东南亚第一座 越南核电站2020年投入服务
===============================================
（莫斯科马新电）越南一名官员透露，东南亚第一座核电站将在2020年，在越南投入服务。
　　这座核电站需时6年兴建，将在孟加拉完成其卢布尔（Roopur）核能项目后的两年，正式 投入服务。

　　越南能源研究所的陈志青，昨天在莫斯科举办的AtomExpo展览会上透露，越南的第一座核电站将由俄 罗斯兴建；日本则负责在2015年展开的第二座核电站的兴建工程，此核电站预计将在2021年 投入服务。

　　陈志青说，两座核电站都将建在宁顺省（Ninh Thuan）。

　　越南在30年前开始研究开发核能的可能，但在1986年发生切尔诺贝利核事故之后，有关研究就暂停。越 南政府后来在2009年，通过兴建核电站的计划。

　　陈志青表示，越南在开发核能面对的最大挑战是人力的问题，因为该国这方面的人才非常有限。他还补充，越 南当局正与俄国核能中心紧密合作，以便训练相关人员。

　　除了越南之外，宣布有意开发核能的东南亚国家包括马来西亚、菲律宾和泰国。

Parents struggling to register summer classes for children

Their primary school entry also so high ....


Primary school entrance exam season heating up
================================================== ======
VietNamNet Bridge – It’s now the most difficult period for many parents in big cities, since their children enter the primary school entrance exam season, which is no less stressful than the university entrance exam.


The race among parents

The primary school entrance exam season began in late May with the exam to the Nguyen Sieu School. 400 students registered to attend the exam, while the school plans to enroll only 150 students.

“H”, who lives on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street in Hanoi, related that her son attended the exam which took place on April 23 and 24. All the examinees stayed at the school from the morning to late afternoon, while they had lunches right at the school.

“My son looked radiant and self-confident when he left the school in the afternoon. He said he would pass the exam. However, he could not tell me what he did at the exam. I was worried stiff,” she said.

As predicted, the boy failed the exam. However, H does not give up the plan on sending the boy to a prestigious private school. “I will ask my son to attend another exam to another primary school. Doan Thi Diem School is an ideal choice, but I am afraid he will fail again,” she said. “If he fails again, he will have to go to a state owned school”.

H, like many other parents, does not dare to let her child to attend the exam to the Doan Thi Diem Primary School, because the school has been well known as setting very high requirements on students.

The exam questions of Doan Thi Diem School are always so difficult that people believe that the questions are as complicated as the questions raised at the “Road to Olympia”, a contest for high school excellent students. Some people comment on education forums that with such the exam questions, Vietnam will become the country with the best education in the world.

A member from the mathematics forum of the Hanoi University for Natural Sciences commented that if students can solve all the exam questions, the knowledge for first grade will not be a problem to them.

1400 students attended the entrance exam to Doan Thi Diem school, held on May 28, while the school plans to enroll 400 students only. “T”, a parent, whose daughter luckily passed the exam to Doan Thi Diem School, said that the girl had to spend much time to prepare for exam by attending the Tuoi Tho Club of the school since March 2011. Besides, the girl also went to a private tutoring class once a week. Especially, she is very good at English, because she has been going to Apollo, an English center, for the last two years.

“My relatives and colleagues all say congratulations to me, and I am proud of my daughter because this was really a difficult exam. I think that the parents whose children pass the university entrance exams would be not happier than me,” she said.


Many students, few schools

The Experimental Primary School, a unit of the Vietnam Education Science Institute, but operates under the mode of non-state owned school, only issued a limited number of application forms. Therefore, parents every summer have to queue up in front of the school to purchase the forms.

A lot of parents were seen cooling their heels at the school at 3-4 am, waiting for application forms; even though the school announced it began selling the forms at 8 am. However, parents affirmed that the forms ran out right at 7.30 am. Some parents said some “brokers” offered to sell the form at 500,000 dong.

About 600 forms have been sold, which means that 600 students will take the entrance exam, while the school will accept 180 students only.

The exams to non-state owned primary schools will last until the end of June. Lomonosov School will organize the exam on June 11, while students will have to attend the exam to Le Quy Don School on June 18. Many parents say they have been worried stiff when hearing that the school will enroll only 360 students, while the number of registered students has reach 1000.

The stressful exams to primary schools take place every summer. No one can say for sure when the situation will be improved, because there are always many students, while there are very few good schools with good material facilities.

New place to relax......


Cua Tung – the Queen of beaches
=================================================
VietNamNet Bridge - Located in the coastal district of Vinh Linh in the central province of Quang Tri, Cua Tung Beach is the nation's "Queen of Beaches", arousing the curiosity of many tourists to come and experience its beauty.

The one kilometre-long beach is not particularly long or wide, but the water is gentle and clear. Two underground rock formations, Mui Si and Mui Lai, encroach on the sea, creating a small bay that shelters the beach from strong waves and tides.

