Somewhat surprisingly, the internet in this part of Vietnam is supplied by fibre optic from Hong Kong. And some fish, mammal or Loch Ness Monster has eaten through the cable. So, whereas before I was happily getting an excellent download/upload speed, I am now getting almost zero. And I am reliably informed that the problem won’t be fixed until after I have moved on! So until then I will struggle, I guess, to receive/send emails, check and reconfirm flights etc make onward accommodation reservations and, most importantly, upload my daily blog with photos.
It is extraordinary how dependent we have become on the internet and how ‘lost’ we feel without it. Luckily for me I can recall a life before the worldwide web so I know I will survive but I suspect there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the younger generation who will undoubtedly feel that it’s the end of the world!
I’m not sure if this blog-ette will be uploaded and published but I will get back to normal asap.
