The selling of assets and properties, or even entire businesses, has been common over the past year or two, with more businesses falling into difficulties and lacking capital. At the beginning of March, for example, the owner of the Dolce by Wyndham Hanoi Golden Lake Hotel in the heart of Hanoi put the hotel on the market at a starting price of $250 million. Nguyen Huu Duong, chairman of the hotel owner Hoa Binh Co., Ltd., said that the company's social housing project had not been granted construction permits, meaning a lack of cash flow and the need to sell off assets to ensure liquidity. “Many of the partners negotiating to buy our hotel are businessmen … [Read more...] about Foreign investors buying up local businesses

Today I received a letter from my ex-girlfriend. We officially broke up four years ago as I was seeing another girl at the time. After we broke up, I send her emails every now and then, and every year on her birthday. Despite our long-lasting love, I only felt truly in love with her after it had ended.

This time, after reading her response, which was full of gentle but straightforward words, I realized that there is no chance left for me. I’ll be sharing her email here and I hope readers can give me some advice. "Hi.

The 4,000 m2 water park, situated at the Vo Van Kiet-Nguyen Tri Phuong intersection, opened in 1999, and used to be a popular destination. But in January 2020 it shut down after the lease expired and lies in an abandoned state. It has become decrepit over time. Locals said no one has cleaned the place since it shut down or even watches over it. Hoang Khanh of District 5 said: "A few years ago the park was bustling with all sorts of water games.
