Thirst for beer remains unquenched
=============================================
VietNamNet Bridge – Viet Nam’s beer market would continue to be one of Southeast Asia’s largest and fastest growing, according to global market research firm Euromonitor International.


Euromonitor International sees continued expansion of the market, at around 5.6 per cent growth over the next few years, slightly behind Laos and Cambodia.

Viet Nam’s integration into the World Trade Organisation opened up more opportunities for investment and imports from foreign companies, particularly with the Government’s commitment to slash tax on imported beer, said Spiros Malandrakis, an analyst with Euromonitor International.

The country’s total beer sales experienced an significant increase of 56 per cent last year, topping 1.6 billion litres, the second fastest growth rate in the region after Cambodia.

Some foreign beer brands like Budweiser, Sapporo, San Miguel and Fosters have also entered the local market.

Last week, the Viet Nam Br$$$$$es Company opened a factory with the capacity to produce 50,000 bottles of La Rue beer per hour near the central city of Da Nang.

The company is a joint venture, newly-established between Asia Pacific Br$$$$$es (APB) from Singapore and Viet Nam’s Sai Gon Trading Group (SATRA).

As one of the first beer producers in Viet Nam after the country opened its doors to outside enterprise 20 years ago, APB plans to invest US$100 million in Viet Nam’s beer industry over the next 18 months.

Japan’s Sapporo also plans to link up with Tobacco Viet Nam to produce beer from 2012. The company said it would be the first Japanese brewery to build a production and marketing base in the promising Vietnamese market which has been growing at an annual rate of more than 10 per cent.

The US’s Crown Holdings Inc has already announced that it would invest another $25 million in its production facility in Tam Phuoc Industrial Zone in the southern province of Dong Nai. It bought the production line last June from Malaysia’s Interfood Shareholding Co.

Crown Asia Pacific Holdings Ltd’s chairman Josef Salaerts said the line, with a capacity of 600 million 330ml cans annually, could begin operations in the fourth quarter of this year, and its capacity would grow to 1.2 billion cans in a years time.

A report by British Business Monitor International Ltd predicted that earnings in Viet Nam’s alcoholic beverage industry were increasing 16 per cent annually.

Beer, which accounts for 97.9 per cent of total alcohol beverage consumption, was expected to see a growth in consumption averaging over 50 per cent per year through to 2013.

Da Nang holds its lead in IT Readiness
================================================== ====

VietNamNet Bridge – According to the ITC Index 2010 report, Da Nang continues to top the country for IT application readiness, followed by HCM City and Hanoi.

The report was released last week by the National Steering Board for IT and the Vietnam IT Association.

At the bottom were Son La and Cao Bang provinces. Both are in the northern mountainous region.

Specifically, Da Nang ranks first in Vietnam for IT application and development, followed by HCM City and Hanoi. It ranks second in IT human resources, behind the Red River delta province of Vinh Phuc and ahead of HCM City.

Da Nang is the best in applying IT, followed by Dong Thap in the Mekong Delta and the northern port city of Hai Phong.

Hanoi, HCM City and Dong Nai earn the three top positions for IT business. Da Nang ranks fifth in this category.

In terms of IT organization and policy, Bac Giang, a northern province stood first, followed by the HCMC suburb of Binh Duong and Da Nang.

Among ministries and ministerial agencies, the Ministry of Education and Training climbed from second to first position, followed by the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Information and Communications jumped from eigth to third this year. Ironically, the Vietnam News Agency and the Vietnam Institute for Social Sciences are at the bottom.

According to this report, the IT application readiness index of ministries and ministerial agencies is generally higher than provinces and cities. Ninety percent of officials at ministries and central agencies can use computers compared to 76 percent of officials in provinces and cities.

Only 3.7 percent of ministries and central agencies have in-house IT experts, up 0.4 percent from 2009. All ministries have official websites, and so do all but one percent province.

Shopping fun at Dalat Market
===========================================

VietNamNet Bridge – “Ham lam, ba lam, bon lam…” (meaning VND25,000; VND35;000; VND 45,000). It is the voice of the sellers that you hear when you visit Dalat market in the evening. We spent some late evenings in the market listening to all the spruikers competing for the customers’ attention.

In the evening, after 6p.m. the market that locals call Hades market was bustling with activities from selling woolen products such as coats, hats and scarves, to the street food vendors. In the cold weather and light drizzling rain that had people dressed in coats, the tourists could not resist the smell of the grills or the cups of hot milk. Hades market is thronging every day in the streets around the main market in Dalat.

