We’re in our 6th week in Vietnam, but we’ve been here in Da Nang for 3 weeks - the longest we’ve stayed in 1 place the entire trip. It’s been nice to be a little more settled and really get to know an area.
I try to post about some of the adventures we go on, but I also wanted to share some pictures that were more “real life” living in Vietnam. Every culture has its pros and cons, but an overwhelming trait the Vietnamese share is they are hardworking. We often see shop owners sleeping on a cot inside their store or Grab drivers sleep on their bikes; not because they’re lazy, but because they work crazy long hours!
Here’s some other pictures and videos I took just trying to capture real life in Vietnam! 🇻🇳
The other thing I love is that everyone goes out at night. People meet up at parks, restaurants, or just in front of their shops/homes. They visit with friends and family, kids run around, blast some music, exercise, eat and drink together, etc. From about 6pm onwards anyone who can be outside, just is. Of course the weather is usually very accommodating for people to be out socializing, it’s so nice and warm here everyday. Even when it rains, it’s still warm.
A very common sight is groups of middle-aged women doing “calisthenics” in the park together at night. They basically chat while they dance/swing their limbs around to loud music. It’s hilarious and extremely common. I will try to catch a video sometime if I can.
