My name is Carlene Mwaura and I am a Senior in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations who traveled to Ho Chi Minh City over the past winter break to study and learn at TDTU University in a cultural exchange and engaged learning collaboration program. The cultural exchange aspect of our trip is something that I valued the most from our trip. I loved how we were able to learn so much about Vietnamese culture and history in both the socioeconomic and labor aspects of Vietnam such as the Vietnamese workplace and classroom environment cultural norms, both labor history and labor law in a Vietnamese and East Asian context. We also learned more about cross-cultural teamwork collaboration as we partnered with the TDTU students to complete presentations, class projects, and simulations. We learned how to communicate beyond language barriers and grew deeper friendships and connections with the students that we worked with. We discussed the cultural and pop cultural similarities and differences between Vietnam and the United States, and I felt that I created lasting close friendships with everyone I met it was such a beautiful experience that I will never forget and am so thankful for!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtdQNJaE3d5z_MvW5iMM1eLjG4P16LRAKmc9EHT42QU6Cfeljhnv35uXnoP_2EJ4dPTB7z6SZ03X36JuKAoCjPp9khm1w0uTfOgaxa3k05bKf9oEaggfmKs3CZ-Bj8ClZ41nfT09Jo2BT07kSRtUFqThnVEY90_TCcBQHzQQmDYFF2UbLypZcm4eGEiPmt/s828/IMG_5852.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="591" data-original-width="828" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtdQNJaE3d5z_MvW5iMM1eLjG4P16LRAKmc9EHT42QU6Cfeljhnv35uXnoP_2EJ4dPTB7z6SZ03X36JuKAoCjPp9khm1w0uTfOgaxa3k05bKf9oEaggfmKs3CZ-Bj8ClZ41nfT09Jo2BT07kSRtUFqThnVEY90_TCcBQHzQQmDYFF2UbLypZcm4eGEiPmt/w499-h356/IMG_5852.jpg" width="499" /></a></div></div>Sri Ravisankarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10741813005085756540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129542437449582258.post-3010052443388306262024-01-14T11:00:00.000-08:002024-03-06T14:16:29.239-08:00Song L.

We then walked over to the beautiful Hon Chong beach, capturing picture- perfect glimpses of the verdant landscape, each more magnificent than the last. With endless blue skies sweeping overhead and white sand under our footsteps, we admired the great mountains and urban sprawl that lay ahead of us.

They are part of the grassroots VGCL, which is similar to a local union in the US. The VGCL’s main roles are to handle grievances and bargain new collective bargaining agreements with the employer. The representative told us that they typically take an integrative approach to dealing with management, meaning they work together to find common goals and a mutually desirable resolution, rather than being at odds with one another. After talking to the representative for about an hour, they graciously invited us to spend the afternoon swimming at the waterpark! We formed small groups with our Vietnamese friends and went on every slide in the park that afternoon. On the bus back to TDTU we still had a lot of energy— we had a sing-a-long on the bus where we taught the TDTU students some fun American songs like Call Me Maybe, and the TDTU students taught us their favorite songs like Áo Dài Ơi.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj377YuHVj8unafajgH5p2N3JRgp0-rV_TQ796YUJfsZwZvyMmxzRqxVXK128nIV5grFGk60IqJx75IyYCACo28yh77epMnW_2hTWftcQteYziOxWrT2GtUuMy2v-WIOGFtFACnoqUaoj1J6GmHdxwfYT8toCkSCQEI6NYcVcjHSu4g4xQB3v_mwbH2tXGd/s1846/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.51.22%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="872" data-original-width="1846" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj377YuHVj8unafajgH5p2N3JRgp0-rV_TQ796YUJfsZwZvyMmxzRqxVXK128nIV5grFGk60IqJx75IyYCACo28yh77epMnW_2hTWftcQteYziOxWrT2GtUuMy2v-WIOGFtFACnoqUaoj1J6GmHdxwfYT8toCkSCQEI6NYcVcjHSu4g4xQB3v_mwbH2tXGd/w511-h241/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.51.22%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="511" /></a></div></div>Sri Ravisankarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10741813005085756540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129542437449582258.post-51471394771812487452024-01-10T11:00:00.000-08:002024-03-06T09:56:58.189-08:00Eva E.

