek my father and my brother in the forest. They lived in the hut on a tree," said Tri.<br />
<br />
After that meeting, twice a year Tri carried salt, kerosene and several knives to the forest for his father, even though his father and brother did not realize hewas their relative. Every time entering the forest, Tri slept along streams. He did not dare sleep in the hut with his father and brother because of panic.<br />
<br />
According to Tri, the villagers repeatedly went to the forest to advise his father and brother to come home, but whenever they saw strangers, they ran very fast into the jungle to hide.<br />
<br />
To survive in the wilderness, the two men lived on the tree to avoid predators. They also tried to keep a fire and went to neighboring upland fields to seek rice, corn, sesame, sugarcane and tobacco seedlings to plant around their hut.<br />
<br />
The villagers sometimes brought clothes, pots, axes and knives for Thanh but he kept these things in his hut, not using them. Every day the father and son wore only a loincloth braided with bark and made homemade tools for pounding rice and cassava into flour. They also created bayonets, broadswords, arrows, traps, and axes to hunt wild animals.<br />
<br />
To overcome the cold winter, Thanh and his son lit fires in the hut, and smoke in the hut warmed the body. Checking the hut, the villagers found a variety of wild meat, including dried mouse meat and tens of large bamboo tubes filled with reserve food such as rice, sesame and chili. They also kept teeth and gall of many species of animals to use as medicine and jewelry.<br />
<br />
Returning back to their village, the father and son had a new home while the father enjoyed preferential government policies for a war invalid.<br />
<br />
Living in the community, the two people could not completely integrate into normal life. Thanh sat pensively in his house and rarely talked to anyone.<br />
<br />
Tri said even though Lang was happy to see his family again, he missed the forest.<br />
<br />
"He was used to live in the trees so everything here is new and strange to him. Sometimes, he'll go to the forest from morning to sunset no matter if it's raining or not," Tri said.<br />
<br />
Lang started to get used to the new life two years later but he still didn't know what to do during the days. Thinking that he had become a burden, Lang decided to go into the forest and find a place for farming. Sometimes, when the rice runs out, he will return home for a while.<br />
<br />
This makes him happier because he can bring home his potatoes or cassava. Since Lang follows nomadic farming, he recently moved the farms closer to home. Lang looked ecstatic when he had guests. It has been a long time since he met so many people. Lang is still sourcing his own meals like going out at night to find frogs or eels.<br />
<br />
Lang said he also wanted to have a family of his own but worried that "I'm too old now, no woman wants me."<br />
<br />
Lang's father, Ho Van Thanh, only sits in one place because of mental illness. When he was rescued, the family brought him to hospital immediately but doctors said not only did he have mental illness but also lots of age-related health problems. He lost one eye in the forest and has kidney failure which can't be treated anymore. He is provided with VND600,000 (VND27,000) a month pension.<br />
Lang recently built a hut near his field to live alone. He said he did not want to live in the brick house in the village because he was unfamiliar with it and he preferred the forest.<br />
Lang’s life is very simple, and not very different from his previous life.<br />
<br />

<br />
International and Vietnamese experts are debating over restoration work on the 400-year-old Chua Cau Bridge in the central ancient town of Hoi An.<br />
<br />
In order to restore the bridge properly, most experts at a recent conference think it should be dismantled, said Nguyen Chi Trung, a senior conservation official in Hoi An.<br />
<br />
The solution has received mixed reactions. Historian Vo Ha has warned that dismantling the bridge will make people feel "it's not the same", while architect Le Thanh Vinh said it should be implemented only as a last resort with careful planning by conservation experts.<br />

Endowed with all-year-round temperate weather, romantic pine tree forests, awe-inspiring flower fields, and French boulevards and villas from the colonial period, Da Lat has long been touted as the City of Love and Eternal Spring.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Da Lat’s distinctive mild climate along with misty weather constitutes a sense of ethereal beauty, making this small city the ideal destination for escaping vacations away from the busy metropolises.<br />
On the natural side, Langbiang Mountain, Xuan Huong Lake, Doi Thong Hai Mo and Valley of Love top the list. On the cultural and historical side, Bao Dai Summer Palace, Domaine de Marie Church and Truc Lam Monastery are the treasures that hold the rich history and culture of Da Lat and the region.<br />
<br />
With its year-round cool weather, Da Lat supplies temperate agricultural products for Vietnam. Da Lat is also known as an area for scientific research in the fields of biotechnology and nuclear physics.<br />

But it’s not easy to catch a glimpse of the mesmerizing scene: you need to be on the mountain at the right time of the day during the right season of the year. The best time to “hunt clouds” in Ta Xua is from December to March, and if you are lucky enough, you'll be drinking some tea above a blanket of clouds.<br />
<br />
There are two ways to access Ta Xua, which is located in Bac Yen Commune, Bac Yen District in the northern province of Son La. One starts from Tram Tau (Yen Bai Province), the other from Bac Yen (Son La). Be it the former or the latter, none will take you less than three days.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">On Ram Thang Bay, many families, shops and companies in HCM City worship wondering souls. This was also a money-making chance for “professional thieves of worship items”. The “robbers” are hundreds of young people and children who flock to the areas where Chinese families live (Districts 5, 6 and 8) with baskets to snatch small change. Normally, after worshipping wondering souls, small change is thrown to the road while food is delivered to passers-by.</td></tr>

