True.

Recently through my forum, i got to know quite a few educated viets. Their language is immaculate. The grammar and all is perfect.

The point here is that its not because the WLs are speaking 'local' viet. Its that they are speaking incorrect viet. Just like how we speak singlish. Haha

April 30, 1975 recounted through US eyewitness
================================================

I was there that fateful day, April 30, 1975, when South Vietnam unconditionally surrendered to North Vietnam, ending what came to be called "The American War" of more than 10 years.

(Editor's Note: This was written by George Esper who retired from the Associated Press in 2000 after 42 years with the wire service, including 10 in Vietnam. He now teaches journalism at West Virginia University.)

It became obvious weeks before that the North Vietnamese would prevail as their forces swept southward, with little or no opposition, to the edges of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, renamed Ho Chi Minh City.

American combat forces had already pulled out of the country two years earlier, leaving the South Vietnamese to fend for themselves.

The day before the fall, North Vietnamese gunners bombarded Tan Son Nhat Air Base with rockets and artillery for three hours, hastening the pullout of the remaining 1,000 Americans and as many South Vietnamese as possible.

U.S. evacuation helicopters flying from aircraft carriers landed on the roof of the American Embassy and at Tan Son Nhat Air Base. Hundreds of South Vietnamese tried to get over the 14-foot wall surrounding the embassy in a stampede to get on the helicopters.

Battle-garbed U.S. Marine guards and civilians beat them back with pistol and rifle butts, fists and feet, to keep the embassy from being overrun.

The panic was so widespread that people across the country, fearing a bloodbath that never materialized, sought ways to get out of South Vietnam, including bribery, offering gold.

Some Vietnamese followed me everywhere, even camping out at my apartment, in hopes they could go with me. One South Vietnamese general, responsible for the defenses of Saigon, sought our assistance in escaping. When I told them I wasn't leaving, they wouldn't believe me.

The American force of more than 40 carriers, amphibious ships and other vessels were jammed with thousands of refugees. About 1,000 Americans and 6,000 Vietnamese were evacuated by helicopter during the final U.S. pullout.

On Wednesday morning, April 30, 1975, U.S. Marines fired a red smoke grenade to guide a helicopter in for a landing on the roof of the American Embassy.

Eleven Marines jumped aboard and were airborne within four minutes. They had served as the rear guard and were the last Americans to be flown out of Saigon from among 800 Marines who had provided security for the evacuation.

After the American airlift ended at 7:52 a.m., hundreds of Vietnamese civilians rushed into the embassy compound and onto the roof of a nearby building, hoping for more helicopters.

There would be none.

Two hours later, Saigon announced its unconditional surrender in a radio and television broadcast. South Vietnamese soldiers marched from their outposts to stack their weapons in surrender. They were beaten men.

A police officer walked to a war memorial in the park in Lam Son Square. His eyes were filled with sadness, his voice with despair, as I interviewed him. "Fini! Fini!" he exclaimed.

Suddenly, he saluted the memorial, raised his pistol to his head and fired, falling mortally wounded at my feet. South Vietnamese soldiers tore off their uniforms and boots on the streets in efforts to disassociate themselves from the Saigon government and its American supporters.

During the 10 years I was in Vietnam, I often wondered how the war would end. Two young North Vietnamese soldiers walked into the AP offices and over some Coke and pound cake, they shared with us their feelings. They showed us snapshots of their families.

North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese, American, I realized we were much the same with the same hopes and the same emotions. That's how the war ended for me.

Football gambling goes virtual in Vietnam
================================================== =
With the advent of computer games like Pes 2010, football gamblers in Vietnam no longer have to fear match-fixing in European leagues or being arrested by the police -- they can play the game themselves as well as bet on it.

Betting on a single cyber-game lasting a quarter of an hour can exceed US$5,000 and winning also depends on skill with a mouse or joystick, with each “player” controling a side of 11 virtual footballers.

Pes versions 2010 or 2011 are the current favorites. Punters can either play the game at home with others or through intermediaries who have clients to play and bet.

The broker gets a bonus of 5 – 10 percent of the stakes.

One such intermediary, A of Linh Trung Ward in HCMC’s Thu Duc District, assured Tuoi Tre that it is totally safe from the police.

“Sometimes, even the owner of an internet shop or a guest sitting next to you does not know that we are gambling,” he said.

“But if you are interested in safety, we just come to other shops deeper in small lanes with few passers-by.”

The stake for a game should be at least VND500,000 (US$24) to attract other gamblers, he said.

“Here, most of gamblers are university students staying in the area.”

A brief survey by Tuoi Tre found dozens of internet shops in HCMC where Pes 2010 and 2011 are available all 24 hours.

In many cases, their owners also act as intermediaries between gamblers.

T, the owner of one such shop in Linh Trung, also known as “students village,” said gamblers have two options – either to bet on goals or the match result.

“Some prefer to bet on goals scored to win or lose quicker,” he said.

Many internet shops on Nguyen Cu Trinh Street in District 1 have become regular haunts for gamblers.

Gamblers at big-money games usually negotiate terms like duration and the referee who keeps the wager money. The venue is usually kept a secret until the last minute to make sure the police do not get wind of it.

Thuong of Tan Phu District, an intermediary, said gamblers have to hand over stakes to the referee or shop owner to prevent foul play.

However, the latter is becoming less and less important as a point person since gamblers just go online and leave their contact details.

In fact, I did not contact her anymore because she told me she only went to hotel with me, but then she gave me so many sperm brothers. Well. Maybe I am too naive. I should have knew this by myself.

Gambling via mobile phone, the new trend
=================================================
For gamblers in Vietnam, online games are old hat; the latest trick is gambling on mobile phone networks.

In a country where gambling and betting are totally banned, ironically, the gambling services are being publicly provided by the Hanoi-based Bien Xanh (Blue Sea) media and technology company via its website www.doden.vn.

The website is lawful and registered to offer online games, lottery results, and chat forums.

To gamble on it, a punter needs to have a mobile phone enabled with GPRS, the mobile data transfer service, and sign up for membership to access the online games.

A member can log into different rooms offering games like chess, poker, and dozens of other card games.

The poker room is divided into sub-rooms depending on the stakes involved in each game – VND1,000, VND5,000, and so on.

Punters can buy virtual money known as Xu, Keng, Un, or Ro depending on the game, to gamble by paying real money which will just get deducted from their mobile phone account upon sending an SMS.

But what happens mostly is that the gamblers, who cannot redeem their winnings from the website, just do so from each other. In other words, winners sell their virtual money to other gamblers.

Websites like www.doden.vn entice gamblers with thinly disguised exhortations like “Mobile phone users can well interact with one another for online chess / card games.”

Tuoi Tre witnessed many gamblers playing in poker rooms late at night, with some owning up to 138 million Ro of virtual money.

Tuoi Tre contacted an official at Bien Xanh company and was informed that the firm operates the website with a license.

However, the firm does flout current regulations that service providers can only provide online games 14 hours a day with a break from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am.

Besides, the rules also require players to declare their personal identification to get membership.

Tran Vuong Thao, a Ho Chi Minh City lawyer, said a games provider violating the law could be fined up to VND50 million (US$2,380), while anyone found guilty of gambling could be imprisoned for at least three months.
