June 2, 2012

LookAtVietnam – The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will impose administrative fines, withdraw show licenses or ban artists from appearing on the stage from 6 months to 2 years if they change the content of their performances or wear scanty costumes.

Singers and models who were criticized for wearing scanty clothes.

The announcement released by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on May 31 said that the Ministry has assigned the Performing Art Agency to send a dispatch to all radio and television stations to ask them not broadcast art shows in which artists lip-sync, perform unlicensed works or wear scanty clothes.
The Ministry will also amend Decree 75 on administrative fines on violations in performing arts. Accordingly, artists who willingly change their performances, wear scanty clothes, have rude statements or lip-sync will face tough punishment, including withdrawal of performance license and being banned from stage from 6 months to 2 years.
Today the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held a conference on addressing violations in performing activities in Hanoi.

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.”

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.
