I was in Vietnam for 5 years.

It's good to raise awareness in order to get more people to talk about this, these things, to take action. There are a few issues we can talk about from this. First, we can talk about people in general. We can debate on the health, the poverty, the conditions people are generally in.

We can talk about the police officers.

First, we can talk about people. Second, we can talk about cops, specifically government. I remember trying to ask police to find my lost bikes in Saigon a few times. I tried to give them hundreds of dollars and they wouldn't take my money. I've heard a lot of stories over the years. I've seen different things in Vietnam over the years. We can all educate each other on how things are and how things can be in Vietnam and in other countries. Ultimately, Vietnamese need to really want a better Vietnam before it can improve. Yes, in some ways, Vietnam has been improving in some ways. So, I always think about going back to help. There is a lot here. A lot to talk about from just this for example.

I wonder if you can find your bikes :) For our government, foreigners will be given more priority and I can understand the reason they do not take your money. But like so many people, we lost a lot of things but they never searched, but when an official loses a bird, they can find it in half a day. It's ridiculous, is not it? :)

It is great when you plan to return to Vietnam to help, and it's a lot of problems. There are many international volunteer groups in Vietnam, even support projects from international organizations. These help people get better service and living, I am very thankful for that . In my limits, I try to let people know their rights and the truth is concealed. I think this is good for the long future. :)

I was sitting at a table at McDonald's on Nguyen Hue, HCM. Near the HCM Square with that HCM statue. I was eating & was on my laptop. I was not looking at my phone for a few minutes. There were people sitting next to me. Some minutes later, my phone was missing. There was a security camera. I told the staff if that one old guy was sitting near me or not. I just wanted them to quickly look at their video to see. But they refused to help.

My Bikes.

I was not able to find one bike that I lost in front of a hostel on pham Ngu Lao in like May 2013. Then lost my new bike at the 23/9 Park like in December 2013. There was an electric bike that a friend of mine, Kathy, like sold. So, 3 lost bikes. I bought a 4th bike in 2014. It was tough but I still like so many people in Vietnam.

LOL. You're so unlucky :) In cities like Hanoi, Hai Phong and Ho Chi Minh, you will easily lose things. Please be careful.
In addition to the theft, robbery and hacking by the price. The Vietnamese are most wonderful. You will like the ordinary Vietnamese. But be careful because there are things that are bad for you, in my country it is very normal. For example: bribes, push up prices in the sky, lie .v.v.v and finally, indifference to the problem of others :)

Yeah, that is why I always try to know how much something should cost before going to a store. Also, it's better not to go shopping when you're hungry. It's great to know how to make a deal, to barter, at markets. I like competition.

I like free markets.

It can be scary when sellers raise prices. That is why the buyers, the customers, must be very smart to demand lower prices. If the sellers refuse, then the customers need to leave and find other stores. The problem is when too many customers are too lazy to even try to demand for lower prices. Then, sellers don't have to worry. And sellers will continue to try to raise the prices more and more. And sellers are trying to make money. Customers should try their best to save money. But it can feel like too much work for customers to fight, to barter. That's too bad for the customers in Vietnam or in other countries as well.

Same with china, you guy live there got to change or riot.

I was surprised to see the reply from you, it is rare :) But I'm sorry for not replying sooner.
You're right and it's almost copied from all china. From land reform, Nhan van - Giai pham also learned hundred flowers blooming, china oppresses Falun Gong and they do the same by unofficial force, china has hit the tiger kill flies they also hit the mouse kill mosquitoes. And latest product general secretary of the Communist Party concurrently serving as president of the country.

I have no belief that the people will recognize and change it, they were asleep in fear & selfish for so long, they will not be able to wake up if the sky did not fall down. And the truth is I'm just waiting for that, bankrupt of public debt or the fall of china are scripts that can be thought of. With these scenarios maybe the riot will happen. In fact also had some riots happened but it is too small to change everything.

Thanks for reading @dang007 & have a nice day!

Vietnam is a lot better than China. The government in Vietnam has improve a bit after the 1990's. It has been improving in some ways. China has an even bigger government than that of Vietnam. China is also buying into companies like Apple, Facebook, Hollywood, Google, etc. China is trying to take over the world. That's ok if you like China. But if you don't, then you may be concerned, especially if you don't trust China. I prefer Vietnam over China.

Surely Vietnam is still better than China my dear . What I mentioned above is just about the similarities of the two governments. The Communist Party of Vietnam often copied the actions of the Chinese Communist Party, this is what i want to say. And of course, I hate China ! Hi :)
If you have time @joeyarnoldvn , please do not ignore the human rights issue in my country. Thank you for coming here & for your actions!

I think law is written to protect itself not people 🙁

You are right, it caters to power.
In my country, Article 4 of the constitution is temporarily translated into: Communist Vietnam is the only force comprehensive leadership of the country :(

Ngạc nhiên quá @hanggggbeeee :) vui vì em đã đọc và cảm ơn về upvote của em nhé :)

... e thậm chí còn chưa nghe đến những case a nhắc ở trên bao giờ.

Ôi trời, chưa bao giờ nghe luôn! Anh gặp người từ rừng xuống rồi :) khakha Sẽ tốt khi em đọc cả lề trái và lề phải, lúc đó em sẽ biết ai đang lừa dối em :)

Haha. E nói thật. Chắc là do lâu nay e k để ý đến mấy vấn đề này lắm.
😁😁

Thì em cũng giống nhiều người Việt khác mà :) chuyện này là bình thường ở VN. Có một điểm khá tốt ở em là em luôn sẵn sàng công nhận những điều không ổn của mình :) , A ko biết nhiều nhưng ít nhất là 1 số trường hợp anh thấy như thế. Việc còn lại của em là có thích thay đổi nó hay không thôi. khakha
Mỗi người quan tâm tới 1 thứ theo tâm thức hoặc theo sở thích hoặc theo sự thiếu hụt của bản thân. Ví dụ về âm nhạc đi, nhiều người quan tâm tới nhạc trẻ và biết tất cả các thông tin mới về nó, bản thân anh thì chỉ quan tâm tới những vấn đề xã hội nên những thứ khác anh rất hiếm khi đọc. Đơn giản chỉ như thế thôi, việc không đọc về xã hội có khi lại thành thánh nhân đó em ah. :)

Thật ra thì e mới vote thôi chứ chưa có đọc =)))
Nhưng giờ đọc đây a. Haha

Dạo này e cũng thấy có nhiều vấn đề, nên chắc cũng cần cái nhìn đa chiều hơn tí. Sẽ ghé blog của a thường xuyên. Có thể e sẽ k thích tất cả các cái a viết, nhưng sẽ ghi nhận và tranh luận :))

Có thể e sẽ k thích tất cả các cái a viết, nhưng sẽ ghi nhận và tranh luận :))

Anh khi em nói về điều này hai nữa trong anh gật đầu với nhau (Rất hiếm khi hai cái tôi trong anh chịu đồng thuận). Bắt đầu từ những nền tảng cơ bản này mọi người sẽ dễ tham luận hơn.

Hôm nay rảnh đi đọc reply hả ông bạn :)
Reply của ông có tâm quá nè :)
