Vietnamese girls in ao dai dress

A photo hits on Facebook when one of the three girls posts on a social media platform. One of them who is studying in a university posts this photo on Facebook with the following questions: Who is a mom? and who are daughters? that generates a wave of argument. Because their appearances don't show many gaps in age, it is hard to identify who is the mother. Some say the one in green (standing on the left) is the mother and the rest are the daughters. Others assure the middle is the mother. 

How about you?

Reviving captured bears

A bear cries with a pain due to the extraction of bile

A vice of raising bears for the extraction of bile is rampant across Vietnam that creates an alarm.

A bear is captured in a small cage of a household in Vietnam. Bear's living condition is inadequate. People feed bears to extract a bear's bile that makes it experience the suffering. It is illegal to raise bears in the inhabitant residence; however, earning money blinds owners, ignoring a bear's bodily tolerance. 

According to the 2015 stats of the Department of Forestry Protection, only hundreds of bears live in nature. A total of 1245 bears are reared in farms of households across Vietnam. Because the price of bile goes down, the husbandry of bears is not profitable that householders don't take care of them and leave them starved and thirsty. 

Animal Asia Association provides a 24/24 rescue service in which they receive telephone calls to rescue captured bears across Vietnam. If you are interested in this kind of activities, let's visit its facebook.

A mid-autumn lantern people are scared to buy

The mid-autumn that falls on August 15 of the lunar calendar is a traditional festival for children to hold lanterns going in a parade from the end of an ally to the other. In the evening, they kindle candles that are put inside a lantern. Along with their next door friends, they take a line, each of them holds a lantern and sing mid-autumn songs. That's a game of children on this occasion. 

Lanterns are produced in various forms of a fish, butterfly, plane, ship, but rarely a coffin with a cross at the end as featured in a photo above. Maybe, this is the first time such a kind of a lantern is produced by a weird idea. Who dares to buy such a kind of a lantern!