Smack in the center of town, Da Lat market was built from 1958 to 1960. It was designed by architect Nguyen Duy Duc. The market has a prime position in Hoa Binh district beside Xuan Huong Lake. It’s a good place for tourists to bargain, and there are some great products that are cheaper than HCMC. After going around the market and filling your bags with bargains you should try one of the special milk drinks made with soya beans, green beans, or peanuts before returning to your hotel. Other great smelling local grill specialties are sweet potato, corn, chicken’ legs or chicken’s wings. Woolen and brocade products also make great gifts or souvenirs.

In the morning, you can buy beautiful flowers, vegetables, fruit, artichokes, fruit jam, processed apricots, wines, syrups and a huge array of sweets made from local fruit.

Most expensive phone numbers in Vietnam
================================================== =

VietNamNet Bridge – Vietnamese believe that using good numbers they will be lucky in life and business. Based on this idea, many people pay billions of dong to own special phone numbers to get luck and to show off their “rank”.

According to some online forums, a man recently paid $200,000 to buy the cell phone number 0903456789 (of MobiFone network). This number is expensive because 090 is the oldest network code and 3456789 is the best chain of forward numbers among ten-digit phone numbers. It is said that the price for this number is much higher now.

A SIM shop recently offered this number 01666666666 (of Viettel) at 2.5 billion dong ($132,000). This is a special phone number because 16 means luck in business, nine six numbers mean being luck forever.

VinaPhone’s number 0916888888 is fixed at 888 million dong ($46,700). It is explained that 091 is among the oldest network code in Vietnam, 168 means getting rich, and 888888 means good fortune.

People call this phone number as “Dream of Life”. It is forecast that the price of this phone number will exceed over 1 billion dong very soon.

At present, two of seven mobile networks in Vietnam have launched programs to sell “special phone numbers” to customers, Viettel and VinaPhone.

Geomancer Nguyen Tuan Kiet from the Vietnam Geomancy JS Company explained that each chain of numbers has a “soul” like the name of a person. According to geomancy, the names or numbers have influences in terms of Yin and Yang and five basic elements to the owner’s life.

He recommended people choose phone numbers based on geomancy. At present, numbers 8, 9 and 1 are considered good ones and Kiet recommended numbers with 8, 9 and 1 at the bottom.

According to Kiet, numbers that benefit users must be fit the users in terms of five basic elements. For example, if a person was born in 1978, he belongs to element fire so his phone number should not include number 1.

Therefore, good numbers depend on the user’s basic element.

Deputy Minister: China is example for controlling online gaming
================================================== ======

VietNamNet Bridge – China should be a good example for Vietnam to learn from in managing online games, said Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Do Quy Doan in an online talk with VietNamNet’s readers.

According to Doan, Internet and online games are new to Vietnam so Vietnam should learn from other countries, especially China, which has the most developed online game industry in the Asia-Pacific.

Doan said that online gamers are strictly controlled in China through electronic ID. “Two years after China began using electronic ID, the adverse impact of online games has been controlled remarkably,” Doan claimed.

Doan emphasized that Vietnam should have its own ideas to fit the country’s situation.

“We should not copy exactly what China does to manage online games. We need to select suitable things to apply in Vietnam,” he added.

Le Hong Minh, Chair of the Association of Vietnam Game and Digital Content Providers, noted that Vietnam needs to learn from many developed countries besides China. He also asserted that local game distributors should find ways to develop both business and useful games for society.

Dr. Trinh Hoa Binh, a member of the National Council for Game Assessment, commented that Vietnam needs to apply scientific and intelligent measures to control online games while building a long-term strategy for online gaming.

Doan noted that the Ministry of Information and Communications had worked out five groups of solutions to control online games.

“At this moment, we have to use temporary solutions while waiting for long-term solutions. We have to issue a new document to replace Circular 60 to control online games, encourage the production of Vietnamese games and raise the public’s awareness of online games. In the long run, we will design the Law on Information Security on Internet.”

According to Doan, the MoIC will combine with the Ministry of Public Security to check information in order to make premise for controlling gamers by electronic ID.

Thich = like
Yeu = love

This means she feel comfortable with you not not up to the stage that must have you always.
Have feeling but not deep yet.

In another word, she only xao you abit. If like many others who use 'yeu', this means she xao nhieu nhieu.
