Two major education-related crises are weighing heavily on parents at the same time.

A friend of mine once had a stable job, a gentle personality, and a strong sense of responsibility toward his family. But he also had a habit of drinking after work.

With gasoline vehicles restricted and electric vehicles banned in apartments, people are caught between a rock and a hard place.

There are always a few cloth bags in the trunk of my motorbike, and food containers in my backpack. When a vendor hands me a plastic bag, I simply say no.

I’m 34 years old and work as a manager at a private company. My current salary is VND55 million (US$2,090) a month, plus a Lunar New Year bonus worth more than two months' pay. To many, that might sound like a dream job and a stable life. But in truth, I feel adrift.

The air pollution in Hanoi follows a predictable, seasonal pattern, like it's returning on schedule each year.

My cousin had "disappeared" in Japan. That was the initial information I received from my uncle living in the countryside.

My first plate was piled high with shrimp, squid, crab, and mantis shrimp. The second was filled with oysters, salmon, and sashimi. The third was a mountain of grilled meat.

Last weekend, my family went to a popular buffet restaurant in downtown Ho Chi Minh City. The place offered more than 100 dishes, from premium seafood like lobster, grilled oysters with cheese, salmon, and sashimi to a wide range of Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese food.

Da Lat's mountain passes are not experiencing minor erosion. They are cracking apart.

An old man, soaked from head to toe, sits on his doorstep that has just emerged after being submerged under water for four days.

Many Vietnamese students struggle to speak English clearly, pronounce words correctly, or understand native speakers, even after over a decade of learning the language.

Along my journey with UNICEF, I have met countless children and families whose lives have been torn apart by disasters.

Vietnamese students spend years studying English, yet many still freeze the moment they meet a native speaker.
