<p> Not only do I not recommend taking photos of illegal two-up games, but also photographing family members outside of the US Embassy can result in men with guns becoming irrate.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Vi dvs TravelBase,  planerar en gruppresa i vår. Målet är i första hand Bai Bang, men givetvis Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Parfympagoden, Den Hung och Tam Dao. Vi hoppas få en grupp på ca 20 personer, Då blir inte kostnaden så hög. Tack vare gruppresan så blir det billigare i Vietnam, men flygresan ligger utanför. Tanken är ca 10-12 dagar. Sedan är det fritt fram för den som vill att åka söderut eller fortsätta till Sapa eller andra platser. Vi hoppas resan går att genomföra. Vi är så många som bott och arbetat i Vietnam, och jag vet hur jag kände det när jag återvände dit förra året efter mer än 20 år. Jag kan säga att jag grät hejdlöst, det var så starka känslor att jag kunde inte kontrollera dem.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm303/casydegc/pow1-2.jpg" alt="" /><!--more--></p>
<p>La mañana del 6 de julio de 1966, los hombres de &#8220;Briarpatch&#8221; y del &#8220;Zoo,&#8221; dos campamentos de prisioneros de guerra al oeste de Hanoi, fueron reunidos y vestidos con camisas numeradas. Por la tarde, a los 52 hombre se les vendó los ojos y esposó por parejas, para acto seguido subirles en camiones y llevarlos a un estadio deportivo en el centro de la ciudad. “Vais a cumplir con el pueblo vietnamita&#8221;, les dijeron.</p>
<p>A pesar de no saber exactamente lo que les esperaba, los hombres (una docena de los cuales habían estado en régimen de aislamiento) estaban emocionados por ver a sus compañeros, comunicándose frenéticamente dando golpecitos en sus esposas. La alegría del contacto humano terminó cuando gritaron la orden de partir.</p>
<p>Guardias armados flanqueaban a los prisioneros, que de dos en dos marchaban hacia una multitud que los esperaba. Aunque se les ordenó agachar las cabezas, tanto el Capitán Jeremiah Denton como otros de sus compañeros, hicieron caso omiso. Los hombres fueron llevados en primer lugar por delante de las embajadas soviética y china, dirigiéndose después a la avenida principal de la ciudad, donde los esperaban 100.000 enfurecidas personas.</p>
<p><img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm303/casydegc/pow2-1-1.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Los “paseos” era una práctica muy habitual de Hanoi.</p>
<p>Al poco tiempo, los norvietnamitas comenzaron a gritar, golpear, patear y escupir a los americanos. Les arrojaban botellas, palos, restos de comida&#8230;etc, cayendo muchos de ellos conmocionados al suelo. Este macabro espectáculo se alargó durante dos millas, una hora.<br />
Cuando los POW eran llevados de vuelta al estadio, la multitud rompió en un motín. Ralph Gaither, uno de los supervivientes afirma que él junto con otros compañeros rezaron varios salmos porque veían la muerte cercana&#8230;. </p>
<p>Casi todos los hombres sufrieron  lesiones en la cabeza y en la cara, les faltaban dientes, muchos tenían la nariz rota y los ojos hinchados.  Después de otra media hora de terror, que fue el tiempo que tardaron los guardias en dispersar a la multitud, fueron cargados de nuevo en los camiones y llevados de vuelta a los dos campos de prisioneros. </p>
<p><img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm303/casydegc/pow.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>El espectáculo había sido planeado por el Gobierno norvietnamita para ganar apoyo para su causa. Se puso todo lo necesario en escena para producir imágenes propagandísticas y convencer al mundo de que los prisioneros americanos eran criminales de guerra merecedores de burla, mientras ellos, esposados, transmitían al mundo como trataban de proteger su seguridad y dignidad.</p>
<p>Desde EEUU se condenó rápidamente este acto, considerándolo otra infracción de la Convencion de Ginebra. Los funcionarios americanos también condenaron la amenaza de enjuiciar a los POW como crímenes de guerra.<br />
Los primeros Ministros Indira Gandhi (India )y Harold Wilson (Gran Bretaña) presionaron a la Unión Soviética para intentar poner freno a los norvietnamitas, y otras personalidades como el Secretario General de la ONU, U Thant  y el Papa Pablo VI mostraron su desaprobación al trato dado a  los POW.</p>
<p>Después de las críticas, el régimen de Ho Chi Minh retiró las amenazas y la propaganda del Norte dio un giro decisivo. Ho dijo a los periodistas invitados que los &#8220;criminales principales&#8221; no eran los pilotos capturados sino las personas que los enviaban (Johnson, Rusk y McNamara)  y que eran ellos los que debían ser llevados a juicio.<br />
A partir de entonces la opinión pública y el Gobierno americano tuvieron mucho más presente la situación de estos hombres a fin de lograr su libertad.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Gerade erleben wir in Hanoi einen schönen Spätherbst mit Temperaturen um 25° C! Am Wochenende hatte ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Gerade erleben wir in Hanoi einen schönen Spätherbst mit Temperaturen um 25° C!<br />
Am Wochenende hatte unsere Uni einen Ausflug nach Hai Duong für die Studenten des 2. Semesters und uns organisiert.<br />
Mit gemieteten Reisebussen meisterten wir den Trip nach Hai Duong, auch wenn die Vietnamesen im Bus wieder singen mussten <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  und wir zwischendurch einen anderen Weg einschlagen mussten, da eine Straße aufgrund eines Unfalls gesperrt war.<br />
Die Universität ist ja nach dem ehrenwerten Herrn <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nguyen_Trai">Nguyễn Trãi</a> benannt, für den es dort das Con Son Monument gibt, das wir uns mitsamt Pagoden angeschaut haben.</p>
<p>Einen Tag habe ich mich hier dann mal wieder<br />
als Tourist gefühlt <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <a href="http://kinginvietnam.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rimg06431.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-201" title="Ein-Säulen-Pagode" src="http://kinginvietnam.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rimg06431.jpg?w=225" alt="" width="162" height="216" /></a><br />
Habe mir mit ein paar Freunden die <strong>Ein-Säulen-Pagode</strong> (Chùa Một Cột) angesehen, zu der es auch eine nette Legende gibt:</p>
<p>Dem kinderlosen König Lý Thái Tông erschien im Jahre 1049 im Traum eine auf einer Lotusblüte sitzende Göttin, die ihm einen Sohn überreichte.<br />
Als er dann kurze Zeit später wirklich Vater wurde, ließ er die Pagode aus Dank in Form einer Lotusblüte erbauen.<br />
Die Originalpagode wurde leider schon 1954 von den Franzosen vor ihrer Flucht zerstört, sodass man sich nun nurnoch einen Nachbau anschauen kann.</p>
<p>Eben diese Pagode auf einem Pfahl befindet sich unweit des Ho Chi Minh-Mausoleums, ein massiger Betonklotz, dem man seine sozialistische Bauweise sehr ansieht.<br />
Den Besuch haben wir uns aber gespart, da die Lust auf Unmengen von Ausstellungsstücken von und mit Ho Chi Minh nicht so da war.<br />
Stattdessen bin ich mit Gregor in das <strong>Armeemuseum</strong> von Hanoi gefahren <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Dort gibt es zum einen ruhmreiche vietnamesische Armeefahrzeuge russischer Bauart zu sehen und zum anderen erbeutetes Kriegsgerät aus dem Krieg gegen die Franzosen und Amerikaner.<br />
Viele Vietnamesen haben natürlich wie wild Gruppenfotos vor den Panzern und Kampfflugzeugen gemacht, unglaublich ^^<br />
Im Innenteil des Museums gab es viele Fotografien, Schriften und Handfeuerwaffen zu sehen.<br />
Hier hat man relativ stark die Propaganda des Staates bemerkt: Es war von &#8220;unseren Truppen&#8221; die Rede, es gab Fotos von barmherzigen nordvietnamesischen Soldaten und  der Sieg des Krieges war eben überall ein großes Ding.<br />
Ist ja auch eine Leistung sich erst der Invasion der Franzosen und danach der Amerikaner im eigenen Land zu erwehren.</p>
<p>Draußen war es trotzdem interessanter, weil viel anschaulicher <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
In der Mitte des Hofs steckt nämlich ein B-52 Bomber senkrecht im Boden und von hier an lasse ich am besten die Bilder sprechen!<br />

