For more than a decade, the 82-year-old claims he has packed and repacked a treasure chest, sprinkling in gold dust and adding hundreds of rare gold coins, gold nuggets and other artifacts, and buried it in the mountains somewhere north of Santa Fe. (AP Photo/Jeri Clausing) For more than a decade, he packed and repacked his treasure chest, sprinkling in gold dust and adding hundreds of rare gold coins and gold nuggets. Pre-Columbian animal figures went in, along with prehistoric "mirrors" of hammered gold, ancient Chinese faces carved from jade and antique jewelry with rubies and emeralds. Forrest Fenn was creating a bounty, and the art and antiquities dealer says his goal was to make sure it was "valuable enough to entice searchers and desirable enough visibly to strike awe." Occasionally, he would test that premise, pulling out the chest and asking his friends to open the lid. "Mostly, when they took the first look," he says, "they started laughing," hardly able the grasp his amazing plan. Was Fenn really going to give this glistening treasure trove away? Three years ago, he lay two of his most beloved pieces of jewelry in the chest: a turquoise bracelet and a Tairona and Sinu Indian necklace adorned with exotic jewels. At the bottom of the chest, in an olive jar, he placed a detailed autobiography, printed so small a reader will need a magnifying glass. After that, he says, he carted the chest of loot, now weighing more than 40 pounds, into the mountains somewhere north of Santa Fe and left it there. Next, Fenn self-published a memoir, "The Thrill of the Chase," distilling the autobiography and, intriguingly, including a poem that he says offers clues to lead some clever — or lucky — treasure hunter to the bounty. It wasn't long before word of the hidden trove got out, and the publicity has caused a mini-gold rush in northern New Mexico. But it has also set off a debate: Has Fenn truly hidden the treasure chest or was this, for the idiosyncratic, publicity-loving 82-year-old who loves to tell tales, just another way to have fun, a great caper to bolster his legacy? One friend, Michael McGarrity, an author and former Santa Fe County sheriff's deputy, acknowledges it could be "a private joke," though he believes "Forrest has certainly buried something." If it was the treasure he saw, well, "it really is quite an astonishing sight to see." There certainly seems to be no shortage of believers, including Doug Preston, whose novel "The Codex" about a notorious treasure hunter and tomb robber who buries himself and his treasure as a final challenge to his three sons, is loosely based on Fenn's story. "I've seen the treasure. I've handled it. He has had it for almost as long as I've known him. It's real. And I can tell you that it is no longer in his vault," says Preston. "I am 100 percent sure that he really did go out and hide this thing. I am actually surprised that anyone who knows him would think he was blowing hot air. It is just not his personality. He is not a tricky, conspiratorial, slick or dishonest person at all." Fenn says his main goal is to get people, particularly children, away from their texting devices and looking for adventure outdoors. But probably few are having more fun with the whole adventure than Fenn himself, a self-described schmoozer and endless flirt who is reveling in what he says are 13,000 emails from treasure hunters — not to mention 18 marriage proposals. "His net worth is much higher than what he put in the bounty," says Preston, guessing the treasure's value is in the million-dollar range. "He is having way more than $1 million worth of fun with this." ___ It all began, Fenn says, more than 20 years ago, when he was diagnosed with cancer and given just a few years to live. That's when he decided to buy the treasure chest and fill it with some of his favorite things. "Nobody knows where it was going to be but me," he recalls thinking. He revised the clue-poem's wording several times over the years, and made other changes in his plans. For a time, he thought of having his bones with the treasure chest, though how that might have been accomplished is unclear. "But then," Fenn says with a mischievous twinkle in his blue eyes, "I ruined the story by getting well." In "The Thrill of the Chase," he lays out his unusual rags-to-riches story while sharing memories of his favorite adventures and mischief-making. From the outset, the book tells readers the recollections "are as true to history as one man can average out that truth, considering the fact that one of my natural instincts is to embellish." Average out the truth? Instinct to embellish? Well, one thing is certain: He certainly knows how to tell a tale. Fenn was raised in Temple, Texas, where his father was a school principal, according to the book. The family was poor, he says, only eating meat on Sundays if there was a chicken to kill. But, Fenn writes, they spent every summer in Yellowstone National Park, where young Forrest and his brother Skippy launched many an adventure. He describes the brothers trying to fly a homemade plane and tells about being left on the side of the road after an argument during a road trip. Fenn never went to college, although he did attend classes at Texas A&M University with his friends