Students often visit Van Mieu Quoc Tu Giam, or Temple of Literature, in the days running up to their annual exams to pray for luck.

Many students are flocking to the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university, before their high school graduation exams which are scheduled to take place from June 22 to 24.

The temple, the main Confucian school in feudal times, was built in 1070 in the time of Emperor Ly Nhan Tong. It includes various pavilions, halls, statues and steles and is still venerated as place of respect. Modern students still indulge in this tradition.

Tháng 6, nhớ “Cơn lốc màu hoa hồng” trên cầu Thị Nghè

~ Phạm Nga ~ 1 bình luận

Tháng 6 hằng năm, cứ đáo lệ có cách quãng luân phiên là mùa Euro Cup hay World Cup. Vào mùa Euro Cup 2008, về đội bóng tôi thích nhất, kỳ vọng nhất là đội Hà Lan, đội bóng của “đất nước hoa tulip”, thì chỉ đến hết vòng tứ kết là những “cơn lốc màu da cam” không còn cuồn cuộn trên các sân đấu nữa. Tôi còn nhớ năm đó, trước cái đêm oan nghiệt 21 tháng 6, Hà Lan bị Nga loại với tỷ số thê thảm 3 – 1, tôi vẫn tràn trề lạc quan về đội bóng thần tượng của mình. Khi ấy tôi hào hứng đến nổi, từ hình ảnh “cơn lốc màu da cam” của các cầu thủ Hà Lan, tôi đã thiết tha nghĩ ra luôn danh hiệu “những cơn lốc màu hoa hồng” thật kỳ mỹ đặt cho những chị em bán hoa chạy rất dễ mến trên cầu Thị Nghè cũng vào thời gian ấy.

This article is part 3 of a series on peak oil in the South China Sea.

Bloomberg commented on 15/12/2016 that “Trump’s Top Diplomat Would Bring Complex History With China From Exxon Days”

Exxon’s work is focused on a field in undisputed territory about 80 kilometers (50 miles) offshore from central Vietnam, spokesman Aaron Stryk said in response to e-mailed questions. He declined to comment on reports China warned Exxon against exploring in disputed areas.

“Border issues are a matter for governments to address through appropriate channels,” Stryk said. “We have a successful history of working with various governments and partners around the world to maximize the value of hydrocarbon resources.”
