Hi friends. How do I say to a young girl:

Is it enjoyable?

Pls write it phoenetically. I tried two Vietnamese hookers in Geylang. They're on the hole (whole) quite enjoyable. Pricewise a bit cheaper than the China hookers. But the Vietnamese hooker, I tried in M'sia gave v v bad service to me. This is because Vietnam was originally independent. Then ruled 1000 yrs by China. Independent. Then colonised by the French. Then by the Japs. Then French again. Americans tried to colonise Vietnam but failed. Independence. This causes them to be self reliant. To be subservient at times, yet independent at heart. Thanks.

越南青少年上网成瘾 当地已推出戒瘾计划
=============================================
（2009-06-22）

（胡志明市法新电）随着互联网在越南越来越普及，越南人也面对上网成瘾的问题。
　　当地第一个协助青少年戒除上网瘾的计划，就通过烤肉会或烘焙蛋糕等简单的活动，来协助上瘾者过正常生活 。

　　根据官方统计，越南8600万人口中的约四分之一，可取得互联网接驳服务。

　　尽管线上游戏是在约四年前才进入越南，但现在即使是在乡村地区，也可找到让人上网玩游戏的网吧，而且玩 线上游戏的人有不断增加的趋势。

　　美国调查公司Pearl Research去年底公布的报告就预测，越南的网络游戏玩家将在2011年突破1000万人。

　　在河内一家网吧，里面的30台电脑几乎全被青少年占用了，他们都聚精会神地玩着打斗或足球 游戏。

　　提供越南第一个戒除上网瘾计划的中心主管阮青仁说，他不清楚有多少网民需要帮助。他说，“我只能说数目 庞大”，因为有数以千计的人打电话来询问戒瘾计划。

　　15岁的潘黎洪德是第一批参加该计划的20个青少年之一。他说：“我刚开始时每天会玩五六个小时，但玩 的时间与日俱增。有时我会玩通宵10个小时。”

　　潘黎洪德的母亲说，该16天疗程的费用大约是350万盾（约290新元），但物有所值。她说：“只要能 找回孩子，我们愿意付费。”

　　阮青仁说，他们参考了中国和韩国的戒瘾计划，并加入了自己的一套方法，让青少年分享自己的 感受。

该课程也通过简单的活动如烤肉会或烘蛋糕，让青少年和家人重新建立联系。
　　
阮青仁说，参加戒瘾计划的学员中，90%放弃了网络游戏，那些继续玩线上游戏的人则学会尊重家 人

1 of my fav food of VN

Vietnamese pancakes a sensory dining experience
=============================================
Saigon Businessman Magazine

Pancakes are popular around the world, including in Vietnam, where the local version is known as banh xeo.

Banh xeo shares a number of common features with Japan’s okonomiyaki, Korea’s jijimi, India’s masala dosa and the crepes that are widely eaten for breakfast in America and Europe.

Unlike Western-style pancakes which focus on sumptuous topping, such as ham, bacon, cheese and honey, Asian pancakes are a harmonious combination of vegetables, meat and seafood.

Although fried, the crispy banh xeo are considered a healthy treat.

The crunchy crispy crepes are usually filled with pork, prawns, bean sprouts and chopped spring onions. They are eaten with lettuce and a sweet vinegary chili fish sauce.

To make the batter, flour is mixed with water, coconut milk, finely-sliced spring onions and turmeric.

About one third of a cup of batter is poured into a heated oiled frying pan. The yellow batter is then spread to create a thin, round pancake.

Toppings, including stir-fried pork, prawns and a handful of bean sprouts, are placed on the pancake while it’s still cooking. After a few minutes, the cake is folded in half to make a semi-circle, then served with lettuce and fish sauce.

Banh xeo is considered a flexible dish as the toppings can be varied according to personal preference and what’s in season.

Besides the most common toppings of pork, prawn, bean sprouts and boiled green beans, beef, seafood and mushrooms can also be added to banh xeo.

The pancakes are prepared differently throughout the country. Central Vietnamese are fond of a thicker and smaller banh xeo, with a diameter of 10 to 15 centimeters.

Southerners, however, prefer their banh xeo to be paper-thin, crispy, bigger in size and less oily. The secret to extra-thin cake is a deep frying pan and a quick wrist to coat the frying pan with the batter before it starts to cook.

Eating the cake is a messy but enjoyable process. The diner wraps a piece of the freshly cooked banh xeo in lettuce and dips it in the sweet chili fish sauce. The combination of the crispy texture of the banh xeo, the rich taste of the toppings, complemented by fresh vegetables and the sweet and sour fish sauce make a memorable dining experience for people of all ages and nationalities.

The excitement of banh xeo lies in the way the pancake is prepared - the sizzling sound when the batter is poured into the hot pan, the smell of the batter as it cooks and the mixture of the yellow batter, the green spring onions and the red shrimp.

The pancakes are eaten by hand, the better to enjoy the crispy, fresh taste.

Altogether, the experience of eating banh xeo is said to satisfy all five of the senses.

