Visa To Vietnam, Emirates launches direct flights to Vietnam

January 16, 2012 in Vietnam Visa hot news

Emirates Airline has launched a daily nonstop service from Dubai to Ho Chi Minh City, as the carrier continues to expand its business in Southeast Asia.

The airline now uses an Airbus A330-200 on the route to Ho Chi Minh City, but the service will be operated by a Boeing 777-300 ER from October 28, the Gulf-based carrier said in a release.

“Vietnam has been one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia, with Ho Chi Minh City, home to over 7 million people, recognized as its commercial capital,” the airline said. The city is the carrier’s 124th destination.

“Emirates will offer tourists and business travelers, particularly from the Middle East, Africa and Europe, a convenient option to access Vietnam,” said Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline. “Ho Chi Minh City is one of the most vibrant places in Southeast Asia, and we are convinced that this will prove to be a highly popular route.”

Trade between the UAE and Vietnam exceeded US$24 million in 2010, and Emirates, through its cargo arm SkyCargo, has had an active presence in the market for a number of years, the airline said.

“Vietnamese exports – which range the full value chain from high-end tablet PCs, smart phones and printers to garments, sportswear and shoes – have been shipped through other Emirates’ Asian gateways, including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong onto European, American, Middle Eastern and African markets,”  the carrier added.

Vietnamese Culture, Savoring banh beo in Hue style

January 13, 2012 in Vietnam Visa hot news
Savoring banh beo in Hue style My friends from around the country who normally visit Hue City usually call me in advance to take them to enjoy banh beo (rice cake) in Hue style prepared in small bowls.
Why does this rustic and simple food have such a strong attraction on people? Well, to enjoy delicious banh beo, diners should come to a small alley next to An Dinh Palace at the corner of Nguyen Hue and Phan Dinh Phung streets or to Ba Do or Huong Cay food shops on Nguyen Binh Khiem Street.

These shops are popular to diners. Shop owners prepare cake-making materials and start cooking once customers order food. That’s why diners always have a chance to savor hot and freshly-made cakes.

Banh beo is made from two main ingredients including rice powder and shrimp. To make the cake, people usually combine rice powder and nang powder with water to make it chewy. Then people wait for five hours to steam the mixture. After that, they put some cooking oil into small bowls, put on a steam cooker and pour powder mixture inside these bowls. A good cake should be steamed from 8 to 10 minutes.

Shrimp will be ground with spices and then fried with cooking oil. Eateries will put shrimp on the surface of the rice cake bowl and other ingredients including fried onion and pigskin. Banh beo is served to guests with a special sauce made from shrimp broth, fish sauce and fresh chilies.

Vietnam Tours, Touring a flooded Hoi An

January 13, 2012 in Vietnam Visa hot news
Touring a flooded Hoi An The ancient town of Hoi An is a low-lying area in the central province of Quang Nam, so it is always flooded by incessant rain.
Every year, when the rainy season comes and floodwaters from the upstream of the Thu River flow downstream into Hoi An, the town’s authorities and residents worry about a fall of tourist arrivals.

Things are different this year, though. In the flood season this year, the town has seen an insignificant decline in foreign tourist arrivals because many tourists have shown interest in visiting a flooded Hoi An.

Robert Taylor, an Australian tourist, said this is the second flooding season he has come to Hoi An, just to experience the pleasure of exploring the ancient town whose streets are submerged under water. He has asked many of his friends to come and admire the flooded town. Tourists can take a boat trip around.
This is also a chance for many poor fishermen in Hoi An to earn money by serving tourists. After floodwater recedes, Hoi An will look more attractive with green moss covering ancient houses there.

Vietnamese Tet (Tet Nguyen Dan 2012)

January 13, 2012 in Vietnam Visa hot news
Vietnamese Tet (Tet Nguyen Dan) Tet is the biggest and the most sacred festival. It is the most attractive to a majority of the Vietnamese.
Tet falls on a time when the old year is over and the New Year comes by lunar calendar. This is also the time when the cycle of the universe finishes: winter ends and spring, the season of birth of all living things, comes.

Tet is an occasion for pilgrims and family reunions. It is a time when one pays respect to his/her ancestors and grandparents who have brought up him/her. It is an occasion when everyone sends each other best wishes for a new year, stops thinking about unhappy things and says good things about each other.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth month by lunar calendar, there is a rite to see Tao Quan (Kitchen God) off. The rite to say goodbye to the old year is held on the 30th or 29th day (if that month has only 29 days) of the twelfth month by lunar calendar. The rite to welcome the New Year is held at midnight that day. The rite to see off ancestral souls to return to the other world is often held on the 3rd day of the first month by lunar calendar when the Tet holidays finish and everybody goes back to work.

There are various customs practiced during Tet such as ancestral worshipping, visiting a person’s house on the first day of the new year, wishing Tet wishes, giving lucky money to young children and old people, wishing longevity to the oldest people, opening rice paddies or opening a shop.