The beach is surrounded by a belt of basalt and stone mountains that resemble a huge comb passing through the hair of the waves. On the hill grow green orchards of jackfruit, pineapple, banana and custard-apple.

While the central region is known for its harsh weather, with dry winds from the southwest and major storms from the sea, Cua Tung Beach is protected by Mother Nature, out of the wind on most days, and the bay offers safe harbour for fishing boats.

The first foreigner to set foot here during the time of French colonialism saw the area’s potential for developing resorts. At that time, Vietnam was divided into three regions and the central region was known as Annam. Ernest Albert Briere, the governor of Annam from 1891-97, was one of those who fell in love with the place, and he built a palace here in 1896 to spend his holidays on the beautiful beach.

The palace was transferred to King Duy Tan (1900-45), the 11th king of the Nguyen Dynasty, who ascended the throne at age 7 and bridled at living in confinement in palaces under the control of the French. He travelled extensively around the country, and Cua Tung was one of his stops.

King Bao Dai (1913-97), the 13th and final Vietnamese feudal king, often traveled from his capital in Hue to Cua Tung to enjoy this amazing beach.

The Frenchman Andre de Laborde, who had a deep understanding of this land, described Cua Tung as a gentle sloping beach which is part of the green highland 20m above sea level. From the slope, people can see the changes in the colour of the sea and sky. Shades of blue change hourly under the sunshine, surprising anyone who has the chance to witness it.

The sea here is so shallow that a person can run about half a kilometre from the shore and the water will only be up to their chest.

Nearby Cat Son village is a short stroll along the beach. It has been famous for hundreds of years for its fish, drum-making, carpentry and mother-of-pearl inlay. Here, you can dine on cuttlefish, prawns, lobster, butterfish, mackerel, Chinese herring, and other kinds of seafood cooked in the local way.

To the south of the beach is the estuary of the Ben Hai River with Hien Luong Bridge just 10km from Cua Tung Beach. The bridge lies on the 17th parallel and formed the border between North and South Vietnam between 1954 and 1975.

This symbol of separation and loss in wartime is now one of the links between Vinh Linh and Vinh Gio districts in the province. Boarding a boat at the base of the bridge, travellers can see lush rice paddies, bamboo and casuarinas trees along the river banks. The slow rhythm of life, the whisper of the wind and the rippling of the water, all bring a feeling of peace.

About 30km offshore from the beach is Con Co Island, a 4- sq. km island with a coastline of about 8km and an average elevation of 5-30m above sea level. At the centre of the island is a 63m-high mountain which was a strategic position during the time the country was divided. Though it is isolated from the mainland by heavy winds, soldiers braved the strong waves and enemy attacks to carry food and weapons to the island.

Lush forests and fruit trees cover the island, including hardwoods with resin as red as blood. In autumn, the bang (Malabar almond) trees also turn red, making the island even more picturesque.

Since 1989, 4,000 coconut trees, symbolising the 4,000-year history of Vietnam, have been cultivated on the island. It is also the home of a small rattlesnake that is used to steep in rice wine to make medicine for treating backache and other ailments. Black and white sea cucumbers as big as a toe are found in the surrounding waters and make a good dish that also has medicinal properties.

Tours to the battlefields in the province and the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allow visitors experience the Vinh Moc Tunnels – a 2km-long network of tunnels up to 23m underground that were used to shelter residents during wartime – as well as the Old Citadel of Quang Tri, the Ta Con airstrip, the Khe Sanh – Road 9 Battlefield, and the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Vermicelli and fish – a delicious speciality of Kien Giang
================================================== ====

The brand name of Kien Giang vermicelli and fish has appeared for a very long time and nobody knows exactly where it came from; but the taste of the dish is so typical that we cannot confuse it with any other kind of vermicelli and fish.

Kien Giang province is the ended land in the South West of the country. With a long coast, Kien Giang has a large aquatic product. The food here is processed in various ways but still kept their own flavor.

The vermicelli and fish is a popular dish; each place has their own flavor. However, the Kien Giang vermicelli and fish is special in its own way.

Although people humbly consider vermicelli and fish as a common dish, the process to cook the dish here is not simple at all.

First, the fish should be alive when we prepare the dish. If it is already dead, its meat would not tasty anymore. After removing all its scab, clean the fish and cut it into three parts. Cut the head apart from the body and keep the bowel stick to the head.

Using a pointed knife to cut a small line on the fish’s stomach and then taking all the remained food out. When doing so, we must be very careful not to break the fish’s liver and gallbladder. (In the Southern, people highly value the fish’s bowel. They consider it as the best part of the fish. Not only that, the bowel also has a cultural meaning in communication. In a meal, the bowel would be respectly given to honor ones).

