Hot Dang, Da Nang!

The day we dropped Hayley off at the airport to fly home to Canada, we also boarded a flight! ✈️ We are now in Da Nang, a coastal town in the middle of Vietnam. It’s on the South China Sea, at the mouth of the Han River. It’s a bit of a beach destination place for the Vietnamese, as well as some other Asian countries like China and Korea. The best part about Da Nang is the beach is sooooo long and expansive. You can walk for miles along the ocean and never run out of beautiful sandy beach. 



A huge difference from other places we’ve previously visited is: Curb Appeal! There are massive buildings with beautiful lights, and Da Nang is just lit up and vibrant at night. 







We went to a harbour to watch some fishing boats come in, and met this security guard. He didn’t speak any English so our conversation was entirely through Google Translate. He was born and raised in Da Nang. He insisted Jared wear his helmet for a picture together 😂


Something about Vietnam that is hard to explain is the crazy traffic!!!! I have been trying to get a good video, but I only dare pull out my phone to record during the calmer times! There are road signs and lines on the road that give the impression of rules….but no one follows them! Especially the scooters. Scooter riders just weave in and out of all the traffic and do whatever they want, even driving on the wrong side of the road. Here’s a few videos, but like I said; these were only the times slow enough to let go of Jared and pull out my phone to film. 




I was trying to film this dog, just napping at his owners feet while cruising on the scooter through traffic. How cute. 🐕
