3. Hanoi's Rich History (Lịch sử phong phú của Hà Nội)

Tom Blake, June 15

Hanoi is the capital city of Vietnam. Over eight million people live in Hanoi and it is the second most populated city in the country. The weather is not as hot as in the south and the coolest time of year is from September to November. This is one of the best times to visit. Hanoi is one of the oldest cities in Vietnam and has a long and interesting history. You can see many beautiful traditional Vietnamese and French buildings around the capital. Hanoi also has the most universities in Vietnam and you will find students from all around the country studying there. Although some restaurants are expensive in Hanoi, you can eat great food for a good price. You should definitely visit Hanoi when you come to Vietnam.

We asked two experts. Here's what they said:

Patrick K. Fletcher, futurologist 

“Learning in 2050, say, will probably be very different to how it is now.

I don't think the education system we have today will still exist. In my opinion, education will focus on e-learning, and students will attend virtual classrooms. I think students will connect to the internet using artificial intelligence, so they won't need to remember facts anymore. Actual schools and classrooms will probably be very rare. I believe the few schools that still exist will be for children from rich families, and they will mainly have robot teachers. But children with special needs will still go to school with actual teachers because I don't think robots can take care of the children yet.”

Shara Nguyễn, Vice Principal, Everlake School

“We started testing a variety of e-learning technologies about a year ago to find out what really works. For example, we tried a variety of apps for giving and marking assignments. Our studies showed that both teachers and students found these very useful, and the cost was reasonable, so I think we're going to see a lot of schools doing this in future. We also had good success with interactive whiteboards, but right now they are too expensive, and most schools in our area can't afford more than one or two for the whole school. We're definitely not going to see them in all schools for a long time.”

1. What would happen if we all stopped eating meat? (Điều gì sẽ xảy ra nếu tất cả chúng ta ngừng ăn thịt?)

2. Why are people eating less meat? (Tại sao mọi người ăn ít thịt?)

Saving the environment doesn't have to be expensive. You don't need to buy an electric car - just change your diet! Here are some of the biggest benefits of choosing a plant-based diet: 

We would reduce greenhouse gases.

According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), farmed livestock produces 14.5% of the world's greenhouse gases. If we all ate plant-based diets, we would reduce food-related greenhouse gases by 70% by 2050.*

We would save water.

Farming takes up about 70% of all freshwater use and nearly one-third of that is for livestock.** Do you know how much water is used to produce just one kilogram of beef? Over 15,000 liters! Beans, on the other hand, need about 4,000 liters per kilogram and vegetables need just over 300 liters on average. ***

We would save forests and wild animals.

In many parts of the world, forests are being cut down to make land for farming. Deforestation leads to many problems, but the most obvious one is that wild animals lose their homes. According to FAO, of all the land we use for farming, 77% is used for livestock, including the land we use to grow their food **. If we ate less meat and planted more food for humans, we would have more land for forests and wild animals.

Eating less meat is one of the best ways to reduce your impact on the planet. If you start eating more plant-based foods, you might even like vegetables more than meat!

Hi, everyone! We arrived safely in Paris on Saturday evening. It was very windy and rainy, so the flight was a bit bumpy. Emma screamed when the plane landed! Hilarious, lol! The weather is much better now. Still cloudy, but it's stopped raining.

We've already been up the Eiffel Tower. We took the lift up, but walked back down the stairs. We've also walked down the Champs Elysées. The shops there are really expensive, so I didn't buy anything! ! Yesterday we went on a boat trip on the river Seine and then visited the Louvre art gallery. We saw the Mona Lisa, which was a bit disappointing. It's tiny!

Tomorrow we are going to visit Disneyland. It isn't far from here. Can't wait! Then on Friday we're going shopping (but not on the Chams Elysées!) — I want to buy some souvenirs. Will post another entry tomorrow when we're back from Disneyland.

Sorry I haven’t posted since Friday! Arrived in Tri An (Dong Nai Province) two days ago with Joanna after a tiring journey by coach from Ho Chi Minh City. There were roadworks on the motorway and an accident, so the Journey took five hours instead of two. We're staying in a small inn. It’s near a lake. The weather is sunny and dry and I can see a small wood from my window.

We've already been kayaking on the lake. The kayaking was fun and fantastic, but a bit scary! Tomorrow we're going biking.

We're going to hire bikes from a shop near the inn. Really looking forward to it! Watch out for more blog entries in the next few days!

2. Man Walks to Ho Chi Minh City in 35 Days

(Người đàn ông đi bộ đến thành phố Hồ Chí Minh trong 35 ngày)

Minh Phan, November 1st

A 23-year-old Vietnamese man has raised nearly 135 million VND for charity after completing a 1,700 km walk from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. B.N.Q. started his journey on May 25th, 2020 and reached the capital in just 45 days. The young man thought it was one of the most amazing experiences of his life. “I wanted to do something meaningful for me, for my life,” he said. He started the expedition without any money in his pocket. “Making the journey without money was a really hard challenge,” he added. The young man said he often washed dishes or worked in restaurant kitchens or at people's houses in return for some food. At night, he often slept on park benches. Seven days into his travels, Q. decided his journey would be meaningful if he did something for the community. He posted the idea on a social media website to call for donations. By the time his charity walk finished, he had raised nearly 135 million VND. He decided to use the money to help build classrooms for poor children in Lai Châu, a province in the northwest of Vietnam. “I want to inspire young people to live a meaningful life by doing little but kind things,” he said.