The fish then would be steamed in a pot call “xửng” (it is a wood mould that is usually used for steaming with some holes at the bottom) so that the sweet water from the fish would drop into the pot of bullion below.

When the fish is cooked, take it out and remove all the skin. Then, break the fish into pieces and put them on a plate. After that, we would prepare the shrimp. Shrimp used for cooking the vermicelli and fish must be the sea shrimp.

Clean the shrimps, remove their shell and head, embalm them with a little salt, pepper and garlic. Then, dry the shrimps with a little oil and garlic, keep the fire small and dry until the shrimps turn into golden yellow.

If we want the bullion more moreish, we could bake a dried cuttlefish and tear it into small pieces and put them in the pot of bullion. We should not use bones from pig, chicken or cow since it would make the typical flavor of fish lose. If the fish has caviar, we can take it out, and put it in the pot of bullion to make it look more attractive.

The vermicelli is also carefully manipulated. The rice must be a good one. First, we have to soak the rice in fragrant coconut water, and then wash it in water so that the rice would be spotlessly white.
The next step is husking the rice and kneading the rice flour. Then, we put the rice flour into the mould and push the flour into boiling water. When the rice is float, we would have the vermicelli, take it out and pour cold water over. The vermicelli must be processed in such a meticulous way so that it would be fragrant and smooth.

Soak the vermicelli into the bouillon and quickly put it into a bowl, then put the fish and shrimp on and then pour the bouillon into the bowl. We can also add some green onion and dill to make it more delicious.

The dish would taste better if it is served with Phu Quoc fish sauce – the famous typical fish sauce of Kien Giang.

In Kien Giang, people like to eat vermicelli in some common restaurants at the market or in some small shifts. When enjoying the dish in such places, you would truly feel its delicious taste in the simple and natural atmosphere.

Fake Hai Phong cops caught ‘fining’ drivers
================================================== ====

Two men in Hai Phong who impersonated police officers and fined vehicle drivers to pocket the money were arrested Monday by the police after they forgot one minor detail – that cops wear uniforms.

Last Friday Nguyen Van Dung, 25, of Thuy Nguyen District and Do Duy Hoang, 19, of Le Chan District wore police helmets and used whistles to deceive drivers on Cau Dat Street.
However, Sergeant Major Do Son Tung of the Hai Phong police training and professional fostering center, who was passing by, noticed the two were not in uniform.

He secretly followed them.

At Quan Ngua Lake, when they were about to “fine” a driver, Tung, with the help of passersby, captured them.

On interrogation, Dung and Hoang confessed to their crime. They said in 30 minutes they had stopped seven drivers on Le Loi, Pham Minh Duc, and Luong Khanh Thien Streets and extracted VND50,000 (US$2.5) from each.

越南欢迎美国 协助解决南中国海纠纷
===========================================
（河内路透电）越南当局昨日声称，定于星期一在南中国海进行的实弹演习是“例常演习”，同时表示欢迎国际社 会，包括美国协助解决南中国海主权纠纷。

　　越南外交部发言人阮芳娥证实，实弹演习将在周一进行，并称这是“越南海军在该区域的常年例行活动，越南 海军每年都计划为越南人民军举办定期的训练活动。”

　　针对美国或其他方面在调解纠纷上可能扮演的角色，阮芳娥说，维持南中国海海事和平、稳定及安全，是该区 域内外各国的共同利益。“所有来自国际社会在维持东海（越南对南中国海的称法）和平与稳定方面的努力，我们 都欢迎。”

　　虽然南中国海纠纷不太可能引发军事冲突，不过，区域的紧张关系将造成外交上的问题，并可能把美国卷入其 中。

越南演员穿旗袍遭越网民炮轰
===========================================
　　（河內讯）在中越两国主权争议升级之际，越南女演员穿旗袍的照片上载到网，遭到越南网民的炮轰，认为她 穿着不得体，有损国格，是没有大脑的行为。
　　这名26岁演员是有“21世纪妇女”之称的吕青玄（La Thanh Huyen），也是当今越南年轻人的偶像和表率。

　　台湾中央社报道，吕青玄月初与丈夫到中国旅行，并参加一家瑞士公司的会议。她到访上海、北京两大城市， 并穿着中国旗袍参加会议，还与许多外国经营者合影，这些照片被上载到网络上。

　　一名网友表示，吕青玄代表21世纪越南妇女，在主权争议日益紧张的情形下，却只顾自己的爱好，不讲究大 局，穿中国传统服装代表越南人参与会议，真是没头没脑的行为。

　　另一名网友说，越南妇女应该穿着越南的传统服装 ，而且这次她出国是参加会议。就算她不穿越南服装，也不该穿上中国旗袍，这会严重影响越南妇女 的形象。

　　但也有网友同情她说，也许吕青玄的这些照片，拍摄日期是在南中国海主权争议发生之前。但这名网友马上遭 到其他网友围剿。
