Mexico, Indonesia Sign Oil Cooperation Deal

Mexican President Felipe Calderon and his Indonesian counterpart Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono announced an oil cooperation agreement between the state-run oil companies of the two countries. The announcement came after a meeting between the two leaders in Mexico Monday.
Petroleos Mexicanos and Pentamina Indonesia agreed to cooperate in development, scientific and technological investigation, and exploration and drilling. Calderon and Susilo, both of whom attended the G-20 summit in Washington, also said that another agreement in the agriculture, education, and diplomatic training sectors was signed between the two countries.
The Indonesian Export Development agency opened its representative office in Mexico, it was reported. It is expected that the office would help Indonesian products to enter the United States through trade agreements.
The two leaders are also due to travel to Lima, Peru over the weekend for the 21-nation Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”
― Graham Greene, The Quiet American

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
