Japanese retailer Aeon opened its first shopping mall in Vietnam

The Aeon Mall Tan Phu Celadon, located outside this bustling city, houses an Aeon supermarket, a cinema and about 120 restaurants and specialty apparel stores. About 30 of the retailers hail from Japan, half of which are new to Vietnam. Among these is Marugame Seimena, a self-serve udon noodle shop.

     Vietnam is the third Southeast Asian country in which Aeon has opened a mall, following Malaysia and Thailand. Aeon has plans to bring malls to Indonesia and Cambodia this year as well.

     Japanese food and products are growing popular in Vietnam, where Aeon hopes to open 20 stores by 2020.

In Japan, people are get used to go shopping with family and friends in the chains of AEON mall. People just do it as a part of daily activities. However, In Vietnam things are so different though there are some shopping mall such as Diamond Plaza, Parkson, Vincom. It is because that the prices in these shopping mall are too high. People with average monthly income feel it hard to buy things in these places.
The emergence of AEON in Tan Phu District has changed a lots of things. Its location maybe not the best one but it is the most suitable one. This location will reduces costs for chains and be the favorable place in the near future.

"Made in Japan" is the most useful certificate for quality products. We can see many stores that were build in Japan style. AEON mall provides people wit a chance of buying high quality products with better prices.
One of the different things in This Mall is the friendly staff which is hard to be seen in some other luxurious mall. The staff always does some greetings to the customers when they into the mall. It is a beautiful tradition we can see in Japanese.

This is a place you can go shopping and hang out with friends  when you are in Ho Chi Minh city. It is not in the central but it's easy to get there.

How Do the Ancients Find the Best Place to Live?

Have you ever wondered that what is the most important thing when choosing an apartment?  We may have a list of factors affecting our decisions when choosing a right place to live: Location, Cost, Convenience, Facilities... You name it.

However, We don't need to choose the best apartment that meets above factors. We only need to choose one that matters to us the most. Then we will consider other things.

So the first thing is to ask yourself what is your first priority? For example, if you are single, you are young, you will need a place where you can hang out every night, a place to take part in  some physical activities like sports and outdoor activities. However, If you still are student, cost will be your significant consideration when choosing a place to rent.

Choosing a right apartment will partly affect the quality of your lives. In some case, it will affect your future. It is true in the case of Mencius- one of the most famous philosophers in Chinese history. His mother had to consider a lot of factors when choosing a place to live but finally she realize her priority is to choose the best environment for her son.


It is told that Mencius' mother had to move three times until she could find the best place to live. The first time is her moving to a place that is next to a cemetery. Her son saw burials then he started to act  as if he were in these situations. He started to play a game of burials. He cried, he acted as if he were in deep sadness.  His mother decided to move to the market.

When she moved to a place near the market, her son started to act as if he had been a businessman for a long time. He became a showing off person, he lied about his journeys around the world. He learned tricks deceiving people. One more time, his mother had to move again. However, she had learned a lesson from the last two moving. This time she move to an apartment which is near a school.

Luckily, Mencius saw students who treated others with respect and honesty. He followed to behave well as a good person. Mencius’s mother was very pleased: “This is where I can raise my son!” Submerged in this environment, Mencius started studying and learning. With his mother’s help, Mencius learned the six classical arts and became one of the most well-known scholars