The pearl of Quang Nam floats 18 kilometers to the east of Cua Dai Beach in the town of Hoi An. Rarely does a trip to the ancient lack a day or two spared to pay homage to Cu Lao Cham. ‘Cu lao’ means island in Vietnamese, and in the case of Cu Lao Cham, it's several small islands. The place boasts long beaches lying serenely by the crystal clear waters and coral reefs just two meters underwater that render diving for sightseeing here all the rage.<br />

About 20 kilometers to the southwest of Hoi An, the two limestone caves at Tien An Commune, Tien Phuoc District have been around for millions of years. The first one is called Dong Thien (Sky Cave), the second Dong Nang Tien (Fairy Cave). The former lies at the foothill, making an easy spot for visitors while the latter is hundreds of meters deep, boasting a zig-zag path running deep down.<br />

The sacred land of My Son (as Vietnamese call it) is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes of all beholders. Moss covered brick towers have been standing guard here since the height of the Cham dynasty 600 years ago. Though left neglected for generations, the patterns engraved on them can still be felt by the visitors eager for something other than just beach and seafood on a trip to a coastal land.<br />

Ba Be lake, which means ‘Three Lakes’ in English, is located in the northern province of Bac Kan, about 240 kilometers northwest of the capital Hanoi. Surrounded by limestone cliffs, Vietnam’s largest natural freshwater lake stretches about eight kilometers north to south and reaches depths of 35 meters. It takes visitors at least two days to explore the lake, not to mention the nearby caves and a spectacular waterfall further upstream.<br />

No one knows for sure when and why the lake was called Tuyen Lam, but many think that Tuyen stands for stream and Lam stands for forest. Tuyen Lam is a place where water and trees meet. Located in the Central Highland province of Lam Dong, where the dry season lasts up to six months, the lake is full of water all year round. If viewed from the cable hanger above, Tuyen Lam Lake is as a miniature ocean with each island oasis on the lake representing a continent. Here tourists have a chance to enjoy the cool highlands air, explore the cultural patterns of ethnic groups and join in exciting activities like elephant riding.<br />

<b>The move comes after a recent crackdown on illegal Chinese tour guides.</b><br />
<br />
The popular resort town of Nha Trang in the central province of Khanh Hoa has issued a code of conduct warning tourists against spreading false information that could taint its image.<br />
<br />
According to the code, which took effect on August 17, visitors to Nha Trang are asked not to violate laws or provide false information about the city's history.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Guests are also required to respect regional culture and customs, protect the environment, drink in moderation and not to waste food at all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants.<br />
<br />
The code also regulates authorities, travel agencies and locals, and it is being translated into different languages to distribute to foreign tourists.<br />
<br />
In March the town authorities published a list, updated daily, of establishments that overcharge or provide substandard services.<br />
<br />
In June the Khanh Hoa provincial administration also instructed its tourism department to stop the illegal operation of Chinese tour guides arriving in Nha Trang on tourist visas.<br />
<br />
In the first seven months of this year, 2.7 million tourists arrived in Khanh Hoa, with nearly 630,000 foreigners (an increase by around 28 percent on-year), according to Khanh Hoa’s Department of Tourism.<br />
<br />
The central city of Da Nang last month also published booklets asking Chinese tourists to behave and confirmed that it will not refrain from expelling people who fail to do so.<br />

Before buses and taxis took over the streets, Saigon of the 1960s was dominated by three-wheeled Lambro cabs, locally known as ‘xe lam’.<br />

Lambro was a line of scooters from the renowned Italian Lambretta. In comparison to small horse-drawn wagons that had been extensively used in the Mekong Delta in previous decades, it proved to be more convenient and comfortable for commuters.<br />

It was the main means of public transport that could carry up to 10 passengers sitting on 2 benches at the back. The driver’s cabin had a canvas top to protect them from the sun and the rain. The front seats by the driver’s side could be occupied by at least two passengers.<br />

A lam driver at the time could earn enough money to support an entire family. But the vehicle itself was not cheap: 30 taels of gold (1.125 kg) each. It was also useful for transporting goods.<br />

In its heyday, the special noise 'xe lam' made could be heard in every corner of the southern metropolis. In 1968, there were 3,200 Lambros in Saigon alone, out of 17,000 running all over the southern region.<br />

With an eye on the afterlife, resting places are of the utmost importance to Vietnamese people, and past monarchs with a nearly unlimited supply of money didn't hold back on their journeys to the underworld. "Life is temporary, death is permanent," was the reason many decided to build splendid and sophisticated tombs. Rulers of the past put a ridiculously huge amount of effort into creating a tomb befitting of their position. Feng Shui was employed to find the best rsting place, while money and thousands of hours of labor were poured in to remind the next generations of how important out rulers were, leaving a lasting legacy.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh, located on the slopes of Chau Chu Mountain, is about 10 kilometers from central Hue. It took 11 years to build, starting in 1920. The overall construction of the tomb is an emerging rectangular structure leaning against the mountain. The significant feature of the tomb, which distinguishes it from other royal tombs in Hue, lies in the subtle blend between Vietnamese and Western architectural styles. It is said that Emperor Khai Dinh had construction materials imported from France, Japan and China.</td></tr>
