The Story of KT
๐ป๐ณ BREAKING: Vietnam just dropped a new online ad rule thatโs blowing up the internet.
People keep saying โVietnam banned YouTube adsโ, thatโs not what happened. The real story is Vietnam is targeting the most annoying ad formats, the ones that block your screen and trap you, and setting a 5-second max before you can close certain video style ads, plus zero wait on static overlays.
I explain what the law actually says, what it applies to, and what changes next for platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook.

What do you think, should other countries copy Vietnamโs 5-second rule, or is it bad for creators?

2. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE
Better yourself by associating with those who inspire growth.
3. PRACTICE GRATITUDE AND MANAGE EXPECTATIONS
Finding peace through appreciation of life's small joys.
4. GIVE YOUR ALL AND TRUST THE JOURNEY
Hard work paves the way for success.
5. FOCUS ON SELF-CONTROL OVER EXTERNAL CONTROL
Strength lies in self-mastery, not domination over others.
6. MASTER YOUR REACTIONS
By controlling your responses, you retain your power.

The Story of KT
The image presents a ranking of the best countries for retirement, based on a global survey of 126,000 respondents and an analysis of 80 countries across key factors such as healthcare quality, cost of living, climate, and ease of residency. The results show a strong dominance of Asian countries, reflecting the regionโs affordability, lifestyle appeal, and improving healthcare systems.
Thailand leads the list with a score of 60.97, making it the top retirement destination. Its position is supported by a relatively low cost of living, well-developed healthcare infrastructure, and a retirement-friendly lifestyle that combines modern amenities with cultural richness. Close behind is Vietnam, ranking second with 60.25, benefiting from affordable daily expenses, rapid development, and a growing expat-friendly environment. Indonesia secures third place with a score of 59.85, attracting retirees with its tropical climate, diverse living options, and competitive living costs.
Beyond the top three, countries such as the United Arab Emirates, India, and Malaysia also feature prominently, each offering unique advantages ranging from modern infrastructure to cultural familiarity and cost efficiency. Overall, the ranking highlights Asia as a rising hub for retirement, particularly for those seeking a balance between affordability, comfort, and quality of life in their post-working years.

Travel trends from 2021 to 2025 show Indonesia as Australiaโs most popular international destination. Its close proximity, affordable travel options, and diverse attractions from Baliโs beaches to cultural and natural experiences across the archipelago make Indonesia a consistent favorite for Australian travelers seeking both short holidays and extended stays.
In second place is Singapore, a global hub known for its efficiency, safety, and modern attractions. Australians are drawn to Singapore for its seamless travel experience, world-class shopping, family-friendly entertainment, and status as a major transit gateway connecting Asia and beyond.
Rounding out the top three is New Zealand, a destination valued for its stunning natural landscapes and cultural familiarity. With similar lifestyles, easy travel access, and iconic scenery ranging from mountains to coastlines, New Zealand remains a top choice for Australians looking for outdoor adventures and scenic escapes close to home.