BetterWork is an offshoot of the International Labour Organization that investigates and works to improve garment sector working conditions. BetterWork Vietnam plays an important role in Vietnam because of the prevalence of garment factories and production sites. The organization conducts inspections of different work sites and overall, works to improve compliance with labor rights guidelines. Something that I found interesting was the presentation on non-compliance levels across different regulations. The most common subject of noncompliance was overtime payments, followed by personal protective equipment provisions and fire safety. Learning about the specific challenges that face Vietnamese garment workers really put into perspective the importance of international labor rights advocacy and worker voice. </span><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">One of the things I was surprised by during our trip to the BetterWork office was our discussion about how the ILO can promote changes in brand behavior. When we asked about the brands with the highest compliance levels, Ms. Ha said the name of a company that I would not expect to be compliant. I won’t name names, but it’s pretty infamous on Cornell’s campus. Anyway, they explained that the outcry about this brand’s poor labor practices in the past actually led the company to make significant changes. The increased spotlight shone by labor rights organizations and the general public revealed significant failures, but also pressured the company to provide solutions. This was an inspiring example of how advocacy and organizing can enact real change, even at the corporate level. I hope that more companies will follow this example and bolster their labor rights compliance in Vietnam. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">After the ILO, we walked around the city area and found some delicious Banh Mi. The two girls working at the store were very nice, and they gave me some free yogurt! We took selfies with them and followed each other on Instagram, which was a really fun and unexpected moment of connection. After we got our sandwiches, we sat and reflected on our visit at a coffee shop while waiting for the bus to take us to the Waterpark for the union visit. Learning from the ILO and BetterWork was an invaluable experience, but it is this time that I remember the most– thoughtful conversations with my amazing cohort, sharing a meal, and feeling inspired to keep up the work.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRM6FpasN7eUrVqk6IhUF7eMEIQ4YKj3WYrbCE9pjW3RWupl5Vx8Bl5eRVELN5RzygDCAKqepaUm-G0ACCAcAFPrutBAY077QVS1oQg_tNwo_rR9Z3aL4vl-BTfXtr0L2sWL3YJ7ID27IW9Zq1pqsaaM0CRorebsTb8ApJrzuA8aQ7kWic6Tpuv6Rppq9w/s1076/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.34.16%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="398" data-original-width="1076" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRM6FpasN7eUrVqk6IhUF7eMEIQ4YKj3WYrbCE9pjW3RWupl5Vx8Bl5eRVELN5RzygDCAKqepaUm-G0ACCAcAFPrutBAY077QVS1oQg_tNwo_rR9Z3aL4vl-BTfXtr0L2sWL3YJ7ID27IW9Zq1pqsaaM0CRorebsTb8ApJrzuA8aQ7kWic6Tpuv6Rppq9w/w524-h193/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.34.16%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="524" /></a></div></div>Sri Ravisankarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10741813005085756540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129542437449582258.post-31066837725559249242024-01-09T11:00:00.000-08:002024-03-06T09:56:50.813-08:00Sri R.

Respect Vietnam specializes in addressing inter-organizational conflicts and providing sustainable workplace solutions. One of the ways they achieve this is by providing strategic consulting and creative training, supported by informative infographics that address themes such as conflict resolution, organizational learning, and aligning workplace goals, to name a few. It was truly compelling to see how different visual designs and comics were able to effectively convey messages around labor rights, social change, and workplace inclusion. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">During the second-half of the session, Ha Dang also guided us through an interactive activity focused on the Business Model Canvas. This strategic management tool visually represents nine fundamental building blocks or core aspects of a business: key partners, key activities, key resources, value proposition, customer segments, customer relationships, channels, revenue streams, and cost structure (see infographic below). The activity was highly informative because we saw how the Business Model Canvas illustrates how bad labor relations impact the bottom line—enabling a human resources (HR) professional to better understand business operations. In short, this versatile management tool, which encourages a holistic and systematic approach to the business model design, provided a new perspective into effective HR and labor relations management. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Overall, the session with Ha Dang was inspiring, to say the least. From hearing her passion for helping organizations recognize that human capital is the highest return on investment to working on an activity unpacking the Business Model Canvas, we learned about the importance of fostering people-centric strategies to drive sustainable growth.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQpnSKtZQoXqX_EPvR8e9_VWFsmHZLZfit9LMr1dXFeyE2-yNcM3x_GEHO354hRH7hKkJa2StXEP54OXS3Nizz5e6Q1uONh08isk4EqGwMhPdNLPzyXDjwx4ayoSnjSUBu4f_gGAPpyjHhHbYxedf7fpsWbZ_yg3VRAnl8Zvrfc6GaDUuuuR4GJyA5jPcB/s1094/Screenshot%202024-03-04%20at%2012.24.50%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1094" data-original-width="872" height="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQpnSKtZQoXqX_EPvR8e9_VWFsmHZLZfit9LMr1dXFeyE2-yNcM3x_GEHO354hRH7hKkJa2StXEP54OXS3Nizz5e6Q1uONh08isk4EqGwMhPdNLPzyXDjwx4ayoSnjSUBu4f_gGAPpyjHhHbYxedf7fpsWbZ_yg3VRAnl8Zvrfc6GaDUuuuR4GJyA5jPcB/w402-h504/Screenshot%202024-03-04%20at%2012.24.50%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="402" /></a></div>Sri Ravisankarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10741813005085756540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129542437449582258.post-4604675640213174052024-01-07T11:00:00.000-08:002024-03-06T09:56:43.953-08:00Di T.

