The famed river bridges of the Iranian city of Isfahan are a beloved tourist draw -- but much of the time their stone arches span just sand and rocks, not water. Women pose for a selfie along the bank of the Zayandeh Rood in Iran's central city of Isfahan on May 15, 2022 Drought and upstream water diversions have seen the Zayandeh Rood, "fertile river" in Persian, run dry since 2000, with only rare exceptions. Sitting on a quay with two friends, 60-year-old Jalal Mirahmadi gazed with melancholy at the riverbed, which became the site of a farmers' protest late last year. "When I was a child, the water flowed under the arches of the bridge and sometimes overflowed to spill into the surrounding streets," he sighed.

Van Thanh of Can Tho City said he invested US$2,000 in five accounts in Axie Infinity, a play-to-earn game with a goal of winning smooth love potions (SLP), an in-game currency that can be exchanged for real money. "SLP traded at around 0.02 a token. With five accounts, I could earn 800-1,200 SLP a day, or around $15-25. I expected to break even after two months." But by May the price of SLP had fallen sharply, and a token is now worth around $0.0056, a steep decline from the peak of $0.4 it reached last July. "Now I earn the same amount of SLP, but only make $3-5 a day. I want to quit because what I earn is not worth the effort. "But I will keep the SLPs I have earned and hope prices rise later so that I can sell them and recover my losses." Nguyen Mai of the southern Binh Duong Province spent $1,000 on a play-to-earn game named BombCrypto last December. Its currency, Bcoin, traded at $4 a token, but has dived to around $0.04 now. "I haven’t logged into the game for two … [Read more...] about Vietnamese becoming wary of play-to-earn games

Hà Nội's air quality is not good and has not been significantly improved.
