The Northern capital, Hanoi, is known as the artistic and cultural centre of the country, with Hoan Kiem Lake at heart of the city. In the Old Quarter, at the Temple of Literature and in the museums the past comes alive. Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), in the South, is the commercial powerhouse of the country, with International hotels, shiny new shopping malls, old markets, museums, China Town, and café-life. The city is truly multi-cultural. The country has seven UNESCO World Heritage sites which stand testament to its history. The Lunar New Year festival ‘’Tet’’ is the most important public holiday and falls on the first day of the first month of the Lunar calendar. This event is celebrated by Vietnamese everywhere. Cambodia: bordered by Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, and by the Gulf of Thailand. The population is 90% Khmer, and their rich culture is shaped around the beliefs and teaching of Buddhism. Cambodia is best known for the World Heritage site of Angkor Wat which lies 5.5 km from Siem Reap. Construction started in 1125 and it is the largest religious complex in the world.

    Welcome Remarks Welcome Remarks by Dr. Ho Thanh My Phuong, Director SEAMEO Regional Training Center (SEAMEO RETRAC) Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my great pleasure, on behalf of SEAMEO RETRAC, to welcome all of you to this International Conference on “Impacts of Globalization on Quality in Higher Education”. I am really delighted with the attendance of more than 150 educational leaders, administrators, professors, educational experts, researchers and practitioners from both Vietnamese and international universities, colleges and other educational organizations. You are here to share your expertise, experience, research findings and best practices on three emerging issues (1) Management and Leadership in Higher Education; (2) Teaching and Learning in Higher Education; and (3) Institutional Research Capacity and Application. In view of the major challenges in the era of globalization in the 21st century and the lessons learned during the educational reforms taking place in many countries, these topics are indeed important ones. It is without a doubt that education quality, particularly of higher education, plays a crucial role in the development of the human resources of a nation. Higher Education provides a strong foundation to uplift the prospects of our people to participate and take full advantage of the opportunities in Southeast Asia and beyond. Along this line, the impact of the globalization in the development of a quality educational system has to be emphasized. It is becoming increasingly important for global educational experts to get together to identify what should be done to enhance and strengthen the higher education quality, especially in the globalized context. It has become more imperative than ever for higher education to prepare students to meet the dynamic challenges of the globalized world.

  • Da Lat at One Time Da Lat Was an Ideal Holiday Retreat, Set Amongst the Low Hills of the Central Highlands
    Da Lat At one time Da Lat was an ideal holiday retreat, set amongst the low hills of the Central Highlands. It was originally founded in 1897 by Alexander Yersin and Dalat city was established in 1912. The city served as a hill station for the French trying to escape the heat of the plains and delta. The city enjoys a year round spring like climate and this lovely setting and ideal climate have made the city a hit with domestic and foreign tourists alike. Da Lat has a charming French district behind the Rap 3-4 cinema, which is well worth exploring. This is also where a number of the good hotels in Da Lat are situated. In the centre of town there is a large fresh produce market which sells some of the nicest strawberries (when in season) that you can ever hope to taste! Da Lat is also the centre of kitsch in Vietnam. Keep an eye out for the Dalat Cowboys, who ride around the town on horseback. You an also take a ride on a swan boat in the lake or buy one of the dozens of tacky trinkets on sale in the market. Da Lat has a lot worth visiting, especially if you are into kitsch. Dalat has the only eighteen hole golf course in Vietnam, and anyone can play a round there! A few hours could quite easily be spent riding bikes around the lake a stopping off at the interesting sights near it. The Botanical gardens also offers a lovely place to hang out.

  • East Dominated by Red River Basin and the Sea, the Fertile North-East Is the Cradle of Vietnamese Civilization
    North- East Dominated by Red River basin and the sea, the fertile north-east is the cradle of Vietnamese civilization. Much of Vietnamese history, not all of it happy, was made there. In particular, Vietnam had less then cordial relations with the Chinese, who invaded in the 2nd century BC and stayed for about 1000 years. Indeed, the last invasion took place as recently as 1979. On the most positive note, this part of Vietnam is showing some real economic potential. Much investor interest centers on Haiphong, Vietnam's largest seaport. However, it is the scenery-not history, politics and economics - that is the major tourist drawcard here. In particular, the spectacular coastline of Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay and Cat Ba island offer some of nature's most bizarre geologic displays. Add to that such interesting side attractions as Ba Be Lakes, the mountains around Cao Bang plus region's accessibility to China, and it's not hard to see why Vietnam's north-east is a major magnet for visitors. North-West North-west Vietnam offers travelers some of the country's most spectacular scenery. The mountainous areas are home to many distinct hill tribes, some still living as they have for generations, despite ever-increasing Vietnamese and Western influences. Highway 6 winds through beautiful mountains and high plains inhabited by Montagnards (notably the Black Thai, White Thai and H'mong). The Thai are most numerous in the lower lands, where they cultivate tea and fruit and live in attractive stilt houses. The hardy H'mong live in the bleaker high-lands over 1000m.