It's unlike anywhere I've ever been before. As part of the Vietnam Engaged Learning Group, I've been immersed in the history and culture of the country, and Ho Chi Minh City has become a living, breathing representation of all that we've learned. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">One of the hardest things to grasp beforehand was the complexity of the Vietnam War. The War Remnants Museum certainly left a lasting impact. Seeing artifacts, weaponry, and graphic reminders of the conflict made the weight of it all very real. It's been a sobering, but necessary experience for understanding the history of this place. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">After that emotional start, we went to a classic French-style cafe nearby – a reminder of the colonial era here. It felt like a strange juxtaposition: sipping a latte, surrounded by beautiful old-world architecture, knowing how much conflict Vietnam has faced.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjsxMIknR_kzo_SEdVu1CIq3Q2MrQKJ1pXEjLBVqS-k2n9z6eQ-OuOwXJ_Pj5dKs2Ux6pQZ4NnJnaw2LfjArHvSzpfSz2NZLNzmzl41u2yVXeMsYjUbrN0JymwJxTtNbsLHj6TwN5R0iN0bwWkzPz69jw7mPU3z2C8NbJdigIXT3O0TatkjGxnm0XHG-HT/s760/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.53.16%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="760" data-original-width="566" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjsxMIknR_kzo_SEdVu1CIq3Q2MrQKJ1pXEjLBVqS-k2n9z6eQ-OuOwXJ_Pj5dKs2Ux6pQZ4NnJnaw2LfjArHvSzpfSz2NZLNzmzl41u2yVXeMsYjUbrN0JymwJxTtNbsLHj6TwN5R0iN0bwWkzPz69jw7mPU3z2C8NbJdigIXT3O0TatkjGxnm0XHG-HT/s320/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.53.16%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="238" /></a></div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Later, there was a visit to the iconic Saigon Central Post Office. It's remarkable! Designed by the same architect who designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it has this grand, open feel with beautiful arched ceilings. Here, the past and present really blend – you see locals sending postcards and foreign tourists snapping photos alongside Vietnamese people in traditional clothes on their phones.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU43laSGCtfeGoxQeOY8WFDx7g5jnLrWBczFJyHqkwM7Q1y4ZS4-O5II_GDR7mtnHtFHWkqxW8mdBorlqmJwhqL_EvOdbHt_WLEvsV0BPLbDhhuITMTTGuFTuSJiw7Zg-KVbGLvYqZHn3B0o1Gsny3ZWl11zPrrEi_wbjuym4oQ1jdmQ9oPCKHUTriugTv/s750/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.53.52%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="750" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU43laSGCtfeGoxQeOY8WFDx7g5jnLrWBczFJyHqkwM7Q1y4ZS4-O5II_GDR7mtnHtFHWkqxW8mdBorlqmJwhqL_EvOdbHt_WLEvsV0BPLbDhhuITMTTGuFTuSJiw7Zg-KVbGLvYqZHn3B0o1Gsny3ZWl11zPrrEi_wbjuym4oQ1jdmQ9oPCKHUTriugTv/s320/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.53.52%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">But HCMC isn't just about the past. We hopped on a boat cruise on the Saigon River, watching the modern skyline shimmer in the golden sunset. Skyscrapers reflected in the water, traditional fishing boats bobbed nearby, and the city buzzed with life. It was a beautiful blend of old and new, a vibrant snapshot of Vietnam's dynamic present. And witnessing the bustle of activity on the water while the sun dipped below the horizon was unforgettable.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVSQzo4Suw5PZ68XE3PPhiMHsQtWdFAwNjLZWsmvYz4W_bV4qliVRNY-iguSz0GIcHf_dtrOj1jbvYe4H6yEu6SOxfRRIYTOhVjVUetWR1ds0p-1ZDKNGvFouJoLSZu7tMvKjhUA6tYGkMScPRW82NPSfk6CcHlac4qKg3HZkKKO2J2FqH7evkvAQ2zEZ/s714/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.53.58%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="714" data-original-width="534" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVSQzo4Suw5PZ68XE3PPhiMHsQtWdFAwNjLZWsmvYz4W_bV4qliVRNY-iguSz0GIcHf_dtrOj1jbvYe4H6yEu6SOxfRRIYTOhVjVUetWR1ds0p-1ZDKNGvFouJoLSZu7tMvKjhUA6tYGkMScPRW82NPSfk6CcHlac4qKg3HZkKKO2J2FqH7evkvAQ2zEZ/s320/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.53.58%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="239" /></a></div></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">This trip wasn't just about sightseeing; it was about experiencing Vietnamese culture firsthand. Haggling at Ben Thanh Market for silk scarves, slurping down bowls of pho on plastic stools, and learning a few basic Vietnamese phrases – all these everyday moments painted a richer picture of the city than any guidebook could. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I hope this gives you a taste of the incredible experience Ho Chi Minh City can offer. I urge everyone to visit this charming and dynamic city in Asia.</span></div>Sri Ravisankarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10741813005085756540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129542437449582258.post-82562840685774333232024-01-06T11:00:00.000-08:002024-03-06T09:56:14.909-08:00Zohar G.