for a short time, before it was discovered he was not a registered student, the book says. He married his high school sweetheart, Peggy Jean Proctor, and spent nearly two decades in the Air Force, including much-decorated service as a fighter pilot in Vietnam. After returning to Texas, he, his wife and two daughters moved to Santa Fe, where, over time, he became one of this artistic enclave's best known and most successful gallery owners. Details on how a man with no art background made such a dramatic but successful transition are scarce in his book. When asked to elaborate, he says simply, "I never went to college. I never went to business school. I never learned the rules that make businesses fail." Those who know him credit his love of people. As an art dealer, he hosted a virtual who's who of the rich and famous at his gallery and guest house, including Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Sam Shephard, Jessica Lange and Michael Douglas, to name a few. Even at 82, he still throws one hell of a party, friends say, mixing up the guest list with the many actors, artists, writers and political leaders who live in or frequent this artistic mountain hideaway. Perhaps the biggest misconception about Fenn — whom some locals refer to as Santa Fe's Indiana Jones — is that he was a treasure hunter himself. "Forrest is a trader," said Dan Nietzel, a professional treasure hunter who has searched for Fenn's treasure. "He traded for these things. I think people think he went around digging all these things up." But there are some intangibles Fenn has spent his life searching out. "I love mysteries. I love adventures," he says. As a teen, scouring Yellowstone every summer, he almost led friend Donnie Joe to an early demise when they got lost on horseback in Montana's Gallatin National Forest trying to retrace the steps of Lewis and Clark, according to his memoir. "Donnie got in a serious swivet and wouldn't speak to me for a while, except to say that our unfortunate adventure was ill-conceived, dumb thought out, and I was over-rated like my horse," he writes. His book moves on to the Vietnam War, describing his Air Force service, his combat missions and even his survival after being shot down. While it's sometimes hard to know whether Fenn's zest for "embellishment" adds to his stories, military records emphatically back this chapter. They confirm that as a fighter pilot he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal, silver and bronze stars, a purple heart and other medals. In one engagement, enemy fire shattered the canopy of his jet, cutting his face, and yet he continued to attack, the records show. In another, he showed "outstanding heroism," making repeated low strafing passes to draw fire until wounded forces on the ground could be rescued. He rose to the rank of major. Fenn also describes himself as an amateur archaeologist. In the mid-1980s, he bought a ranch near Santa Fe that includes the 57-acre ancient pueblo of San Lazaro, where he has spent years digging up bones, pottery and other artifacts that he keeps in a room off his garage. And while he says he made his fortune selling paintings, his love is clearly of antiquities. His personal study, which was designed to house a 17-by-28-foot Persian rug from the late 1800s, is filled from floor to ceiling with valuables, ranging from gilded fore-edge books to war memorabilia, a brandy bottle left in his guest house by Kennedy Onassis, and even what he says is Sitting Bull's pipe. The Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2006 raided his home as part of an antiquities theft probe, but Fenn was never charged. ___ "Begin it where warm waters halt And take it in the canyon down, Not far, but too far to walk. Put in below the home of Brown." That's part of the poem of clues to the treasure's location, which Fenn published in his memoir three years ago. News reports have created a run on the book. Based on the more than 9,000 emails Fenn says he has received just in the past few months, he estimates thousands of treasure hunters will descend on northern New Mexico this spring. Dana Ortega, director of sales and marketing at Santa Fe's Inn and Spa at Loretto, said the hotel, which offers a special package starting at $300 that includes a copy of Fenn's now hard-to-find book, has seen a huge spike in interest. "About 50 people came in on the package last year," she said. "Now our phones are ringing off the hook. ... So many people have the book so they are not all doing the package, but they call and want to stay here." The local Chamber of Commerce should "give Forrest an award for increasing tourism," says McGarrity, his friend. He talks of being stopped on the street by a man in a big truck with Texas plates, pulling an all-terrain vehicle and asking if he knew where Forrest Fenn lived. "Are you hunting for treasure?" McGarrity asked. "You betcha!" the Texan said. But the publicity has also raised safety concerns. A few weeks ago, a woman from Texas, drawn by a network report about the treasure, got lost searching the mountains near Los Alamos. She spent the night in the rugged terrain of Bandelier National Monument and was walking out the next day when rescuers found her. But the case prompted officials to warn