Extractions: I was told that one of the "must see"s in Hanoi was the water puppet show - a distinctly Northern Vietnamese cultural entertainment. Magically choreographed by 9 puppeteers and accompanied by a live orchestra , this art transcends language barriers and tells the stories of the countryside and Vietnamese mythology. Traveling through a country with poverty can make one feel guilty at times. But there are ways to enjoy the trip as a tourist while contributing to the community. It may be hard not to be skeptical sometimes, but if I get more information about what the organization is trying to do, I think it's worth a try.

He is now working for a Malaysian construction company that is going to build housing complexes and hostels in Ghana, Tanzania, and Angola. The two Israeli guys, Aviv and Boaz, are probably still backpacking through Cambodia and Laos, contemplating which Asian country to hop over to next. I met a plethora of European women who come to Vietnam to volunteer at orphanages while they travel through the country. Mr. Phan, whom I became very good friends with in Hanoi, opens his photo shop every morning, but he has a colorful background of being a math teacher and an Asian cuisine restaurant owner in East Germany. I met a blonde Caucasian Zimbabwean pharmacist who now lives in the UK because life became trying for a white woman living in Zimbabwe.

Extractions: Home Community Site Info Wiki ... Articles > Annotation for: "What are Otherkin?" In a comment on the parent article Petrael said: "From months of research in the Japanese culture I have never found that the Imperial line of Japan claims descent from Dragons. They claim descent from Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess." Avalokitesvara and interestingly enough also derivative of Chinese mythology in which 'dragon' and 'phoenix' represent both opposing and sychronous forces'yin' and 'yang' if you will, or 'in' and 'yo' in Japanese) would be a fairly recent (at least in terms of mythology and legends) development, and not wholly representative of the original symbology. Additionally, though the Japanese people as a whole may not claim 'descent' from dragons, many of the original 'uji' (clans) of Japan (notably pre "Kojiki" and "Nihongi", both of which are frequently-mangled aggregations of older myths and legends that were highly politicised by the Yamato clan to support their rule) considered many different 'supernatural beings' to be their ancestors, before Shinto as it is commonly percieved today, and multiple individual 'uji' ritual beliefs and practices were aggregated into what it is now. If you look back far enough this information can be found. Effectively, when the sanskrit title (Avalokitesvara) is rendered into Chinese, it becomes "Kuan Shih Yin""The One Who Hears The Cries Of The World" ( Source: "Kuan Yin: Myths and Prophecies Of The Chinese Goddess Of Compassion", Martin Palmer and Jay Ramsay with Man Ho Kwok)

Extractions: An Enduring Classic: Customs and Culture of Vietnam Chapter 10 FESTIVALS, HOLIDAYS, AND RECREATION IN THE countryside, away from the influence of the larger cities, there is no such thing as a five or six day work week. The peasants toil day in and day out, from dawn to dark, until the work is completed. Relief only comes with the advent of a national holiday or a special festival. The holidays and festivals are generally based on the lunar calendar. For this reason, their festivals may come on a different date each year by our Gregorian calendar. The Lunar Calendar As with the Chinese, the Vietnamese lunar calendar begins with the year 2637 B.C. It has 12 months of 29 or 30 days each, and the year totals 355 days. At approximately every third year, an extra month is included between the third and fourth months. This is to reconcile the lunar calendar with the solar one. The Vietnamese like the lunar calendar because they can be sure of a full moon on the 15 th day of each month. in their everyday life, however, they use the Gregorian calendar. Unlike our centuries of 100 years, the Vietnamese calendar is divided into 60-year periods called "Hoi."

Extractions: ART FORMS in Vietnam have been influenced by outsiders for years to include the Chinese, the French, and the Americans. In spite of these influences, the Vietnamese have emerged in many ways as their own master. Architecture There is nothing too unusual about Vietnamese architecture today. It appears to be a melting pot made up of buildings constructed with available materials, such as wood, bamboo, and thatch. Concrete is now being used for big buildings in the large cities and towns. The design used a similar to those found in China, France, and the United States. In the larger cities, such as Saigon, Hue, and Dalat, some buildings look very much like those found in France. These are typified by thick stone walls and high ceilings. Today, the influence of the Americans is being felt in the newer and more modern buildings which are typical of modern architecture adapted to a tropical climate. This is particularly true of schools being built in South Vietnam. The influence of the Chinese is seen in the temples, pagodas, tombs, and burial places. At these sites, one finds pillared porches bedecked by dragons and other traditional motifs. Wide expanses of roof with decorated supporting beams are dominant.

