Terrible brown-out in LeVan Luong and Hoang Anh Gia Lai-Goldhouse

The term brown-out is used to describe a situation when the electric power runs at a lower voltage and frequency than normal, but it is still on. Lights will be very dim, and appliances with electric motors, such as fans, will run slowly or not at all. Electronics such as TVs will not work at all. Is this what happened at your apartment, or was it a black-out (no power at all)?

It is very common to have scheduled power outages at times in different locations throughout district 7. This is usually due to all the new construction going on. Whenever you see a notice that the power will be off, you should plan on doing something else outside your home. Go shopping. Go to the park. Go have a nice meal at a restaurant somewhere. If you stay at home all day with no power - yes, that is hell.

Thanks for the heads-up on HAGL in district 7. We have some friends who live there also. The place looks like a ghetto. It looks like the developer ran out of money before completing the job. For that reason alone, I would not live there, regardless of rental rate. But again, your power problem is not confined to just HAGL in district 7.

(I am aware that there are HAGL apartments in district 2. I have not been there, nor do I know anyone who lives there, so my opinion only applies to HAGL in district 7.)