<P style="text-align:left;">Thai cuisine is known for its balance of five fundamental flavours in each dish or the overall meal &#8211; hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty and bitter (optional). Although popularly considered as a single cuisine, Thai food is really better described as four regional cuisines corresponding to the four main regions of the country: Northern, North-eastern (or Isan), Central and Southern. Southern curries, for example, tend to contain coconut milk and fresh turmeric, while north-eastern dishes often include lime juice. Thai food is known for its enthusiastic use of fresh (rather than dried) herbs and spices as well as fish sauce.</FONT></SPAN></P><br />
<P style="text-align:left;"><SPAN lang="EN-GB"><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Not only having a chance to taste specialities of Thai food, visitors will enjoy traditional charming performances by Thai dancers during the week.&#160; </FONT></SPAN></P><br />
<P style="text-align:left;"><SPAN lang="EN"><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Thai dance is the main dramatic art form of Thailand. Thai dance, like many forms of traditional Asian dance, can be divided into two major categories that correspond roughly to the high art (classical dance) and low art (folk dance) distinction. </FONT></SPAN></P><br />
<P style="text-align:left;"><SPAN lang="EN-GB"><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">People can discover different tastes of Thai snacks or enjoy dinner buffet at Hanoi Melia Hotel during the week.</FONT></SPAN></P><br />

