Hey, redditors!
We're landing in Hanoi tomorrow, and we're gonna spend 1.5 days there. We just got a SIM card, so cellular data internet won't be a problem for us. I just have a couple questions, preferably for the locals?

1. What are the BEST restaurants/bars and cafes around, in Old Quarter? We don't have much time in Hanoi, so we want to go to the best acclaimed places!
   
2. Which map APP do you recommend using? Is Google Maps sufficient enough?
   
3. Could you recommend some good Translator Apps? Specifically for Vietnamese-English, or is Google Translate sufficient?
   
4. How should we get cash? Should we exchange it at the airport from cash-to-cash, or withdraw local currency from ATMs? Or should we just carry our international cards and swipe it most of the time?
   
5. Where and how do we find rental e-bikes (motorcycles)? We thought of roaming the city on the motorcycle for a day, maybe. What's the price like?
   

All responses, advices, and suggestions are so very appreciated! Thank you to the lovely community in /hanoi. <3

Bách Việt của Nguyễn Cát Ngạc là một tác phẩm văn học nổi tiếng, được xuất bản năm 1950. Tác phẩm này đưa chúng ta đến với hình ảnh Lạc Long Quân, Âu Cơ và các vị vua Hùng - những nhân vật huyền thoại trong lịch sử dân tộc Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, điều thú vị ở đây chính là sự đan xen giữa lịch sử và truyền thuyết.
Lạc Long Quân và Âu Cơ, cùng các vị vua Hùng không chỉ là những nhân vật trong truyền thuyết, mà họ cũng được xem như là hình mẫu về sự khởi đầu và sự thống nhất của dân tộc Việt Nam. Điều này đã được lấy cảm hứng để tạo nên một tác phẩm có tính cách mạng, phản ánh tinh thần yêu nước và sự tự hào về bản sắc dân tộc.
Ảnh sách Sách: BÁCH VIỆT (lấy từ Cổ Nhân Khai Phóng)
Dựa vào phong thái văn chương của Bách Việt, cùng với nội dung từ đầu đến cuối, ta có thể nhận định rằng Nguyễn Cát Ngạc đã lấy nội dung từ một Bí Tịch nào đó để viết nên tác phẩm này. Bách Việt được phân loại vào thể loại "Dã Sử", điều này cho thấy rằng tác phẩm này không chỉ là sự sáng tạo hoàn toàn của Nguyễn Cát Ngạc mà còn dựa trên những nguồn tài liệu lịch sử có thật.
Bí Tịch mà Nguyễn Cát Ngạc có thể đã tham khảo có thể là từ tài liệu viết bằng chữ Nho tại một thư viện nào đó ở Trung Quốc, hoặc có thể nó đã có mặt tại Việt Nam trong thời kỳ Pháp thuộc. Trong quá trình xuất bản, việc ngăn cấm trích dẫn về Bí Tịch này có thể là do một số lý do chính trị hoặc tôn giáo.
Tuy nhiên, không thể phủ nhận rằng Nguyễn Cát Ngạc là một nhà văn có uy tín, chính trực và có trách nhiệm với dân tộc. Không giống như một số nhà văn khác chỉ mưu cầu vinh hoa phú quý, Nguyễn Cát Ngạc đã sử dụng kiến thức và tài năng của mình để tạo ra một tác phẩm có giá trị, phản ánh lịch sử và bản sắc dân tộc.
Nguyễn Cát Ngạc, bút danh Nam Xương, không chỉ là tác giả của Bách Việt mà còn là nhà viết kịch nổi tiếng của Việt Nam trong những năm 1930. Ông đã để lại dấu ấn sâu đậm trong lòng người Việt qua vở kịch Ổng Tây An Nam, một tác phẩm châm biếm về sự Pháp hóa của người Việt Nam.
Khi Nhật Bản xâm chiếm Đông Dương, Nguyễn Cát Ngạc đã bị xử tử. Điều này cho thấy ông không có ác ý gì với dân tộc, mà ngược lại, ông đã hy sinh bản thân vì sự độc lập và tự do của dân tộc.
Tóm lại, Bách Việt của Nguyễn Cát Ngạc không chỉ là một tác phẩm văn học giá trị về mặt nghệ thuật mà còn là một biểu hiện rõ ràng về tình yêu nước, lòng tự hào dân tộc và sự đồng cảm với số phận của dân tộc Việt Nam.

