Hanoi's Old Quarter, you can't throw a Ho Chi Minh t-shirt without hitting an Internet Cafe. You can check email on every street corner. In addition, many hotel/guesthouses offer free Internet in their lobbies or downstairs area so ask about this when booking a room.

The total area of green space in Ho Chi Minh City has shrunk up by half to only about 535 hectares within the past 11 years... A number of projects will start this year to add more green space to the heavily-populated city, including the expansion of the Gia Dinh Park in Phu Nhuan District by 17.4 hectares and the construction of six new parks and gardens in Go Vap District.
With a decrepit building as its only venue for performing in the city, the very existence of cai luong (reformed theatre) is under threat, a heartbreaking scenario for professionals and fans of this traditional performance art, who have been longing for a new and modern theatre. As the cradle of cai luong, HCM City needs a theatre up to international standardise, says People’s Artist Doan Hoang Giang. On a site of 1,632 sq.m on Tran Hung Dao street, in district 1, the theatre was founded in 1960, and has witnessed the rise and fall of cai luong ever since. There were once more than 10 other cai luong theatres in the city but they have all closed in recent years because of falling audiences.