searchers to be properly prepared for the outdoors. They also reminded the public it's illegal to dig, bury an item or use a metal detector on federal lands. Also a concern: Fenn says he has had people ringing the buzzer at his gate and trying to follow him when he leaves. For the most part, though, he says people reaching out to him are just trying to convince or trick him into giving more clues. So far, the best anyone seems to have gotten out of him is that the treasure is more than 300 miles west of Toledo, not in Nevada, and more than 5,000 feet above sea level "in the Rocky Mountains. (Santa Fe, whose Sangre de Cristo mountains mark the start of the Rockies, is 7,260 feet above sea level.) But he emphasizes two things: He never said the treasure was buried, and he never said it was in Santa Fe, or even New Mexico for that matter. Nietzel says the most common place the clues about "where warm waters halt" first lead people is to Eagle Nest Lake, about 100 miles north of Santa Fe, because it has a dam that holds back warm water and is known for its brown trout. Others are sure it must be in Yellowstone, because of Fenn's history there and his deep knowledge of the park. Nietzel says he has made 29 searches for the treasure in six states, and he plans to resume his efforts when it gets a little warmer in the mountains. Another friend of Fenn's, Santa Fe jeweler Marc Howard, says he has made about 20 searches, and is "still trying to match my wits against a seemingly impossible poem." The scheme is similar to a treasure hunt launched in 1979 by the author of a British children's book, "Masquerade," which had clues to the location of an 18-carat jeweled golden hare hidden somewhere in Britain. That rabbit was found in 1982, although it was later revealed it was found with the help of the author's former live-in girlfriend. Fenn, who lives with his wife in a gated estate near the center of town, insists he is the only person who knows where his treasure is hidden. Asked what his two daughters, Kelly and Zoe, think of him hiding part of their and their seven kids' inheritance, he replies only that "they've been saying for years that I am crazy." He doubts they have any interest in finding it, but says he wouldn't be surprised if one of two grandsons has gone looking for it. And he is ambivalent about whether the chest is found soon, or even in his lifetime. But "when a person finds that treasure chest, whether it's tomorrow or 10,000 years from now and opens the lid, they are going to go into shock. It is such a sight."

Not so long ago I found myself in need of a day away from the noise and commotion of Hanoi. I asked around for recommendations for somewhere interesting to spend a few hours; a quiet place a bit off the beaten track. Talking to my Vietnamese friends it would seem that there are thousands of such destinations around Hanoi, each more unmissable than the last. After some deliberation, I settled on a trip to the 900-year-old Chua Thay Pagoda. Although well-known locally, it's yet to be widely discovered by the country's foreign population. I was told that the place was peaceful, historical and a little quirky — the perfect mix for a Vietnamese day trip. The drive to Chua Thay, a 30km or so motorbike ride down the dusty and bleak Thang Long highway, doesn't offer a great incentive to make the trip, especially on a chilly Hanoi day (although an elusive but apparently existent bus is said to head in that direction from Kim Ma). The destination ultimately rewards hardy travellers as it both lives up to its promise and still manages a surprise or two. Lying at the foot of Sai Son Mountain in Quoc Oai District, the surrounding scenery is reminiscent of Ninh Binh, with the same rocky and forested outcrops looming out of the misty haze. The surrounding town, on a sunny day, is what the term 'picture postcard' was made for, but be warned — it looks a little less enchanting on an overcast afternoon. Of Puppets and Kings Chua Thay comprises of three buildings located parallel to each other. The main pagoda is the biggest, and lies in front of a large and still lake, with the two smaller temples to either side. Water puppetry hails from this part of the country, and performances take place on the water here at certain times of the year. Houses with colourful front doors surround the lake, and alongside the ancient buildings they look like they belong in a film set — perhaps a Buddhist reimagining of Lord of the Rings. In summertime monks live and study in the pagoda, waking up daily at 4am to pray. In the winter it is often deserted, except during Tet, when people come to worship here and see the pagoda, which has long been the subject of art, song and traditional legends. The figure behind all this is Tu Dao Hanh, a monk who lived in the area during the 11th Century. According to legend, Hanh was a humble and generous man who was very giving to the poor. He invented water puppetry to mark the lives of the rural population. Before his death he told the monks that he would die in the mountains and requested that if his remains begin to smell and decompose he should be left there, but if instead they should give off a nice aroma then his body should be taken to Chua Thay and be preserved — it is said