<DIV class="article_title_detail">ASEAN, China Prosecutors General meet in Hanoi </DIV><br />
<DIV style="height:8px;clear:both;overflow:hidden;"></DIV><br />
<DIV class="published_time">QĐND &#8211; Tuesday, November 24, 2009, 21:15 (GMT+7)</DIV><br />
<DIV style="text-align:justify;line-height:20px;width:550px;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12px;margin:0 auto;"></p>
<p><P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoBodyText">Nearly 200 Vietnamese and foreign delegates attended the opening ceremony of the 6th ASEAN-China Prosecutors General Conference in Hanoi on November 24. The conference will discuss ways to strengthen the fight against trans-national organised crime.<FONT size="3"></FONT></P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">In his speech of welcome, Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet said the globalisation process and the global economic recession have had a negative impact on all countries and territories, especially poor and underdeveloped ones. They have caused an economic slowdown, increased unemployment, widened the gap between rich and poor, eroded cultural values and traditional morality, and complicated trans-national organised crime.</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">“These challenges require governments to work closely together to weather the economic storm, formulate effective social welfare policies and enhance the operational efficiency of judicial agencies so as to maintain national security, socio-economic development and cultural tradition, and safeguard their citizens’ freedom and democracy,” said Mr Triet. </P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">He said the fine relationship between ASEAN and China has given a boost to cooperation in science, education, labour, environmental protection, law and the fight against trans-national organised crime. </P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">“Vietnam applauds the effective cooperation between judicial agencies of ASEAN and China, including the initiative to host the ASEAN-China Prosecutors General Conference,” said Mr Triet. </P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">He noted that Vietnam has been carrying out judicial reform and has achieved significant results. Criminal and civil laws and proceedings have been developed to build a law-governed state. The organisation and operation of Vietnamese judicial agencies have been renewed, the professional skills of judicial staff have been improved and international cooperation in the field has been broadened. </P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">The Vietnam National Assembly recently issued the Legal Aid Law and a number of other important laws relating to judicial activities, laying a firm foundation for combating crime and expanding international cooperation while respecting the principles of national independence and sovereignty and non-intervention in each other’s internal affairs.&#160; &#160;</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">Mr Triet proposed that countries develop reliable mechanisms for sharing information, conducting research and making long-term forecasts about trans-national organised crime in line with international law and multilateral agreements. </P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">According to Tran Quoc Vuong, head of the Vietnam Supreme People’s Procuracy, combating trans-national crime has been an important task of the national programme on crime prevention and control. Vietnam has cooperated closely with the United Nations and other countries in this field by signing a number of agreements, including the UN Conventions on drug control, the UN Convention against Trans-national Organised Crime, and the UN Convention against Corruption.</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">“Vietnam attaches great importance to legal assistance activity with other countries, considering this an effective way to combat trans-national organised crime,” said Mr Vuong. “Vietnam is committed to full and timely cooperation with other countries’ procuracy agencies and hopes to receive assistance from these organisations in return.”</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">The conference will end on November 25.</P><br />