Your bag is packed from the night before- water, phone, charger, sunscreen, and bug spray. Bug spray bug spray bug spray. You remind yourself that Dengue Fever is significantly worse than your phone dying and leave the portable charger behind. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Don’t be late to the bus, or you’ll get left behind! You race down the elevator with your roommate, stop at the conveniently located 7/11 for a quick morning snack and tea, and then you’re on the bus on your way! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">A few hours later, breakfast is the best Pho you’ve ever had in your life at a roadside canteen. You literally drink the peppercorns at the bottom because the broth is so good and you’ve never had such delicious (definitely hand-pulled) rice noodles. This is your first Pho of the trip. You could eat another two bowls right then and there. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Back on the bus for a short while, you end up at the mouth of a massive river and are guided onto a boat. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Cruising on the river, you see massive shipping and fishing boats- the wind blowing past you makes for a nice reprieve from the heat. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">You’re now on one of many islands in the Mekong Delta. You dock, hop onto the back of a golf cart, and go. Sandwiched between your friends, it’s a bumpy ride! You pass people smoking in hammocks, playing cards, pushing carts, riding bikes, and even a few chickens and horses. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">It’s hot and sticky in the South, but you’re down for an adventure. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Your first stop is for honey tasting. You down some honey, pollen, and a citrus juice you can’t recognize (you’ll regret not buying the pollen later) and then you’re handed a beehive frame to hold. Thankfully, the bees are a lot more relaxed than you are feeling.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Off you go onto the cart again to eat fruits and hear some music and then it’s what you’ve been waiting for- a boat ride on the Delta! You cruise on just a few inches from the water and pretend to row. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Lunch, an entire fried fish is put on the table. Luckily, the break it into pieces. Rice paper, spring rolls, cooked vegetables are passed around the table as you talk and laugh with your friends. Some barely slept the night before because they were so excited! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Just when you think you can’t eat anymore, your guide takes you to a coconut candy factory. You finish the day’s meals with the freshest coconut ice cream you’ve ever had and sample some candies. On the boat ride back, there are fresh coconuts from your guide are served. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">The bus ride back is significantly quieter as the heat and activities of the day have put everyone to sleep. You’re happy, and ready to rest. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Go home, sleep, and get ready for another day in Vietnam- where you have no idea what may come your way!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WrcrD1NIPRSEc6MKjnc4_iRRnEFYcn2x_57J55ZeAm1vYt7X-vMARDpMpsFNgQtFB8MUX489zeaknb6Ka4gfUgLdpwALmYAk7zIFjMsJuP-0UBTY4Nri8XpQ_dO_hwzwvgotx6WuP68LiDAAfpoED3G4XgHCY-P9qL-tRgjYhk5G4rOhCq-vdhFQ9nsI/s1152/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.46.39%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="902" height="562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WrcrD1NIPRSEc6MKjnc4_iRRnEFYcn2x_57J55ZeAm1vYt7X-vMARDpMpsFNgQtFB8MUX489zeaknb6Ka4gfUgLdpwALmYAk7zIFjMsJuP-0UBTY4Nri8XpQ_dO_hwzwvgotx6WuP68LiDAAfpoED3G4XgHCY-P9qL-tRgjYhk5G4rOhCq-vdhFQ9nsI/w441-h562/Screenshot%202024-03-06%20at%2012.46.39%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="441" /></a></div></div>Sri Ravisankarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10741813005085756540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129542437449582258.post-25420428980102341632023-12-30T23:09:00.000-08:002023-12-30T23:09:12.121-08:00Meet the 2024 TDTU Engaged-Learning Team!<div class="separator"><div class="separator"><b>Nguyen Quynh Tram</b></div><div class="separator">My name is Nguyen Quynh Tram and I am currently a third-year student at the Faculty of Trade Union Labor.

This is my Vietnamese name. You can call me Elyshia. It is my English name. I’m 20 years old and I'm currently a junior student at Ton Duc Thang University. My faculty is Labor relations and Trade unions. I come from An Giang which is located in the South east of Vietnam. I lived with my parents in Nha Be District, Ho Chi Minh City for 3 years with the purpose of studying at university. I was a member of the media club, in the field of reception. My hobbies are traveling, reading books, and playing volleyball. I'm an extrovert. That's the reason why I applied to this short-term program to study, to make a new friend and learn new and meaningful things from foreign friends. Moreover, I have the opportunity to interact with foreign friends and learn many new cultures. I really love learning new things. Before, I participated in a short-term program with La Trobe University. I learned more things from culture, study and make a lot of new friends. And I recognized I absolutely love communicating and diplomacy. I hope to be able to join the course to study and have fun with Cornell University.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_YO8kyJudE2RL1WBrbjgqjuCQxYuKvaMk7wXM0WQw3NXkvaL21jVu53ZdMNNRBaA4rKXiwmE6nLma1pvWVkGI3ruguAU6yh6Z368fPRi_3FjhMy9P7jnOn3LkWFIRgLZJ0q7xMzWRDozG3p-pl7fmzjk3v5a4cbEETPnrdSJeJ-I2qKQlaHt_2RNzUkr/s632/Screen%20Shot%202023-12-26%20at%202.42.17%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="632" data-original-width="474" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_YO8kyJudE2RL1WBrbjgqjuCQxYuKvaMk7wXM0WQw3NXkvaL21jVu53ZdMNNRBaA4rKXiwmE6nLma1pvWVkGI3ruguAU6yh6Z368fPRi_3FjhMy9P7jnOn3LkWFIRgLZJ0q7xMzWRDozG3p-pl7fmzjk3v5a4cbEETPnrdSJeJ-I2qKQlaHt_2RNzUkr/s320/Screen%20Shot%202023-12-26%20at%202.42.17%20PM.png" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Trần Minh Như</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Hi there, my name is Minh Nhu, you can call me by the name Elys.

I plan to pursue a pre-law track with a focus on immigration, labor, and employment to enact progressive change within the legal system. I am so grateful to be a part of the Vietnam Engaged Learning program, and I hope to gain a deeper understanding of labor relations and be completely immersed in global politics at an epicenter of immigration.

During my time there, I collaborated with students at VinUniversity to explore the enduring effects of childhood trauma and conducted interviews with those who had experienced such impacts in their lives. After I graduate would like to go into the realm of international relations, human rights law, policy, and community organizing that focuses on Africa, South/Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. In my free time, I love to spend time with friends and host get-togethers, cook, play piano, and draw.

I’m looking forward to learn new information about the field of labor relations with friends of Cornell University.

