When Quynh first heard about Tinder, she was not convinced it would actually work, but downloaded it anyway out of curiosity. The app allows users to browse through thousands of profiles to find an interesting one. If two people are matched, they can start an online conversation. Sitting with a group of single friends at a weekend party recently after a busy week, Quynh heard the story of a man and a woman sitting next to each other at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi when they were matched by the app. They went on to become a couple. "It sounded too good to be true, but I didn’t know many men at school and office, so I wanted to give it a try," the 25-year-old, who works for an NGO in the capital, said. On the first day she was matched with over 50 people. Quynh is not alone. Many of her friends are also active on Tinder and other apps such as Grindr and Bumble.

Village embraces ancient culture
By Trần Mai Hưởng We took a trip to Vạc Village in the western part of the central province of Nghệ An. On Google Map, Vạc Village is just a small dot that appears very far away. From Hồ Chí Minh National Highway passing the Phủ Quỳ area, we turned right and drove straight for dozens of kilometres toward Thái Hòa Town. I was a little surprised at the appearance of a young urban area rising on the ancient land with offices, residential houses and bustling streets. On the main road Nguyễn Trãi, we turned onto a street heading to the south named Làng Vạc. We followed that road to the outskirts of the city, passing several kilometres of low and high hills.