It was the most spectacular trial ever held in Vietnam, befitting one of the greatest bank frauds the world has ever seen.
Behind the stately yellow portico of the colonial-era courthouse in Ho Chi Minh City, a 67-year-old Vietnamese property developer was sentenced to death on Thursday for looting one of the country's largest banks over a period of 11 years.
It's a rare verdict - she is one of very few women in Vietnam to be sentenced to death for a white collar crime.
The decision is a reflection of the dizzying scale of the fraud. Truong My Lan was convicted of taking out $44bn (£35bn) in loans from the Saigon Commercial Bank. The verdict requires her to return $27bn, a sum prosecutors said may never be recovered. Some believe the death penalty is the court's way of trying to encourage her to return some of the missing billions.
The habitually secretive communist authorities were uncharacteristically forthright about this case, going into minute detail for the media. They said 2,700 people were summoned to testify, while 10 state prosecutors and around 200 lawyers were involved.
The evidence was in 104 boxes weighing a total of six tonnes. Eighty-five others were tried with Truong My Lan, who denied the charges and can appeal.
All of the defendants were found guilty. Four received life in jail. The rest were given prison terms ranging from 20 years to three years suspended. Truong My Lan's husband and niece received jail terms of nine and 17 years respectively.
"There has never been a show trial like this, I think, in the communist era," says David Brown, a retired US state department official with long experience in Vietnam. "There has certainly been nothing on this scale."
The trial was the most dramatic chapter so far in the "Blazing Furnaces" anti-corruption campaign led by the Communist Party Secretary-General, Nguyen Phu Trong.
A conservative ideologue steeped in Marxist theory, Nguyen Phu Trong believes that popular anger over untamed corruption poses an existential threat to the Communist Party's monopoly on power. He began the campaign in earnest in 2016 after out-manoeuvring the then pro-business prime minister to retain the top job in the party.
The campaign has seen two presidents and two deputy prime ministers forced to resign, and hundreds of officials disciplined or jailed. Now one of the country's richest women has joined their ranks.
Truong My Lan comes from a Sino-Vietnamese family in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon. It has long been the commercial engine of the Vietnamese economy, dating well back to its days as the anti-communist capital of South Vietnam, with a large, ethnic Chinese community.
She started as a market stall vendor, selling cosmetics with her mother, but began buying land and property after the Communist Party ushered in a period of economic reform, known as Doi Moi, in 1986. By the 1990s, she owned a large portfolio of hotels and restaurants.
Although Vietnam is best known outside the country for its fast-growing manufacturing sector, as an alternative supply chain to China, most wealthy Vietnamese made their money developing and speculating in property.
All land is officially state-owned. Getting access to it often relies on personal relationships with state officials. Corruption escalated as the economy grew, and became endemic.
By 2011, Truong My Lan was a well-known business figure in Ho Chi Minh City, and she was allowed to arrange the merger of three smaller, cash-strapped banks into a larger entity: Saigon Commercial Bank.
Vietnamese law prohibits any individual from holding more than 5% of the shares in any bank. But prosecutors say that through hundreds of shell companies and people acting as her proxies, Truong My Lan actually owned more than 90% of Saigon Commercial.
They accused her of using that power to appoint her own people as managers, and then ordering them to approve hundreds of loans to the network of shell companies she controlled.
The amounts taken out are staggering. Her loans made up 93% of all the bank's lending.
According to prosecutors, over a period of three years from February 2019, she ordered her driver to withdraw 108 trillion Vietnamese dong, more than $4bn (£2.3bn) in cash from the bank, and store it in her basement.
That much cash, even if all of it was in Vietnam's largest denomination banknotes, would weigh two tonnes.
She was also accused of bribing generously to ensure her loans were never scrutinised. A former chief inspector at the central bank was given a life sentence for accepting a $5m bribe.
The mass of officially sanctioned publicity about the case channelled public anger over corruption against Truong My Lan, whose fatigued, unmade-up appearance in court was in stark contrast to the glamorous publicity photos people had seen of her in the past.
But questions are also being asked about why she was able to keep on with the alleged fraud for so long.
"I am puzzled," says Le Hong Hiep who runs the Vietnam Studies Programme at the ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore.
"Because it wasn't a secret. It was well known in the market that Truong My Lan and her Van Thinh Phat group were using SCB as their own piggy bank to fund the mass acquisition of real estate in the most prime locations.
"It was obvious that she had to get the money from somewhere. But then it is such a common practice. SCB is not the only bank that is used like this. So perhaps the government lost sight because there are so many similar cases in the market."
David Brown believes she was protected by powerful figures who have dominated business and politics in Ho Chi Minh City for decades. And he sees a bigger factor in play in the way this trial is being run: a bid to reassert the authority of the Communist Party over the free-wheeling business culture of the south.
"What Nguyen Phu Trong and his allies in the party are trying to do is to regain control of Saigon, or at least stop it from slipping away.
"Up until 2016 the party in Hanoi pretty much let this Sino-Vietnamese mafia run the place. They would make all the right noises that local communist leaders are supposed to make, but at the same time they were milking the city for a substantial cut of the money that was being made down there."
At 79 years old, party chief Nguyen Phu Trong is in shaky health, and will almost certainly have to retire at the next Communist Party Congress in 2026, when new leaders will be chosen.
He has been one of the longest-serving and most consequential secretary-generals, restoring the authority of the party's conservative wing to a level not seen since the reforms of the 1980s. He clearly does not want to risk permitting enough openness to undermine the party's hold on political power.
But he is trapped in a contradiction. Under his leadership the party has set an ambitious goal of reaching rich country status by 2045, with a technology and knowledge-based economy. This is what is driving the ever-closer partnership with the United States.
Yet faster growth in Vietnam almost inevitably means more corruption. Fight corruption too much, and you risk extinguishing a lot of economic activity. Already there are complaints that bureaucracy has slowed down, as officials shy away from decisions which might implicate them in a corruption case.
"That's the paradox," says Le Hong Hiep. "Their growth model has been reliant on corrupt practices for so long. Corruption has been the grease that kept the machinery working. If they stop the grease, things may not work any more."