I hope that next time you come back, I will be more confident with my English. Thanks guys! </span></div><p></p><p><b>13.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Trần Lê Hồng Hân</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNMRGQ1l9EgIjde675p_MVi0tLGRYSkf-8pZmu5BAYDEfJwp2HeFsSS_s2ZWhqQ1cCFW0i8e8wmqYnK_zT7MIj8UNvmm3wLJHTVIEpkxU0Axa8IqCCUlU75etB26eWB7nrmfn7U6DoRCGFwRtIbze-CLVMbLw_Cy3ekmD71BRk7ZWEftoHQml8Mmt84jeH/s450/Screen%20Shot%202023-11-07%20at%205.13.05%20PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="296" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNMRGQ1l9EgIjde675p_MVi0tLGRYSkf-8pZmu5BAYDEfJwp2HeFsSS_s2ZWhqQ1cCFW0i8e8wmqYnK_zT7MIj8UNvmm3wLJHTVIEpkxU0Axa8IqCCUlU75etB26eWB7nrmfn7U6DoRCGFwRtIbze-CLVMbLw_Cy3ekmD71BRk7ZWEftoHQml8Mmt84jeH/s320/Screen%20Shot%202023-11-07%20at%205.13.05%20PM.png" width="210" /></a></div>Hi, my full name is Tran Le Hong Han, but you can call me Han for short.

In my free time, I enjoy writing stories, dancing, and learning new languages in my free time. I completed the ILR Vietnam Engaged Learning Program last spring virtually and I look forward to learning more about Vietnam’s unique culture and labor relations this year as a teaching assistant.

My name is Nhat Phi or maybe you can call me Jimmy. I am a Junior at TDT University, majoring in Labour Relations. I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. I am excited to learn more about The US’s role in global supply chains and how it intersects with labor. I am excited to get to know the students at Cornell University although this is the third time I join the program with Cornell students but each time I have a new experience. Now I'm ready to learn new things with Cornell students. <div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>2.</b> <b>Nguyen Thanh Binh</b>

Hello guys, my name is Bình, and I’m currently a sophomore at Ton Duc Thang University, majoring in Labor relations and Trade Union. I was born and raised in Hanoi, the capital city of Viet Nam, and i spent my first 18 years there. In 2020, i made the most important decision of my life, which was to pack my things up and move to Ho Chi Minh City for University, and i think to myself: “hey, THAT, is the right call”. I immediately fell in love with this city and its people, its culture, oh, and its food, highly recommend if you guys ever get the chance to visit the city. But for me, the most important factor here is the education, specifically TDTU, who gave me the chance to participate in the Vietnam Engaged Learning Program this year. I am more than excited to be a part of this program, and through this, I hope to get to know more about the US’s role in the international labor relations, and to get some new friends who share my interest in global politic, music and esports, which I am a huge fan of. </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>3.Nguyen Nghiep Tri</b>

Hello, my name is Truc Ly. I am currently a 2nd year student at Ton Duc Thang University, my major is labor relations.

Hello guys, my name is Cong and nickname’s Peter. And at present I am a second-year student in the TDTU, where I am studying Labor Relations and Trade Union.
I grew up in Quang Ngai locating at the middle part of Vietnam or we have a saying for our hometown like “Mien Trung nuoc lu” “Mien Trung with storm and flood”. Because I am from the remote area like Quang Ngai and have a dream to achieve many personal challenges, so I decided to go to Ho Chi Minh in order to attend at university as well as explore the place that I’ve never been before. I am really
interested in learning about many cultures of countries around the world like Korean, England, American, so forth. That’s why I have a chance to join in this online event between TDTU and Cornell University. I hope to see you guys and have more foreigner friends and useful knowledge as well. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>8. Nguyen Lam Thanh Nhu</b>

My full name is Tran Thi Nha An but you can call me An. Currently I'm a sophomore in labor relations at Ton Duc Thang University. My hobbies are going out and hanging out with my friends, going to coffee, watching movies and going on a date. Sometimes I spend time at home cooking or surfing Facebook, tiktok and so on. I hope that after these studies, I will be able to improve my English level, make new friends, and have evidence to only further beautify my job profile later. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>17.

My full name is Dinh Hoang Phuc. I was born and raised in Kiên Giang province but I moved to HCM city last year. And now, I am currently studying at Ton Duc Thang University. “Labor relations” is the major that I am studying, and it is also my favorite choice. I am staying in a dormitory with my new friend and I visit my parents twice a month. Appearance-wise, people tell me that I take after my father from the mouth to the shape of my face. I think, if I wasn’t near-sighted, my face would be more beautiful. About personality, listening to music, traveling, singing is my favorite. When I travel, it makes me feel comfortable, I can open my eyes, learn many things and live a more open and sociable life. Traveling increases my knowledge and widens my perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially my life, it can help me change some of our habits or even create new ones.
I can say that I am a responsible and hard-working student. Moreover, being a sociable person, I have many friends since I like to communicate with people and get to know new interesting individuals. I enjoy my time at school: it is really nice to study and the students are very friendly and ready to help. The atmosphere cannot but make me want to go there every time. I like to receive and deal with challenging tasks. I am a very enthusiastic student and I think this is a strong point of mine. My friends say that I am a very funny and interesting boy with a good sense of humor. As soon as I meet new people who are happy to meet me, I feel extremely comfortable with them. I believe that friendship is one of the most important values in human life. We exchange new ideas, find many interesting things about each other and experience new things. I appreciate the friendship and the people who surround me. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>19. Tran Thi Mai Loan</b>