<p>Just a few photographs from around Hanoi over the last few days. I&#8217;m busy editing a bunch of images, shooting a few small assignments and getting a CV together for a big project proposal. Fun stuff. These are outtakes from some recent shoots. A portrait of one of my translators. My shadow looming over the Red River. Lilies and a nice calm lake somewhere in the suburbs. And a cow calmly grazing along the levee. Simple things. Nice things. File it all under why I love Hanoi.</p>

<p>I moved into the new flat and once I&#8217;d set up the laptop, the additional screen, the internet cable and the speakers, there were cables everywhere.  I bunched them all up together and secured them with a twist of wire.</p>
<p>In Hanoi, the telecommunications explosion also means there are wires everywhere. There has been talk of digging up the city and putting them underground but in the meantime &#8211; there&#8217;s a quick fix.</p>
<p>Place your ladder directly onto wires.  Climb up without a safety harness.  Loop a rope over the many wires and get your mates at street level to pull down.  Tie the bunched up wires together and hope that none have been damaged in the process.</p>
<p>Oh and do it on a weekday.  On a busy street.  And don&#8217;t stop the traffic.</p>
<p>Now that&#8217;s cable management.</p>

<p>En av de hundratals kvinnor som sitter längs med gatorna i Hanoi och säljer lotter. Jag har ingen aning om vad man kan vinna eller hur det fungerar men de tycks vara väldans populära. Fläkten som hon har med sig ut på gatan skvallrar om att bilden togs för några veckor sedan när jag fortfarande bodde i tropikerna. </p>

<p>The inimitable and award-winning <a href="http://burnmagazine.org">Burn Magazine</a> is currently featuring a selection of my Orphans of Agent Orange work on its website. It can be seen <a href="http://www.burnmagazine.org/essays/2009/11/aaron-joel-santos-orphans-of-agent-orange/">HERE</a>. Agent Orange/dioxin poisoning is something that has been covered numerous times and by some great photographers, including <a href="http://www.photoshelter.com/c/julianwainwright">Julian Abram Wainwright</a> and <a href="http://justinmott.com/">Justin Mott</a> right here in Hanoi, but in the end, after being here for a while, I decided that I wanted to explore the subject matter as well, as it is such an important aspect of Vietnam&#8217;s recent history. </p>
<p>I spent some time talking to the program director of the Friendship Village, where the images were taken, and sitting with the kids and hanging around for a few days before really taking my camera out. I didn&#8217;t have any kind of time line or agenda, and I think it really helped to slow down and consider what I was doing there. I don&#8217;t do that often enough.</p>

<p>Det är dags för en comeback till bloggen. Det slumpar sig att bli en målning av ett foto. En av de hundratals kvinnor som sitter längs med gatorna och säljer lotter. Jag har ingen aning om vad man kan vinna eller hur det fungerar men de tycks vara väldans populära. Fläkten som hon har med sig ut på gatan skvallrar om att bilden togs för några veckor sedan när jag fortfarande bodde i tropikerna.</p>

<p><P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">A print shop owner in Hanoi has been detained after his shop was found to have produced around 20 fake university graduation certificates for VND13 million each.&#160; </P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">Police found that customers contacted Bui Duc Thuan via the Internet, paying him VND13 million (US$727) for a university degree certificate and VND12 million for a college or high school certificate, local newswire Vnexpress said Thursday.</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">Before the print shop was busted this week, police had come across several accounts selling the degrees and certificates on the Internet.</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">An investigation was launched and Thuan was caught last Friday on Hang Dao Street holding six fake university graduation certificates including those for Hanoi National Economics University, Hanoi University of Polytechnics and Ho Chi Minh City National Economics University, together with notarized copies of academic records.</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">The 25-year-old told the police that the customers would send him their photos and personal information first and they would set up a meeting, usually for the day after, to hand over the certificates.</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">Thuan confessed he knows the signatures and stamps of several ministries, departments and ward People’s Committees in Hanoi so he could provide other fake documents demanded by customers, police said.</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">Hanoi police seized more than 200 stamps with names of colleges and universities in Hanoi, HCMC and other provinces. They have confiscated all the machines used in the business that opened in September.</P><br />
<P style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;" class="MsoNormal">Thuan said he bought the stamps for VND100 million from a stranger online.</P><br />