http://www.travelintelligence.com/wsd/articles/art_3048.html

Extractions: by David Atkinson As we dismounted from our motorbikes, we were greeted by the unmistakable yelps of dogs being slaughtered. I'm not generally a fussy eater. Indeed, as a rule, I enjoy nothing better than sampling the local cuisine in far flung places. Hence, having been posted to work in Hanoi , I was delighted to be invited to share a meal with a new-found Vietnamese friend, Liem, and honoured when he enthused the meal was to be an official boys night out whereby we would eat, drink beer and talk politics. No doubt, I anticipated, while smacking each other heartily on the back between courses in a gesture of cross-cultural male bonding. What Liem had failed to mention, however, became all too apparent as we approached the restaurant, a stilt house on Hanoi 's Nghi Tam Avenue, just north of the city's Old Quarter. For, as we dismounted from our motorbikes hungrily, we were greeted by the unmistakable yelps of dogs being slaughtered. And, all too suddenly, it became clear to me that the highlight of a boy's night out Viet style was not the beer nor the jovial banter, but the chance to savour fresh dog meat (thit cho).

Extractions: BY DAVID L. ULIN W hat's the role of fate in our lives? Is it an illusion, or something substantial, a force whose influence we truly can't escape? Living, as we do, in a rational universe, it's reassuring to believe the former, but, really, there's no way to be sure. As Robert Olen Butler writes in his eighth novel, "The Deep Green Sea," "For a year, here in Vietnam, I woke up every day and I was scared and I could see people dying, or walking around and about to die, not even realizing what was next, though it was like it was all arranged somehow, because tomorrow's death roster was going to be whatever it was going to be, and it could be me who was chosen, and I never lost a sense of that." In "The Deep Green Sea" the weight of destiny has a nearly physical pull. Moving fluidly between Benjamin Cole, a Vietnam vet who returns to Ho Chi Minh City after nearly 30 years to recapture a part of himself that "got stuck over here, [that] failed to make it onto the plane back home in 1967," and Tien, a Saigon tourist guide in her 20s who was abandoned by her prostitute mother on the eve of Saigon's liberation in 1975, the book traces a relationship that seems ordained by history itself. For Ben and Tien, this unexpected bond is a revelation, a promise that they still might be made complete, in spite of all they've lost. Yet as "The Deep Green Sea" progresses, their happiness is complicated by Ben's suspicion that the bar girl with whom he had an affair during the war might have been Tien's mother.

I've visited 14 countries and 23 U.S. states, and it's my favorite of all of them. It took me a while to figure out why, and the reasons are many and complex. The most compelling is that the Vietnamese people are the friendliest, most welcoming and most outgoing people I've ever met. This is also the first place I've done any serious biking (1,800 km or 1,100 miles), so maybe I was on an endorphin rush the whole time. There is a lot of history here for someone of my generation, and lots of interesting things to see. I met a lot of people that I liked. They were both Vietnamese and others that came from all over the world and somehow ended up in this small country off in the corner of Southeast Asia. Like every country, Vietnam has both a light side and a dark side, although the light side far outshines the dark. Both make for a very interesting and enlightening visit. In this narrative, I'll try to give my impressions of what I saw and experienced here, both good and bad, and let you draw your own conclusions. In short though, I highly recommend Vietnam as a travel destination for anyone. You can learn some facts about Vietnam from the CIA World FactBook Britannica or Encarta.

Extractions: Spring 2005, vol 3 no 1 Interview ~ Edward Tick by Robert Wilson RW: Since 1979, you have worked as a psychotherapist with combat and non-combat veterans. Many of the combat veterans served in Vietnam. In 1984, you wrote a chapbook published by Brooks Books entitled On Sacred Mountain . It is a small collection of haiku that gives readers a glimpse of the war and how it affected the soldiers who fought in it. Why did you write this chapbook? And why the use of haiku? ET: First I want to thank you for the honor of appearing in Simply Haiku and for your own service to veterans and all of us in your own writing about Viet Nam and in offering this interview. On Sacred Mountain was my second chapbook with Brooks Books, following The Dawn That Bleeds in 1980. It was published five years after I began working with Viet Nam veterans. I wrote On Sacred Mountain , my first little collection of war haiku, as a way to help cleanse myself of the war imagery that was accumulating in my own psyche and causing me, as well as my veteran clients, so much pain. Equally important, I wrote it as a form of witness. James Hillman recently wrote in

Extractions: Spanning A Decade Of Covert Operations Communicated by Dr. Kevin Smant The 1960's proved to be a challenging period for the United States in its cold war effort. The primary testing ground of this effort was in Southeast Asia: primarily Vietnam. The struggle that began with the coup of Ngo Dinh Diem, and lasted throughout the decade, was the product of a global ideological battle waged by the Soviet Union and the United States. The cold war began soon after the conclusion of the Second World War, and lasted for four decades. A prime example of international relations during the cold war is the way the Central Intelligence Agency operated in Vietnam during the 1960's. This paper will examine two specific agency operations: the coup of Diem in 1963 and later in the decade, the Phoenix Program which took place from 1967-1969.