that the remains of Hanh are still entombed in Chua Thay. He was later regarded as a saint, and Buddhists believe he was reincarnated first as a teacher and then later as a king from the Ly Dynasty (who repopularised puppetry to celebrate). Statues of the three incarnations can be seen in the pagoda. One reincarnation of a soul into another human body is very unusual in Buddhism, and two is remarkable. So this story is believed to show just how saintly Hanh was; Chua Thay even goes by the name Thien Phuc Tu, or 'Pagoda of the Heavenly Blessing'. High Temple Having explored the pagoda at length with its imposing statues and shrines sat atop the usual offerings of choco pies and Vietnamese snacks, I ventured into the cold and braved a climb up the steep mountain steps to explore another temple higher up, sat above a huge cave. Aggressive roosters strutted along the rocks, their feathers flying around madly as they fought each other, occasionally tumbling into my path. Adventurous visitors should take a look inside the large cave, which is said to contain the bones of Vietnamese soldiers who fought in the American War. This should only be attempted on a dry day though, as access is via steep rocks which are treacherous after rain. Tours of the pagoda and mountain can be arranged in the town below, and will provide a more thorough explanation of the pagoda's unique history and importance. If you can speak some Vietnamese it is also interesting to stop and have a chat with the head monk, who is happy to share information about its history and the lives of Tu Dao Hanh. A visit to Chua Thay provides a refreshing escape from the bustle of Hanoi and helps broaden cultural horizons, too. It offers something memorable and a little different, and is guaranteed to inspire further day trips to some of Hanoi's 'thousands' of lesser known places of interest. Getting There Follow Nguyen Chi Thanh and then Tran Duy Hung until you get to the Thang Long Highway heading out to Hoa Lac. Travel down the highway for about 20km. The turning off to Chua Thay is on the right hand side close to Quoc Oai.

National park land used as collateral for forest protection project funding

Các bạn vui lòng liện hệ hoặc book tour online để có giá tốt nhất nhé It has recently become public that the director of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park used the park as collateral for a loan to develop a forest protection project. Land use right certificates from Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park were used as collateral Luu Minh Thanh, the park's director, admitted that he has handed over 11 land use right certificates of the park, which has been recognised as a world natural heritage site, to the Hanoi-based Forestry Development Limited Company to seek funds for forest protection for over two years. Thanh made that decision without any discussion or informing other leaders at the park. Nguyen Xuan Quang, Vice Chairman of People's Committee of Quang Binh Province, where the park is located, said he was also unaware of the incident. According to Thanh, he had handed over 11 land use right certificates of the park with a combined area of 122,864 hectares to Tran Thi Truong from Quang Binh Province's Dong Hoi City, who claimed to represent the company. He said that Truong promised to help find funds for the park to realise forest protection's project worth VND25 million (USD1,192) per hectare. He, however, didn't know what Truong had used the documents for. A receipt proving the handover of the park's documents "To date, we've yet to get fund from the partner. They said it's difficult to get source funds due to the economic downturn," Thanh noted. Tran Thi Truong admitted all the facts were accurate. She however emphasised that she only had relationships with local officials and foreign partners but didn't represent any company. Truong said that the funds she promised to get for the park would come from the government as part of a national project to grow five million hectares of forests nationwide. She clarified that the part would get VND20 million (USD954.2) per hectare instead of VND25 million Thanh had claimed as VND5 million (USD238.5) would be granted to those who were working to seek the funding. "As I'm from Quang Binh, I've tried to help my hometown. I've refused a lot of proposals to find funding for projects at a district level but just agreed to help big projects. Apart from Phong Nha – Ke Bang, I've helped get funding for others parks like Bu Dang in Binh Duong Province and Ho Ke Go in Ha Tinh Province," Truong confirmed. She refused to name her domestic and foreign partners, claiming it was a sensitive issue, revealing that most of them were government officials. Tran Thi Truong said she has various relationships with high-ranking officials She added that the park would get the promised funding by the end of this month. However, Ngo Tu Hoc from Hanoi municipal People's Court said if a group uses land use right certificates as collateral for loans, it was necessary to get the agreement of all related people before making any decisions on such a use of the assets. Dang added that those who are responsible for keeping common assets could face legal action in cases where the assets were lost.