<br />
This is my third day in Vietnam, and I am finally beginning to recognize landmarks on campus. My morning routine consists of walking down a long sidewalk to the Canteen for an iced coffee (black), and grabbing oat-flavored snacks from the adjacent campus store. Today is our first Monday in class, and we are all still getting to know each other; what I enjoyed most about our course today was having the opportunity to speak with both my peers from Cornell and from TDTU to get a sense of everyone’s research interests.<br />
<br />
After an introduction, we were each given the opportunity to delve into a particular topic related to labor in Vietnam by giving presentations throughout the week. I chose to present on labor laws and unions along with four other Cornell students. As we discussed our upcoming schedules, the excitement in the room was palpable; not only would we have the opportunity to hear about the research of TDTU instructors, we would also have the opportunity to speak with both industry and NGO stakeholders, including representatives from IKEA and Better Work Vietnam.<br />
<br />
As I continue to move forward and hone my topics of interest, I am most looking forward to speaking with representatives from IKEA to get a fuller sense of how multinationals in Vietnam operate, particularly at the administrative level. With this in mind, I hurried to pack my things and headed to the Canteen for a lunch of tofu, fresh vegetables, and steamed rice to continue to get to know my cohort.<br />

After a short class, all six of us in the group went to the mall for lunch. Then, we practiced our dance sequence for the ceremony! We are doing the YMCA, the Macarena, and the Cha-Cha Slide. We practiced for a while, then it was time for the celebration! A few of the Vietnamese students gave speeches, and we all gave little speeches too. Then, we brainstormed ways to stay in touch and decided we’ll meet in Dubai in five years! Finally, the time cane for our dance performance!! We were able to get the students to join us for the dances, and little did we know, the Vietnamese students had a dance for us to do together! After all the dancing, we all exchanged gifts! After that, giant dinner feast time!! There were a lot of interesting dishes, and they were all super yummy. I sat next to a girl who taught me words and complimented my chopstick skills. The craziest part of the meal was the hot pot that boiled fish alive! Crazy but delicious! After that, we did karaoke! I walk into a super fancy room, and a girl is singing a Taylor Swift song, so I jump right in!! At some point, Andrew joins too. I sang lots of songs! It was so fun! Finally, it was time to say goodbye. It was sad, but Dubai in five years! (Hopefully!) </span><br />

The quadruple we were all staying in was hustling and bustling by 9 AM, and we were ready for our day. The first order of the day was ‘café su da’ from the English Café, which arguably has the best coffee on campus even though the barista had no fancy machines and poured the brew from her thermos. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Coffees in hand, we made our way to our classroom, where we learned about Vietnamese Labor Law. Being ILRies and having focused on American Labor Law in the past, it was fascinating to learn about the Labor Law System in Vietnam. On paper, most agree that the law is very favorable to workers and their rights. However, enforcement of the law is weak, and penalties for those who violate it are non-existent. We also happened to be in Vietnam, just as the new labor laws were being introduced and had the opportunity of discussing their ramifications with both professors. In particular, the new law would allow freedom of association in Vietnam as opposed to the central union, the VGCL.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I found the paternalistic role of the government in labor law very interesting as laws like paid maternity leave, minimum wage and a cap on overtime suggest good intentions. However, the government needs to balance the interest of Foreign Direct Investment. These are questions that many countries in the region are no doubt battling with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The other highlight of my day and I daresay my trip, was being introduced to the all-encompassing service app called ‘Grab’. Grab works like Uber, Uber eats, a hotel booking service, payment portal, and even package delivery service. This allowed me to start tasting different kinds of bubble tea every day! I recommend ‘Bobapop,’ but the local favorite seems to be ‘Koi’. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Today we had an action-packed day as we were able to explore district 1 for the first time since arriving in Ho Chi Minh City. Our first stop of the day was a delicious pho place called Duong’s Restaurant Saigon. We shared a family-style meal with dumplings, noodles, spring rolls, and even panda-shaped buns. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once we had spent some time at the market, we went to a local park across from Independence Palace to regroup and decide what to do for the afternoon and evening. Everyone was excited to see Independence Palace, also called Reunification Palace. This marks Ho Chi Minh’s home after South Vietnam was reunited with North Vietnam. There are several stories in this massive palace, complete with a helicopter landing pad and a basement bunker. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">After we grabbed breakfast, we headed to Bang Niang Market. This market-place has all sorts of items, from Vietnamese themed trinkets to factory reject designer clothing and bags. The market even had produce, and food stands inside. One of the keys to the Bang Niang Market is to bargain with the sellers. Most people start at half of the sellers’ asking price. Asking for less than half can seem disrespectful while accepting the sellers’ initial offer means the customer is paying too much. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As the day went on, the heat began to exhaust people, so we got a quick snack at a cafe in the Times Square area of district 1. We had great mango smoothies and quickly headed back to campus to recharge. Some students ended the night with massages and Thai food while others explored the school and some of the local street food found across the street from campus. All in all, it was a great day and were all very excited to explore more of Vietnam!</span></span></span><br />

After a 90 minute ride in TDTU’s amazing mini-bus, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">we arrived at a port. We took 10 minutes to browse some shops before boarding a boat to Unicorn Island! A TDTU student explained that the island’s name does not explicitly mention a unicorn, but instead evokes a legend of a mystical tiger (in a way, a Vietnamese unicorn). <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We rode in a horse-drawn cart until we reached a beautiful path shaded by fruit-bearing trees. The path led us to a bee farm, where we sampled delicious teas and snacks like ginger candies and banana chips. Our tour guide passed around a snake for all of us to pet to end our pit stop. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">We continued until we reached a coconut-based vendor, where we saw how the famous coconut candies are made. Our guide stripped a coconut and explained the process. We sampled some coconut candies before moving on to a fruit-based cafe for a refreshing snack. Singers performed traditional Vietnamese songs while we ate.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To leave Unicorn Island, we had to ride through a narrow stream on a smaller boat to reach our main boat. After we settled back on our boat, we traveled to another nearby island. Our guide showed us ponds with native fish and alligators on our way to a historical site. Nine dragon statues lined a beautiful Buddhist temple.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, we returned to our boat and traveled to a waterfront restaurant for lunch. We feasted on elephant-ear fish, shrimp, chicken, and tons of delicious vegetables. Crisp watermelon and fresh coconut milk marked the end of a sunny, fantastic excursion.</span></span><br />

