#Vietnam - Hanoi joins UNESCO's Creative Cities Network


Vietnam's capital city is one of 66 cities that were designated by UNESCO in early November as Creative Cities in various categories.
Hanoi got the UNESCO honour in the ‘Design’ category for its developed design industry, opportunities for creating designs from natural materials and conditions and the presence of active design groups.


Following the designation, the city plans to issue a long-term action program and connect its policies to promote cultural industries and enrich cultural resources, municipal authorities said.

It will also help other Vietnamese cities make it into the Creative Cities Network and contribute to the network’s development.

The Creative Cities Network was launched in 2004 to promote cooperation with and between cities that have identified creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable urban development.

Besides Hanoi, 11 other Asian cities entered the list this time: Wonju and Jinju in South Korea, Yangzhou and Nanjing in China, Ambon in Indonesia, Asahikawa in Japan, Bangkok and Sukhothai in Thailand, Cebu in the Philippines, and Hyderabad and Mumbai in India.

The network now has a total of 246 cities in seven categories: music, arts and folk crafts, design, cinema, literature, digital arts, and gastronomy.

By winning the UNESCO recognition, Hanoi will get opportunities to cooperate with other creative cities in the network and can market itself as an attractive destination for visitors.

Last July the city celebrated 20 years of it being granted the "City for Peace" title by UNESCO, recognizing its contributions to the struggle for peace, its efforts to promote equality in the community, protect the environment, promote culture and education, and care for younger generations.

Hanoi has a number of architectural works with a long history like the Thang Long Imperial Citadel, a UNESCO-recognized cultural heritage site; the Hanoi Opera House; the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum; and the Nhat Tan Bridge, according to the city tourism department.

2018 was a successful year for Hanoi’s tourism sector with a record high 5.74 million foreign visitors, up 16 percent against 2017. The capital received 4.7 million foreign tourists in the first nine months of this year, up 10 percent year-on-year.

Staffing Request

.

A big business development group offer me to set-up in Bangkok a (international) Staffing Network.
Yes, a great challenge and opportunity.
.
But this is very difficult in Bangkok / Thailand
The most to employ people can not write their own name in a common language.
The education level in Thailand is very low, the most to prefer playing games and be lazy.

I ask before started, to search first in the surrounding countries, like Myanmar / Cambodia / Vietnam. These countries speak and write better in a common language. 

But the want started from Bangkok. 

I must good thinking before I take the challenge.

"Losing Reality"

"Losing Reality"

Look around you, nobody have time more for each other.
Everybody is busy with something.
The most sit the whole day with their fucking nose in their mobile.
Playing games. and not hear anything beside them.
The lose the world, reality, and there (best) friends.
When I walk in a Bangkok on the streets with there many "Game-Shops" the sit day and night full of youngsters playing games.
Is this our future?
When you want to employ one of them, the stupid same hell, the only have knowledge about games.
Not one of them, can write their own name in a common language. and have a school license in there pocket with English education.

It is good to have a mobile phone, but use it with your brains.
Not lose your good friends and destroy your life with "Games"
