Here is the list of my favourite websites
www.drudgereport.com ( It has sooooo much information that you may get lost and find yourself in the middle of nowhere after about ten minutes of surfing. So be careful
www.feer.com
www.timeasia.com
(I think they provide good information about Asia in general and Vietnam in particular. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you will find very useful articles about Vietnam from a different perspective)
www.washingtonpost.com
www.nytimes.com
www.bbc.co.uk
(News in general, they provide very well-written articles, which will surely help you improve your writing skills)
