XIN CHỮ

I  ask for the word NHÂN
To remind myself
To be live worthy as a human being
I ask for the word TÂM
To learn to open my heart
For others
I ask for the word ĐỨC
To be strong enough
To stand firm in life
I ask for the word  TÀI
To give a hand
For my Country  

Tôi xin một chữ NHÂN
Để nhắc mình nhớ mãi
Sống xứng đáng làm người
Tôi xin một chữ TÂM
Để lòng thêm bao dung
Biết sống vì người khác
Tôi xin một chữ ĐỨC
Để đời còn đủ sức
Đứng vững giữa trần ai
Tôi xin một chữ TÀI
Để góp một bàn tay
Xây dựng cho Quê Hương

CHÚC MỪNG NĂM MỚI 2012

Xuân về xin chúc bà con

Sức khỏe, hạnh phúc, tâm hồn thảnh thơi

An khang thịnh vượng trong đời

Vạn sự như ý, sáng ngời tương lai

Xuân về xin chúc bạn hiền

An khang thịnh vượng bạc tiền đầy kho

Lại thêm sức khỏe trời cho

Gia đình hạnh phúc, ấm no vui vầy

I love you, I love you so
I love you, I love you, you know
My baby, my cute baby

Lớn lên mau để còn đi làm

Bé cưng ơi, bé cưng ơi, bé cưng ơi...

TOUR COMMENT FROM MRS.MARIA MADERO DE CARDONA & FAMILY

Tour Comment From Mrs. Maria Madero De Cardona & Family

Tick  "Excellent" in all boxes for tour guide, driver, Restaurant, Hotel, Sightseeing

Plus precious compliments:

-          General Comments: Excellent attitude, positive, cheerful, knowledgeable, caring, happy, patient, honest, flexible

-          She speaks very good, clear English+ understands very well

-          She’s very good in time management

-          She gives you a fantastic taste of the culture ( her poems and music are beautiful & really show you the art)

-          She carters to cultural differences ( for example: she took us to the western bathrooms)

-          She doesn’t mind repeating things in order to really understand the subject.

-          She makes you feel like her #1 priority.

-          Her personal cultural and spiritual stories make the tour enriching and the long trips quicker. She is a great story teller.

-          She looks out for the customer’s interest.

-          Good restaurant recommendations.

-          Overall she was great, the best tour guide we have in Asia. If there is one thing can improve could be helping tourists with prices. I know this is complicated because the store owners interests but knowing the range of prices can be helpful. For example, telling you is something if being charged too much (in markets)

-          Over all her performance was outstanding

Thank you

Maria Cardona

Thanks Maria for your precious compliments. I know my limitation in the knowledge about prices. Thanks for the book which tell much about prices. However, too many things in the markets are not in the book price lists and prices are changing quite a lot because of the inflation. We need to bargain in markets and in some shops offering fixed prices we can still ask for discounts.

I will try to improve this. I need to make a price survey as I am not a very regular buyer, especially of fancy things:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

Happy Happy New Year

Let’s sing and  pray
And create a peace

As eternal as the sky and the sea

For you and me, for everybody

Happy Happy New Year

May I wish you all

All the best wishes

Good luck, health, happiness,success and peace

Your life is full of love and riches