Imagine how differently western billionaires would act if they knew there were real world consequences
I don't mean execution, obviously. Basic accountability would sort out our algorithms and encourage responsible capitalism

Hello lại là tôi với thread cũ chia sẻ bức xúc về chuyện bị Chó ... Bậy trước nhà đây.
Hồi đó cũng có suy nghĩ tiêu cực là đánh bả chó nhưng nhờ anh em động viên nên đã từ bỏ ý định trên. Một số bác cũng hỏi thăm kinh nghiệm nên giờ chia sẻ thêm update:
.. Trộm vía :)) là tình hình vệ sinh ngày càng tệ đi nên người dân khu ngõ đã bắt đầu ý kiến ý cò nhiều hơn:
​
Xử lý triệt để
Mọi người cứ nói nhiều, mấy nhà chủ chó thì im thin thít. Đúng là bọn ch*!
Chốt là từ tháng 04 tổ dân phố sẽ cử ra 1 số người tình nguyện (trong đó có tôi =)) ) phục kích bắt chó thả rông trong khu mình để bàn giao lại phường xử lý theo quy định pháp luật.
Vừa nhân văn, vừa quyết liệt, hy vọng tạo ra nét văn hoá của tổ :))

So, I just found out about this subreddit. And I’m sorry for immediately asking for help. Second baby is coming and wife said we have to make room. I have two boxes in the garage of books I like, but don’t love, already. These are the books I use (or get inspo from and then proceed to make a very wrong version of the recipe) the most. I can’t make a decision on what to put away (need at least five). Some are a bit redundant—plenty and plenty more—but they have fun/different combos. Some are purely for inspo—manresa and faviken. What would y’all do?

I came across this screenshot on the internet, and I'm not sure what it means. Can anyone help me out?
The screenshot is from a group chat, and the conversation is about the four people mentioned in the title. The person who posted the screenshot says that they are the "most famous in Vietnam."
I'm not sure if this is true, so I'm hoping someone can help me out. Are Trấn Thành, Đàm Vĩnh Hưng, Hoài Linh, and Thủy Tiên really the most famous people in Vietnam?
If so, why? What have they done to achieve such fame?
And what does the comment in the screenshot mean? Is the person being serious, or are they being sarcastic?
