Pro Tip: When riding a scooter, wear a surgical mask if you plan on opening your mouth to talk to your passenger or on your Bluetooth earphones ! Bugs / dirt / commuters in front will have things flying into your mouth !! Glasses / sunglasses / or a visor helps stop crap going in your eyes as well

[@dinacurtis]

The fan running in the living space is probably pushing the cold air back into the bedroom. If you shut that off and put a portable fan in the bedroom directing the air towards the door it might work better.

[@edwardcorrigan4775]

Okay on the cooling system problem your having with the two rooms. Here is just a little fix for you. set up two box fans one placed in the doorway of the bedroom. Another sm. box fan placed at the sliding glass door leading to the balcony. keeping the ceiling fans on and turning the box fans on will create a good draft of cool air flowing around the place. try also to limit sun exposure in the rooms, having a sun lit by natural sunlight can heat a room up quickly, throwing a heavy quilt or blanket over a window to block sunlight at hot times during the day will help.

I'm in/from California and can't quite understand why our coffee is so terrible? The first time I really figured it out I was waiting for the train outside the airport in Amsterdam and I bought a cappuccino from a vending machine, it was glorious! Later that trip in Italy, I started drinking midday espresso, I've been hooked ever since! Now I pretty much exclusively drink Vietnamese coffee at home, Turkish/Mediterranean, with a touch of cardamon, or a proper Italian cappuccino while out and about. I can't stand Starbucks or Pete's coffee, and frankly I don't understand why anyone drinks that bitter swill? IMHO? cheers:)

[@tunesmith5664]

Good morning... one suggestion for your AC cooling of the area outside the bedroom would be to use a wall mounted fan above the vanity area directing cool air flow through the bedroom door (that's how I use my living room AC to cool my bedroom in Philippines. If wall mounting is a problem with the management, it would be easy enough to build a simple wooden framework stand to mount the fan to (it won't damage anything). If Da Nang is anything like the Philippines, you should be able to find a local laborer relatively inxepensive to build/install a stand for the fan that would do the job (save you the hastle of finding materials and tools for the job)

[@nh7788]

The French didn't give them bread, colonists didn't believe that Vietnamese should be entitled to it. They only got access to it during the first world war. Thousands of French soldiers were called back to fight on the frontlines in Europe, so there was an over supply in Vietnamese warehouses. Over supply meant that the price had to come down, which meant the local Vietnamese could afford it. And it wasn't until the French left in the 1950s that the traditional sandwich baguette was replaced by the Bahn Mi in Saigon. I'm withdrawals from not having Bahn Mis and its only been 6 weeks since I left. I should be back to Da Nang in September.

[@rfpeace]

you may want to try improving the insulation in the "living room", by getting the exterior windows tinted, re-caulked, new weather stripping on the doors, upgrading the exhaust fan in the bathroom, and look into a portable/window mount AC unit? Actually there are lots things you can try, just think about where the heat is coming from and try to keep it out! Cheers:)

[@2morrowsworld]

Hard to argue with your assessments of Da nang and Vietnam in general. For one thing the beach, from the 'marble mountain' headland southward toward Hoi An (called China beach by US soldiers) is one of the best in the world for sure. Looks stunning, is broad with plenty of stable sand and, unlike Mui Ne and Nha Trang, has a decent swell and surf. Was there myself only a couple of weeks ago. The usual north bound tourist trail from District 1 Saigon to Hanoi is nice but left wanting to spend more time.

[@iltjoa]

I had the same problem with the glass wall. I used a box fan in the doorway blowing out into the living room . No box fan, but you have a fan on a stand , aim it up blowing into the bedroom. Took roughly ten minutes.
