息子の通う幼稚園の運動会が来月の頭にあります。
かけっこやマスゲーム？の練習に余念が無いようです。親に似ず運動神経がよく、かけっこも早いとの事。ビデオ撮影が楽しみだ。

実は優しくて、人に気をつかうベトナム人
ベトナム人複数とカラオケに行ったとします。
物凄く歌が下手な人がいたとします。笑っちゃうくらいに。
周りのベトナム人たちは一緒に歌うようにします。笑わないように（下手な人の歌が聞こえないように）。下手な歌声が隠れるように。
優しいベトナム人。人に気をつかうベトナム人。

In Ho Chi Minh City, there are some events relating to Ha Noi's 1,000th anniversary but they are not as impressive as the ones taking place in Ha Noi.
I've also seen some TV programme about it but feel the event lacks enthusiasm in HCM City.
I think that this event could potentially be transformative for Viet Nam's global image but I am not sure that enough preparation has taken place for that to happen.

今週の採用記事（ハノイにおける南京虫の大発生について）
So far, I have not found bedbugs in my home or office both in Japan and Viet Nam and I don't know exactly why that is. In Japan, we don't have bedbugs nowadays because of effective pesticides. However, I have some experience of bugs such as fleas and ticks in my home, Viet Nam. I always use effective pesticides used by the Japanese army to get rid of them and insect powders which are used by the US Army to avoid being stung.
Once this kind of problem appears, public health centres usually inspect and try to find the cause immediately, and educate people widely. Public health centres in Japan usually provide this as a free service not only for this kind of issue, but also other issues, so people do not hesitate to keep in touch with them.
People think that an unhygienic environment is the main reason for this problem but I worry climate change or chemical substance are the culprits.
The Vietnamese Government should take measures to sweep away the image of this issue because many tourists think that Viet Nam is one of the safest, cleanest countries in the world.

そろそろ日本人も本音を言おうよ。
中国とまたもめてますね。
お人よしの日本人、また政府が謝罪でもする気でしょうか？そんなことなら中国の領土の一部にでもなれや！
そろそろ本音で物事言おうぜ、日本人よぉ！

In fact, I am also sad to see old buildings and ancient streets torn down for development not only in Ha Noi but also in HCM City.
In my country, there is the same situation especially in old cities such as Kyoto, Nara, which are ancient capital cities. In those cities, government and local self-governing bodies co-operate together and try to preserve ancient areas. They also try to develop new areas, which is not a blot on the landscape. First, they designate the ancient area as an important cultural assets area and in this area no one can destroy or remove old buildings or ancient streets without permission. If people would like to remove buildings or ancient streets, government and local self-governing bodies designate the new area to preserve them and people follow the regulations.
I'm sure that Viet Nam needs development, but it needs to think about preserving old buildings or ancient streets, educating the youth about Viet Nam's development.

I saw big size paper motorcycles, cars, mobile phones and houses burnt as offerings when I came to Viet Nam. After my Vietnamese wife explained things, I realised comparisons could be made with the Bon festival in the middle of August.
At that time, we have a custom called Mukaebi, where a small fire is lit at the gate of a house in the evening of the first day to welcome back departed souls. Then, on the final night of the festival, there is Okuribi, a ceremonial bonfire to see off the spirits.
We also make a horse out of cucumber at Mukaebi so that the spirit of the departed person can return to earth faster. We also make a cow out of eggplant so the spirits return to the other world more slowly.
Comforting the spirit of the dead is different in many countries, but perhaps it can be argued that too much is spent on offerings in Viet Nam nowadays. Some might argue that people go to the other world without discrimination, so what is the point of spending so much money?
But I believe it is important to explain the meaning of rituals, as I always explain the meaning of both Japanese and Vietnamese rituals to my son.
