The two streets will border Ban Nguyet (Crescent) Lake and Street 11N, and will feature a variety of food stalls. The opening of the two pedestrian streets is part of a program to boost nighttime economic growth and promote tourism in the city. Authorities in District 7 are responsible for ensuring food safety, fire prevention, environmental protection, and regular price checks in the two designated walkways. The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade had previously suggested that the municipal People’s Committee develop a nighttime economy focused on tourism at three locations in District 7. As planned, a tourism, cultural, and pedestrian street will be established at the Crescent Lake – Anh Sao Bridge complex in the Phu My Hung residential area.

Starting in 2003, Nam Phan and Doi have spent their mornings searching for medicinal herbs in the gardens and rice fields of Cai Rang District. They cut the herbs into small pieces, dry them, and then distribute them for free to local herbalists who distribute them to the community. Before their retirement, the couple raised ducks for a living. Now, their goal is to ensure that everyone in the community has access to a healthy life, regardless of their financial situation. Doi said, “He just laughs and refuses when people try to pay him for the herbs,” as she cleaned licorice in a river near their house. Finding the herbs is a difficult task. Nam Phan and Doi often row their boat for dozens of kilometers to find important herbs like polyscias fruticosa and licorice. “Thanks to my good health, sound mind, and a little luck, I am able to find herbs wherever I go. I feel really happy when people take my medicine and become healthier,” said Nam Phan. Nam Phan learned how to identify m...

The 36-year-old Serb was defeated by the local favorite Sinner earlier this week in the group stage, but he got his revenge with an outstanding performance, winning 6-3 6-3. A packed crowd at Turin’s Pala Alpitour had hoped to see the 22-year-old Sinner claim the biggest title of his career, but Djokovic was simply on another level. The world number one only dropped two points on his serve in a flawless first set, and once he broke Sinner’s serve in the fourth game, it was mostly one-way traffic. At one point, Djokovic won 14 consecutive points against the world number four before Sinner briefly halted the 24-time Grand Slam champion’s momentum. Sinner managed to avoid going down a double break as Djokovic surprisingly missed a routine passing shot. Sinner then had chances to break back in the sixth game, but he couldn’t convert either of them. Djokovic also failed to convert break points that would have given him a 5-2 lead, as a few errors crept into his game. The crowd did the...

Waale, also known as Dinh Khai Tam, answered a fan’s question about why he was unable to speak Vietnamese fluently despite growing up in Vietnam. He has a Vietnamese mother and a Danish father. He lived in Vietnam before relocating to Denmark when he was in high school. “I went to international schools when I was a kid and only spoke English,” Waale explained. “I also talked to my parents in English at home. “My mother tried to teach me Vietnamese, but I was too lazy to learn.” The 24-year-old player said he later regretted it when he was unable to communicate with his grandparents when visiting them in northern Thai Nguyen Province during the Lunar New Year holiday. “Even though I was never able to talk to my grandmother again after she passed away, I was determined to learn Vietnamese,” he said. Tim Waale shares his motivation to learn Vietnamese on his Instagram account. Photo: VBA Tuan Anh, the fan who asked Waale the question, thanked the player for his answer,...

The theme for this year’s Summit is Geopolitics of Technology. “India would like to use the presidency of G20 in many ways to reflect interests and concerns today of the global south as we feel they’re being sidelined and not just be a voice but would like to take into global south something we’ve tested and prepared at home,” said EAM at Global Tech Summit.
