Dude, for China, the news may not be worth to be mentioned here. But I think for us (or for me) the news is nice. It is a sign that Vietnam has become a "normal" country. By the way we love coffee house. That is the place where we sit with friends and talk about everything, day and night.

Noooooooooooo - why are you guys falling for an overhyped coffee chain? I love Vietnamese coffee and I do not want to see that replaced with some fancy chain

Couple of months back I vouched that Vietnamese coffee is the best in the world here in another thread and a picture I posted.

I think it is time (for some of us who likes) to move from the street to a coffee house. It is cleaner and nicer.

Government looks to boost social housing

HA NOI (VNS)— Social housing developers urged the Government to lower housing prices to make decent life more affordable for low-income citizens.

Specific suggestions included decreasing the minimal area of flats, providing investors with "clean" sites [where investors would not be responsible for land clearance] and proper basic infrastructure, exempting them from land-use tax and value-added tax and offering soft loans.

At present, each square meter in a social housing project costs VND10.6 million to VND13 million (US$ 504 – $620). Eligible customers are allowed to pay in installments, but many of them have returned booked houses, claiming they "cannot afford" them.

ADB’s US$212 mil loan for safe water project
12/18/2012 VOV

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide US$212 million to continue a project improving water service delivery to more than three million Vietnamese people.

The funding is the second tranche of a US$1 billion loan framework approved in 2011, designed to deliver an estimated 500,000 poor households their first-ever piped water connection. Vietnam achieved 92 percent overall coverage for urban water supply in 2006—albeit with uneven service levels—but over the next 10 years, more than 15 million people will receive improved water service under ADB financing.

Phan Khac Long, chairman cum CEO of Phan Vu, said the fact that Japan had accepted product quality of Phan Vu opened up opportunities for the company to ship concrete pipes to other markets rather than only Cambodia as of now.

“In 2010, we won confidence of Japan Pile Corp., the leading concrete pipe manufacturer of Japan, and last year they became the largest shareholder of Phan Vu with a 49% stake in the Phan Vu Quang Binh project.”

“The plant is scheduled to start operation next year with advanced technology transferred from Japan Pile, enough to meet the strict requirements of Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) A5373-2004,” Long told the Daily.

The shipment consisting of 151 concrete pipes worth some US$200,000 is for export to Wakachiku Construction Co. in Japan, marking the beginning of the business relationship between Phan Vu and Wakachiku Construction.

Masahiro Tatsumi, project manager of Wakachiku Construction, told local reporters that before choosing Vietnam, his company had surveyed the quality of centrifugal concrete pipes made in China, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

“In the coming time, we will continue to buy products of Phan Vu to build large projects like airports, seaports, bridges and tunnels,” he said.

Speaking at a press briefing on this event, Long informed Phan Vu had signed a contract with Taiwan’s Formosa to supply pre-stressed concrete pipes worth US$75 million.
