5/14
I have a three-year-old son who loves his toys, which I buy here.
I think the toy market in Viet Nam is very interesting because in Japan toys are aimed both at children and adults. We can't find "Toy's-like Toys".
However, there is a safety issue. Almost all the toys I have bought here were made in China, and they can be dangerous because they are not well finished.
In addition, I hear that the paint used can be toxic, especially with plastic toys.
When we buy toys for our son, we never buy plastic toys that have been painted. We are also careful about sharp edges.
The Vietnamese Government should strengthen quality control standards. I see quality control stickers on toys from China that I find suspect.
I do think that quality standards here are quite low. Imports should be rigorously tested.

In August, I will take my family to Phu Quoc Island for the first time. So far, we have been to beach resorts in Vung Tau, Phan Thiet, Nha Trang and Da Nang. Our favourite was Nha Trang.
Access from the airport to central Nha Trang and the beach can be a hard trip for people prone to car sickness. But the coastal environment offers more than other destinations. There are optional tours such as boat trips, fishing trips, scuba diving tours and marine activities.
And one of the biggest pluses in favour of Nha Trang is the pleasant manner of those working in local hotels, tourism offices, restaurants and shops.
At some resorts, people engaged in the industry are not accustomed to keeping a distance between themselves and tourists.
The Vietnamese Government should improve training and education for people in the tourism sector,especially for beach resort staff.
Another positive factor for beach resorts in Viet Nam is that there are no blatant sex services as in other Asian destinations. In other Southeast Asian countries, open-air strip-shows are depressing.

Many criminal acts have supposedly been committed in Japan by persons - not only the young - infected by violent and sexual video-games or on-line-games.
But I don't think so.
Violent and sexual games can spark a crime but I believe one reason for juvenile delinquency is lack of communication between the young and their elders.
I think it's important to regulate and control games that have a harmful influence but this is difficult to do when some adults are not worried about playing violent and sexual games in front of the young.
We have to consider how to create more time to communicate with our children.
When I was a schoolboy, I took part in sports club activities every day after school and had no time to think about sex or violence.
At home, I always communicated with my mother and told her about the day. Later, I did my homework and went to bed.
In Viet Nam, I don't have video games and don't use internet in my home. After 5pm, I return home as quickly as possible to spend time with my son.