Ministry limits numbers of subscriptions by prepaid phone users
==============================================

An individual can use his/her personal information to subscribe to a maximum of three prepaid SIM cards from each mobile network provider, the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) has ruled.


An exception is made for those authorized to subscribe to the service for representatives of agencies or organizations, according to new regulations issued by the ministry on Wednesday.

The regulations ban subscribers from using others’ name, date of birth and ID card or passport number to buy prepaid SIM cards.

Using one’s own personal info to subscribe for others has also been ruled illegal unless the subscribers are parents or guardians registering for users below 14 years of age.

According to a government decree released last month that will take effect on July 15, anyone caught using another person’s ID card number to register a SIM card will be fined from VND2-5 million (US$117- 292).

Under the new regulations, prepaid mobile phone users are responsible for the authenticity of their registered information and have to inform network providers of any change in the SIM cards’ ownership.

They can report to authorities any misconduct by service providers or other users in collecting, storing and using their information.

From January 1, 2010, anyone caught falsifying information on their registration forms will have the service cut off.

Service providers and retailers are also barred from activating SIM cards when the subscribers haven’t registered their information, and from disclosing or using the information for illegal purposes.

The ministry has ordered all prepaid subscribers to register their SIM cards by providing their name, date of birth and ID card or passport number by Tuesday, June 30.

The move is part of an effort to track down companies and individuals who send out large volumes of unsolicited text messages and to hold them accountable.

Network providers, however, have said most subscribers have not yet registered their personal information, or have provided false information.

Company officials also say many SIM cards have been registered using false information.

People who began using prepaid phones from the beginning of 2008 were required to register their SIM cards at the time of purchase, but many card retailers allowed customers to use false information or that of the retailers, the ministry had reported early this year.

Moreover, retailers have registered a large number of SIM cards themselves using old customers’ info and have then resold them.

A new type of job???

Rent-a-groom
=============================
Some female factory workers in Binh Duong and nearby Ho Chi Minh City are hiring instant husbands after they fall pregnant and their lovers flee
Ha Hiep still keeps the wedding photo in her rented room in Binh Duong Province so that anytime her little son asks about his father, she has someone to point to.


The boy believes that his father is away on important business and will return eventually.

Hiep’s parents in far-away Ha Tinh Province are just as deceived and think she is living happily with the handsome young man they met at the wedding.

Only Hiep knows that the nuptials were a sham, and that the man was a total stranger she had met for the first time minutes before the ceremony.

It might sound unreal but more girls in Binh Duong and nearby Ho Chi Minh City are hiring instant husbands after they fall pregnant and their lovers flee.

The garment worker recalled how she had fallen in love with the student next door and stayed with him for several years before the “accident” occurred while the others were out.

“When he ran away, I was filled with hate but I could not leave the child,” Hiep said. “And I didn’t want my parents’ reputation to suffer.”

So she decided on a fake wedding.

The banquet halls that arrange the deception find suitable good-looking bridegrooms among their waiters, college students and local xe om drivers.

Phuong also from Binh Duong found herself in a similar predicament. She graduated from college and quickly found a good job at an import-export company in downtown HCMC.

Phuong became the object of the director’s affection after three months in the job. Her boss even promised to marry Phuong, but was quick to sack her once he learned she was pregnant.

She didn’t want an abortion, she dared not give birth alone in the city, yet she didn’t want to harm her parents’ good standing in their community by going home.

She too resorted to a sham wedding.

The banquet hall charged her VND1 million for the bridegroom and VND2 million for a few other people to play the in-laws. Phuong had to buy the groom’s wedding outfit and the dowry he was supposed to give her.

At the wedding party, her family felt proud to see their daughter hitched to a city man. Mission accomplished.

Unexpected income

Phan Hoang Lan has been paying his way through college for several years by playing the groom.

His new career came about when he was a part-time waiter at a banquet hall on Cach Mang Thang Tam Street in HCMC.

One day, out of the blue, the manager asked if he could play the role of bridegroom for VND1 million.

“I needed money to pay my tuition fee, so I accepted,” Lan said. “The next day a woman with a big belly came and took me to get a wedding photo. I was really scared but she was crying, so I went. After the photo was taken, she bought me a pair of shoes and a new, expensive suit.”

More such requests followed, in fact, so many that he had to farm the work out to young men of his acquaintance.

Hoang, who has been acting the groom for more than five years at a banquet hall in Binh Duong, said most of the girls he “married” were factory workers living far from home.

“The first time, I did it because I felt sorry for the girl, but it soon became just a source of income.”

One of his clients was an avowed lesbian whose family strongly objected to her sexual orientation and insisted that she marry a man.

“Sometimes I get scared about the future. What would happen if my wife happened to see the wedding photos with me in there?” Hoang said.

Tran Van Dang, who manages a banquet hall in Thu Duc District, is reluctant about providing the service but knows he will lose potential customers if he takes a principled stand.

“Anyway, it helps the girls avoid getting a bad reputation at home,” he said. “Yet every time I see a girl trying her best to smile, I feel sad.”
