Presented by Ha and Manh
A look into the values of money. How important is money to you?, financial stability and moods of survival. A play was presented on a lady on a boat that was about to sink, the driver could save her, but wanted money to do so.
Money and morality, would you sacrifice morality for money. What would you do for money. This play discussed into consideration the importance of money. Is it worth sacrificing your values for the sake of money. Again, in Vietnam, the standard of living is low, and generally, from what I believe, many people are looking for ways and means to earn money to earn a living for their families. To a certain extent, some Vietnamese would even look to every opportunity to earn extra money. Such as going rounds in a taxi, selling a bread for an exorbitant price, especially for foreigners, higher prices are often found in items sold for foreigners than when a Vietnamese buys something. This could be due the poor financial stability statues in Vietnam, much which can be done to improve upon the situation.

A look into jobs was also portrayed, and Shi Lei and myself gave a presentation on jobs in Singapore, whereby it is rather easy for University students to get part time jobs as tuition teachers, earning quite abit as compared to Vietnamese for each student. Another issue discussed was how much pockey money would a student get, which generally is not much as mentioned by students, one student of which mentioned that her parents only give her around $50 a month. Certainly below average. However, Vietnamese are known for their survivally quality and something they know is if the years of war didn't stop them, what could. Acceptable of the situation and the ability to survive withe what they have is one of the admireable traits of a general portion of Vietnamese people.
After the session, me and Shilei went to the houses of Thuy and My, of which Thuy's family runs a food business in the 1st level of the house. An expression of the closest of family in Vietnamese society and the concept of family and work, or time spent with family, as a key aspect to success in developing concept. We also played a local Vietamese game, and drew on the hands of the person who was last It was an enjoyable experience and we got to know how close Vietnamese friends were and the usuage of such games and also got to know a greater bond of friendships and uniqueness in Vietnam.