Miracle mum puts autism in the spotlight

Then he takes a breath and begins to play, his hands dancing over the ivory keys. Hieu plays with his grandmother at his house He speaks conversationally over the sound of the music without turning back or looking downwards at his fingers. "I play this piece everyday. I call it Love." His daily music performances (in which he also performs on the flute, guitar and harmonica) give him a platform to express himself in the clearest way he knows how. Hieu has autism, a condition described by scientists as a developmental disorder affecting the brain's normal development of social and communication skills. With the endless support of his mother, Hieu is making progresses in overcoming what is incorrectly misunderstood by many in the country as a "disability". Associate Professor Nguyen Thi Hoang Yen, deputy director of the Vietnam Institute of Educational Sciences, says that the number of children diagnosed with autism in Vietnam is on the increase. Her latest statistics show that the figure rose by 50 times between 2000 and 2007. Lauren Elder, an assistant director at Autism Speaks, a US-based NGO, said that scientists generally agree that about 1-2 per cent of the global population is affected by autism, judging from available data. According to experts this means that one in every 88 children in Vietnam has autism. Hieu's mother Nguyen Mai Anh recalls that when he was about six months old, she found him different from other babies who regularly cried out or burst into laughter. Her son showed no such reactions to the world around him. "I felt my baby had no feelings and no response to sound and images. He was unable to babble as a one year old and he had no interest in playing with toys," she says. "My heart was heavy with worry." Anh took her son to the Hanoi-based National Paediatrics Hospital for a check-up. They found no problem and suggested that he was just a little slower at speaking than others. It was the beginning of a long and tough road for Anh. At that time doctors in the country had little knowledge about autism and could not diagnose it early on. Road of patience Anh finally had a stroke of luck when by chance she came across an encyclopedia about children's conditions which mentioned a developmental disorder matching Hieu's symptoms. She took him to a neurologist who finally confirmed a diagnosis of autism. "We finally knew what the problem was but the disorder was too new for them to prescribe any treatment for him," she remembers. Refusing to give up, Anh started researching autism and travelled to meet the family of a boy who had received treatment for the condition for over 10 years in many countries. Later she also found a class in which an American mother who had successfully treated her child shared her knowledge. In those years Anh accompanied her son everywhere. She created colourful flashcards and other visual aids to teach him about his surroundings and created imaginative short stories so that he could learn conversational sentences. Hieu's learning accelerated incredibly until it took her just two days to teach him things that before would have taken weeks. He soon learned to express his needs to others without crying like he used to. Lauren Elder says parents play a crucial role in autism treatment, and if they receive training about intervention techniques they can have a positive impact on their children's behaviour and development as they grow up. While therapists may see a child a few hours a week, children with autism require intensive attention which is best provided by family members, she says. After several months of teaching him alone at home, Anh sent her child to a kindergarten and also hired an expert to tutor him for one hour every day. At the age of five years old, he could speak fluently. Elder says that this kind of team approach is required in order for the child to reach their potential, and both parents and teachers should be involved. When he was seven years old, Hieu attended a mainstream school, but he failed to keep up with his peers. After a year, Anh joined with five other mothers to form a special class for their autistic children. They drafted out the content of textbooks on their own based on the interest, personalities and level of their children and three professional teachers were hired. When, four years later, Hieu began to pursue an interest in music, he left the class to devote his time to this. "Music is the best way for him to interact with others and integrate into society. When people see him play, they do not even recognise his so-called 'disability,'" Anh says. Experts agree Hieu is lucky. Many other autistic children his age shut down their door to the outside world as they were never allowed to develop in the manner that they required. Hanoian Nguyen Hong Van, 43, says: "I wish I could turn back the clock to start again with the intervention and treatment for my 16-year-old son." Van's son, who has been sent to boarding treatment centres since he was seven years old, is now unable to speak or do anything by himself. She detected his unusual symptoms when he was two years old but was too impatient to follow even the simplest measures recommended by doctors, such as teaching him to babble. "We felt tired of his situation all the time. We let things pass by." At the centres he also did not receive any specialist treatment because they said it was too much of a time commitment. "No one is more important than the parents for helping their autistic children," Van now acknowledges sadly. "I wish we had had more patience." Now, however, with every year that passes there is more and more support for parents, with 100 centres for autistic children currently open in Hanoi. Anh is optimistic about the future. "Parents must not give up. They just need to find the time to be with their children. Their sons and daughters are precious stones with a scratch. They need to fix this and shape them as perfectly as possible."

