Mai celebrates the last night of the lunar year yachting on the Saigon River in January, 2023. Photo by VnExpress/Minh Tam Born to a father who served in the American marine corps and a Vietnamese immigrant mother, Mai, 32, felt she was different from others ever since she was a child. "Our names, our hair color, and our eye color were different," Mai told VnExpress as she recalled her and her siblings’ childhood in a small town an hour’s drive from San Diego, California, where the majority of residents were white. "We considered ourselves different from others the moment we stepped out of our houses." Hoping to help Mai and her brothers and sisters blend into the local community, her mother didn’t teach them Vietnamese or Vietnamese culture. Her family rarely watched Asian movies and only visited the area’s Little Saigon district once a year to visit her grandmother. Racism was a serious problem during Mai’s school days. Asian children were forced by other students … [Read more...] about Vietnamese-American woman returns to her roots

We got married due to an unplanned pregnancy. Even though we were already dating for two years, it was a long-distance relationship filled with fights and breakups, and yet we stayed together. After getting married, I didn’t have a stable job, and my husband didn’t get a job until our baby was 18 months old. He would watch over the kids for me but refused to do any household chores. He has a habit of reading comic books and playing video games that he just can’t get rid of. He rarely helps me with chores because he says, "I do men’s work and it's harder." He doesn’t talk to me or his children much, and once he’s home he’s already lying down somewhere to read comics or play games, even after finishing his dinner, he just goes back to whatever he was doing without bothering to help me or the kids with chores and homework. The only thing he does is hang the laundry and drive the kids to school. I have often brought up the problem of sharing household chores with him, but he … [Read more...] about My husband won’t do housework because men’s work is harder

It's necessary to have joint efforts from all stakeholders, regardless of the Government, families, civil society, experts, and children, to ensure a safe digital environment for youngsters. Children aged 12-17 should be equipped with the essential knowledge to protect them in the digital world, as only 36% of them are taught how to stay safe online in Vietnam. Tran Dang Khoa, Deputy Director of the Information Security Department under the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC), raised the idea for fear that Vietnamese children will face increasing online threats if adults do not pay enough attention to the children. Khoa cited a report by the Ministry of Public Security's Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention, which said that of 135 cases of online child abuse handled by police in the first quarter of 2023, 116 were related to sexual harassment. In the first three months of the year, the department blocked around 10,000 websites with … [Read more...] about Vietnamese children in need of online safety skills: experts

Officials from the Ministry of Transport's Project Management Board No. 7 said at a meeting with authorities in the Mekong Delta province of Long An Monday that work to expand the 62-km expressway would begin in 2025 and be completed in two years, allowing vehicles to travel at speeds of 120 kph. Connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Tien Giang Province and passing through Long An, the expressway opened to traffic in 2011 with four lanes and two emergency lanes. The only expressway between HCMC and the delta has become increasingly overloaded, especially during holidays such as Lunar New Year when people flock to their hometowns. Currently the maximum speed allowed for vehicles is 100 kph. Since toll collection was stopped in January 2019 it has seen the number of vehicles increase by 30% to 50,000 daily, resulting in frequent traffic snarls and accidents, according to the Directorate of Roads, which manages it.