The presentation was in the library, and the facilities were very impressive; we got an idea of how it is kept in such impeccable condition when we had to exchange our shoes for special library slippers before entering the building. The presentation included a lot of discussion and various group activities, we learned primarily about the changes to the law, which are meant to: increase the number of labor contracts, decrease workplace sexual harassment, and improve the overall labor conflict resolution process. We also talked extensively about the gap which exists between the incredibly progressive labor laws on the one hand and the extent (lack) of enforcement on the other.<br />
<br />
In the afternoon, we got to have a one on one lecture/discussion with Dang Thi Hai Ha, the Founder and Chief Advisor of the workplace consulting agency Respect Vietnam, who had spoken to us in the morning about #MeToo and the law surrounding sexual harassment in Vietnam, and now shared with us her experiences and projects at Respect Vietnam as well as her overall thoughts on the Vietnamese Labor Relations system. She was an impressive speaker who was very knowledgeable about labor in Vietnam, and many students (myself included) found this to be one of the most engaging and exciting classroom experiences on the trip.<br />
<br />
In the evening, we participated in the third night of our debate workshop, and by this point, we were ready to start putting our learning together to build a cohesive, well-structured argument. We learned about framing and summarizing arguments, how to put all of your arguments together, and we presented arguments to various topics in small groups. After the debate, we went to VivoCity, a nearby mall, for dinner, and some of us got the chance to play virtual reality on the top floor!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129542437449582258.post-70190220425973593432019-11-21T14:51:00.000-08:002019-11-21T14:51:32.202-08:00Meet the 2019 ILR Student Team! <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">My name is Kaitlin M., and I am a sophomore in the ILR
School from Cleveland, Ohio. I am pursuing minors in Inequality Studies, Law
& Society, as well as the Globalization, Ethnicity, and Development minor.
When on campus, I write for Guac Travel Magazine, am involved in Cornell
Concert Commission, and am an Executive Board member of the Northeast Ohio at
Cornell University club. I also work at Manndibles Cafe located in Mann
Library. I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in the Cornell- ILR Exchange:
University of Warwick, London Summer Program, engaging in a course on
behavioral economics</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">I wanted to participate in the Vietnam Engaged Learning
program because I want to assist and educate workers about their rights and
protections in developing nations after I graduate. I wanted to see how
communism impacts unions and their ability to freely bargain. I’ve seen what
happens to cities when companies deem increased wages and benefits as too
costly and leave. Being from Cleveland, I have seen how this capital flight has
ravaged my own city as well as neighboring cities like Detroit, Pittsburgh, and
Louisville. Striking the right balance of profitability for the company and
livability for the workers, is something I plan to study after coming back from
this experience. I am beyond excited and grateful for this once in a life-time
experience.</span></span><br />

After meeting at the canteen, the Cornell and TDTU students all boarded vans to begin our way to the river. After and hour and a half of sleeping, chatting, and enjoying the spectacular scenery, we arrived to a dock overlooking the river. With the sun already shining down, the boat ride was beautiful and surreal, accompanied by our lively tour guide. Once we got off the boats, we walked a bit, passing many live animals such as goats and dogs, until we boarded horse drawn wagons leading us along a small path. We then walked a luscious and green trail, trying new fruits that our guide selected for us. We then gathered to eat more delicious and local fruit, such as mango and chili powder, dragon fruit, and pineapple under a shaded table area. We enjoyed this sweet treat while listing to the beautiful melodies of Vietnamese singers that performed a short show for us. </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Next, we stopped and had the opportunity to try local honey mixed with amazing kumquat tea and peanut-based snacks. It was a delicious and calming atmosphere, a mood that suddenly changed once we got the opportunity to hold a live boa! As the group buzzed in excitement, we took turns letting it slither up our arms. Soon after, we were taken to another shaded veranda where hot coconut candy was being made. After watching the process, we were able to try and purchase the sweet treat. The sticky, aromatic candy was unlike anything I have ever eaten, but needless to say, it was delicious. Finally, we rode small boats through a breathtaking river channel, surrounded by jungle and marsh. They gave us conical hats to wear to shade the sun as we rode in the boats. After docking, we followed another verdant path that led us to alligator enclosures where brave students could dangle meat to feed them. It was fascinating watching the alligators freeze so still as they waited before snatching the food.The adventure ended with a feast of spring rolls, sticky rice balls, grilled elephant-fish, prawns, and much more. Needless to say, by the end we were stuffed and satisfied from the mouth-watering food. After taking another boat back to the dock, we loaded back into vans and almost everyone was so tired they slept the whole ride back to campus. </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After resting for some time, the group reconvened and set out for district 1 for some dinner. We ended up eating delicious pho at the infamous location Bill Clinton had his first pho in Vietnam, Pho 2000. The pho and refreshing array of smoothies were extremely flavorful and, as always, delicious. We ended the long day with relaxing massages that almost put some of us to sleep. It was an excellent de-stressor for an action-packed day.</span></span><br />