Các điểm tham quan như chùa Thiên Mụ, lăng Tự Đức, Lăng Minh Mạng, Lăng Khải Định Many construction workers in Hanoi have been using old shipping containers as residences while working on the building site. Large container-homes often accommodate up to 20 workers, while smaller ones will fit between five and six people. During the winter they can work quite well as temporary shelter, but when the summer months arrive the heat inside can become oppressive. Le Van Thuat a worker at a construction site in Me Tri Commune, Thanh Hoa Province, said, "Using shipping containers for homes is a way to cut costs, as they are cheaper than setting up tents. When we switch locations we just have to move the houses by crane." In the past workers used water to cool the containers before going to sleep, but since some have installed insulation and even windows.

Consecutive earthquakes at Song Tranh 2 Hydropower Plant have seriously affected local people According to Le Quang Hung, Department of the Ministry of Construction's Construction Works Quality Appraisal, the Japanese corporation expected to complete its assessment by late August this year. Under the government's instruction, if the hydro-power plant retains a water level of 140 m, agencies will have to employ a consultancy firm to evaluate the effects on recent tremors. Currently, Vietnam's the Institute of Geophysics is carrying out a VND10 billion (USD476,190) project on the earthquake impact appraisal. The two agencies' appraisal will serve as a foundation for Vietnamese management agencies to conclude whether the power plant's water storage is the cause of the problem. Earlier in January 2013, the prime minister's report showed that construction of the power plant had been carried out according to a plan approved by the authorities. However, the government did refer to technical problems during the construction process, which had led to absorbency issues at the hydropower dam. He also requested EVN to avoid this mistake in future projects. The government report indicated that both Vietnamese experts and leading consulting firms from Japan and Switzerland said that Song Tranh 2 Hydropower Plant was safe. Under the PM's instruction, the power plant is not allowed to store water until a more careful check by foreign experts is concluded. The investor has also been required to provide clear emergency quake safety responses and appropriate compensation to local residents.

Public controversy over animal slaughter at traditional festivals

Các điểm tham quan như chùa Thiên Mụ, lăng Tự Đức, Lăng Minh Mạng, Lăng Khải Định While many have complained about the brutal treatment of animals at some traditional festivals, others have claimed the acts maintain spiritual value. Pig slaughtering festival in Bac Ninh Province Brutal The pig slaughter festival in Nem Thuong Village of Bac Ninh Province's Tien Du District starts on the sixth day of the lunar year. The main ritual of the festival involves the stretching of the animal's four legs and its slaughter in front of thousands of spectators. Visitors elbow each other to get their money soaked in the animal's blood as they believe it brings luck. Many people have said the festival is too barbarous. In some other parts of the country, several other festivals involving fighting and slaughtering of animals still take place, including the buffalo stabbing festival in the Central Highlands region and buffalo fighting festivals in Haiphong City and Vinh Phuc Province. Such festivals often end with the bloody deaths of participating animals, especially the winners. Despite being greatly criticised for their violence and inhumanity, the festivals have been maintained for years with the support of local people. Prof. Ngo Duc Thinh, former director of Vietnamese Cultural Research Institute, said such festivals reflected community demand. They are organised to offer sacrifices to the deities to wish for luck and prosperity. "The direct stabbing and killing of animals at some festivals terrifies many spectators who said such activities are barbarous and inhumane. Many international visitors aren't impressed by such rituals as well," Thinh commented. Associate Prof cum Dr. Trinh Hoa Binh from the Institute of Social Science said the practice was traditionally aimed to uphold human strength in conquering nature. However, the festivals include several brutal activities which may have negative effects on young spectators. "Nowadays, lethal injection is considered a humane method applied for those who are sentenced to death penalty, instead of shooting or decapitation as in the past. In modern life, people prefer minimising violent behaviour. Brutal activities at some traditional festivals are somehow contrary to this trend," Binh noted. He proposed that cultural researchers and managers should carefully consider these festivals so as to wisely decide which should be maintained and restored. Maintaining festivals Several other experts however still want to maintain such festivals as they claim that the events preserve spiritual values. Prof. Ngo Viet Thinh said during the buffalo stabbing festival, people sing a song to say that they don't want to kill the animals and that they are compelled to do so as they need support and protection from the deities. "The song proves humanity and the festival is organised for spiritual values," he commented. Even though spectators find such festivals barbarous, local people themselves think they are fine. It's infeasible to ban people from organising their cultural festivals, he said. In order to prevent possible negative effects, such festivals should be only maintained at a village level with only local participation. Children and those who are from other places should be discouraged from attending, he added. In response to concerns by some National Assembly deputies at the 12th NA's 5th session in 2009, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Anh Tuan admitted that brutal activities at some traditional festival were unnecessary and should be removed. He said that it was really difficult to ban such activities through administrative measures. It would require a lot of patience to change people's habits and ways of thinking.

