This is not something that is being admitted by anyone in charge or by the companies that were charged with making it happen. That's now how things work here. I am basing this off of the situations that we who live here are all experiencing and it is too widespread to be just a coincidence.

Over the years of living in a tropical country coming from a non-tropical one, I was very affected by the heat and humidity that exists here in Vietnam. For almost all of the year I would be in trouble if I was trying to do something outside as I would sweat like mad and be very uncomfortable. It seemed as though the only thing that brought me relief was to either be in a body of water like the ocean or a swimming pool, or be inside with the air conditioning blasting.

Vietnam has been threatening to do this for weeks and I guess they finally got around to it because today when I was popping out a few messages to friends I noticed the little spinning wheel of "sending" was not going away to be replaced by a checkmark that indicates the message was sent. So for a lot of people, this means that Telegram is now unusable but of course there are ways around this block if you are slightly technology savvy and it isn't that difficult.

When the crews came by and tore down this eyesore of a building on the beach and there was just an open space there for a time, I was hopeful that perhaps there was sort of reclamation project going on and the city was planning on beautifying the beach are with the addition of some natural space instead of the usual tourist ripoff places that are on the beachfront of nearly everywhere in the world.

There is a fine line between having enough buildings to accommodate the tourists near or on the beach, and then overcrowding with those same buildings. Da Nang has allowed what I consider to be a crazy amount of construction at or near the beach and we have already passed the point of having "enough."

I have been teaching English online for the past 5 years using a company based out of China. They will hire people anywhere in the world if you are a native English speaker and even a few people here and there that are not native. Your ability to make money depends almost entirely on how well you engage your audience and just like in anything else, the people who are just starting out find it difficult to gain clients and the people that have been doing it a while don't have much trouble at all because you get a star rating and referrals.