The morning started<br />
off as usual: the Cornell students met in the canteen to eat, and I got egg noodles and a<br />
Yogurt Da. When we arrived to class, we started our first day of mediation. Professor<br />
Richard Fincher threw us into it immediately, and we had a mock mediation with a sample<br />
case he gave us. In a case involving an employee with a disciplinary record who<br />
accidentally damaged company property, management and the union ultimately agreed to<br />
reinstate her on a last chance agreement.<br />
<br />
In the afternoon’s class, we transitioned to a more serious topic: the Vietnam War. It was a<br />
profound experience to learn about while in Vietnam, especially after meeting so many<br />
wonderful Vietnamese people. What stuck out to me the most was the U.S.’s strategy: to<br />
cause as many casualties as possible. I felt unnerved when I learned that the U.S. used body<br />
counts as a metric of success for the majority of the war.<br />
<br />
In the evening, we attended a debate class with our Vietnamese counterparts and<br />
partnered with them. Together, we argued over all sorts of topics ranging from soda to the<br />
internet! My favorite part was seeing how different some of the Vietnamese students’<br />
perspectives were from ours. Socializing with them felt easy and highlighted our<br />
similarities: we all like sports, spending time with our friends, and we are all worried about<br />
finding jobs. The debating, though, really served to highlight some of the differences we<br />
have that in large part emerge from living under different governmental systems that exist<br />
on opposite sides of the world.<br />
Finally, we finished off the day with some street food with our Vietnamese friends. It was<br />
AMAZING!<br />

Afterwards, we headed over to TDTU Building E and embarked on a two hour lecture given by Professor Richard Fincher detailing the role of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor in Vietnamese labor relations. During our lunch break, students tried Vietnamese <i>Bánh mì </i>and<i> Phở </i>at a different canteen on campus and later cooled off from a particularly hot day with Boba Milk tea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; text-align: center;">In the afternoon, Professor Richard Fincher gave an interesting and poignant lecture on the history of the Second Indochina War, an event that in the United States we commonly refer to as the "Vietnam War." In this lecture, students were able to better understand a more comprehensive view of the War from the Vietnamese perspective, as well as reflect in a nuanced manner on how the War forever changed American citizens' view of their own government.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The daily argumentation and debate session with TDTU students followed in the evening, which was perhaps the highlight of the day. Both Cornell and TDTU students were able to channel the debate skills and experience that they had begun to acquire earlier in the week, and argued in teams over the topic, "Should teenagers be eligible to serve in important government roles?" This debate was particularly interesting in that students from both universities were able to compare and contrast the nature of education and government in their home countries, providing an ulterior benefit of cultural exchange. Afterwards, Cornell and TDTU students dined at a Thai restaurant in a nearby mall where some Cornell students were able to try Hot Pot for the first time. The day, filled with the exchange of food and ideas about government and history, represented another example of the array of cultural learning that a single Wednesday could achieve while in Ho Chi Minh City. --Chris</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129542437449582258.post-19548622310187875322019-02-06T17:59:00.001-08:002019-02-06T17:59:47.391-08:00First Day Out and About with Claire!<!--[if !mso]>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">On our first day with the whole group, we got to tour the Fito Museum of Traditional Vietnamese
Medicine and Pharmacy in District 10, where we learned about the influence of
Vietnamese doctors in expanding the practice of healing and disease prevention
through various natural means. As emphasized by our guide, the Vietnamese have
a longstanding tradition of utilizing the herbs and other natural remedies
grown/produced locally to treat illnesses, and strongly appraise prevention of
these illnesses by living a healthy daily lifestyle. Additionally, we learned
about the less conventional methods doctors would use to diagnose their
patients, such as through palm reading. At the end of the tour, the museum
offered us different types of tea, which were labeled according to their
functionality, such as those for brain power or stress-reduction.</span></div>

We stopped there for a while and people-watched from the balcony of a local café. From there, we were able to see all the people shopping for presents for Tet, or taking a break in the center where kids could play in the fountain or order food from street vendors.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Today January 7th was our first full day of
classes where we began by waking up early for a class with Mr. Fincher about
Vietnamese history and labor. We learned about the wide spread influence of
Marxism on the country’s culture and government which determined the way the
country’s labor system functions currently and how French colonialism and
cultures from other Asian countries contribute to Vietnam’s unique
socioeconomic structure. Vietnam’s communist government but capitalistic
economy entails a labor market that is heavily regulated by the government,
meaning that most unions, NGO’s, and businesses have certain legal limitations
such as representation, production, and negotiation in which they must operate.
Therefore, it is safe to conclude that the dynamics between management and
labor in Vietnam are nowhere parallel to the relationship between management
and labor in the U.S. as it follows a tripartite structure. The class then
entered into a dialogue comparing the two systems, having Mr. Fincher giving
some of his own thoughts and insights.</span></div>

<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Later
that day we were able to have our first debate workshop. Both Cornell and TDTU
students learned the basic mechanics of debate and engaged in a short exercise
of “last one on the hot air balloon” justifying why you, being anyone or
anything, should be left to survive. The room was immediately filled with
laughter and excitement as students took on silly roles such as love, gravity,
and a GPS device. It was a great opportunity to not only hone our debating
skills but to have fun with the Vietnamese students.</span></span></div>

after a long day we all went out to grab dinner. The food was amazing;
especially being able to try local favorites such as Vietnamese Pizza, Tamarind
Tea, and Quail Eggs. It was a great time for us to get to know the Vietnamese
students better, hearing their jokes and stories.</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Yet, things got a little crazy when the

their hospitality and kindness and hoped that we could return the favor next
dinner. --Paul</span></span></div>