Các điểm tham quan như chùa Thiên Mụ, lăng Tự Đức, Lăng Minh Mạng, Lăng Khải Định As the wind starts to blow in Can Tho City hundreds have started to fly their kites around Hau River Park daily for pleasure. Hundreds fly their kites around Hau River Park daily for pleasure Nguyen Thi Thanh Trang, who sells kites at Xuan Khanh Market, said, "Even though the kite season doesn't usually peak until March, I and several others decided to start selling right after Tet because of the early winds." According to Trang, this year prices for large kites have increased by between VND10,000 and VND15,000 (USD0.50-USD0.70), and smaller ones by between VND3,000 and VND5,000 (USD0.14-USD0.23). People often gather around Can Tho University's stadium, or Quang Trung and Con Khuong Bridges to fly kites, but Hau River Park seems to have become the most attractive spot, often seeing 500 to 600 people every day, and sometimes as many as 1,000. Hau is part of a sort of informal kite search and rescue group, who find lost kites and resell them. Last year he said he earned VND70,000-100,000 (USD3.34-USD4.78) a day, but is worried about more competitors this year. "I can make anywhere from VND10,000 to 20,000 (USD0.50-USD0.95) finding a kite. We sell them at about half the price they would cost new," Hau said.

Concern over draft decree on cash payment

Các bạn vui lòng liện hệ hoặc book tour online để có giá tốt nhất nhé A draft decree by the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has stirred up public concern, as it would forbid the use of cash for the purchase of cars and motorbikes. Most auto dealers prefer non-cash payment Recently, Bui Quang Tien, Director of the SBV's Payment Department said the bank would submit the draft decree on cash payment to the prime minister by June 30 at the latest so that it could be issued this year. Necessity Many people said it is necessary to minimise or even ban the use of cash in buying cars and some other big ticket items. Several experts said sooner or later such a regulation should be applied in Vietnam, and that now is a good time to consider it. They say that such a move could help minimise risk in financial management at all levels. "A mainly cash-based society is something of the past. In developed countries, people tend to use credit instead of cash," said Professor Dang Hung Vo. Laurent Charpentier, Chairman of Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers' Association (VAMA), also supported the proposed ban using cash for buying vehicles. "I think that this is a good idea. The automobile industry is one that is intertwined with banking, especially when financing is used," he commented. An anonymous director of a branch of a luxury car dealer in Vietnam said, "One day a client bought two cars worth almost VND10 billion (USD478,240). Unfortunately, he paid in cash with VND50,000 to VND200,000 notes. We had to assign staff to count and sort the money, and then call the bank to ask them to allow us to make a late deposit." Concerns Most automobile dealers agreed that non-cash payment are modern and necessary, but think that guidelines for a new system should be thought out before implementing such an action. Ha Minh Tuan, General Director of AnyCar, second-hand car dealer, said all car companies prefer non-cash payment to prevent problems and possible risks, such as counting, counterfeit currency and security services. Although Tuan sees the policy as feasible in larger cities, he worried that its wide application in rural and mountainous areas, or among people who are unfamiliar with the banking system could cause difficulties. Several other concerns have been brought up, such as worries over transaction charges that may discourage purchases and even overcrowding at banks. Professor Dang Hung Vo said that it is important to change people's habits and improve the quality of service in banking.
