The real jewel here is the indirect reference to the authoritative source"Lịch Việt Nam: thế kỉ XX–XXI (1901–2100) & Niên Biểu Lịch Sử Việt Nam" (2014) <http://bookaholic.vn/lich-viet-nam-the-ki-xx-xxi-1901-2100-va-bien-bieu-lich...>. I'd like to verify the information from this source if possible. For example, if I'm reading the website correctly the 1906 transition was on July 1, not June 9, Yes, you right but I'd like to check that against the book. I have requested a copy of the book from my library; it has a 2005 edition, which should suffice for our needs.
You just compare date on this book with <http://www.thoigian.com.vn/?mPage=P80D01>. Unfortunately, the library near me don't have this book. "National Library of Vietnam" has three book of 2005 edition, but I'm not in Hanoi now. So you have to verify it by yourself. If every thing is OK, I will change both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city. If you can't read it, I will try to find people who can help us. -- Trần Ngọc Quân.
