I was out on a wander today because someone told me that an old hospital was being torn down near the beach, and I have no option but to presume that it is going to be yet another massive build for...
Construction projects abandoned while new ones spring up
One of the biggest gripes that anyone that lives in Da Nang is almost certainly going to have at least once and probably much more frequently than that is the omnipresent construction. People say "...
Marble statue park in Da Nang, Vietnam
One of the tourist attractions here in the city of Da Nang is the Marble Mountain. It's one of those things that once you have gone to it one time you don't really ever need to go again. I can unde...
The Workshop in Da Nang, Vietnam. A different kind of pub
This place has been around for a really long time and I had been to it before. In the past though, it just kind of seemed like a place where people sat around and smoked weed, which isn't exactly m...
They've kind of given up on the fake "Go Green" stuff in Da Nang
Vietnam has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the most environmentally irresponsible countries in the world. Despite having just a fraction of the USA population they manage to pollute fa...
Found some more Jesus statues in the middle of a field
I haven't seen the inside of a church in many years but I am familiar with the stations of the cross and how almost every Catholic church I have been in in my life has had them. These marble statue...
Some really good street art at a beach foreigners rarely go to

Some good street-art finds in a homemade skate park outside of Da Nang
Street art is a tough one here in Da Nang, vandalism is rightfully illegal, and I hate it when I come across an area where a bunch of people put up tags without permission. In fact, I hope they get...
A little note about food delivery for people visiting Da Nang
We are a bit spoiled here in Vietnam as far as food delivery is concerned because we can get virtually everything delivered to our front door in very little time for very little money. I have seen ...
A really slick E-Car and a completely ridiculous one
E-cars are all the rage in Vietnam at the moment and this is mostly because of the fact that one of Asia's largest e-car manufacturers is based out of Vietnam. I have lived over in Vietnam when the...
I found a giant marble Jesus, and other religious icons
There is a place in Da Nang that is called Marble Mountain. As you might expect this is because the mountain is made of marble. Because of this, there are a lot of shops around here that make custo...
A packed club and one of the coolest VF3's I've seen yet
I've been hearing from people that are visiting that it is actually quite difficult to find a room in Da Nang right now. I'm a bit insulated from this phenomenon and never really know if it is busy...
Changes to bank and mobile access for long-term expats in Vietnam
Something that is kind of frustrating about living in Vietnam is that things generally don't get told to you as far as government policy is concerned. You will find out about it once something that...
Good instant coffee available everywhere in Vietnam
One of the downsides of trying to eat almost anything in Vietnam, and from what I hear all the surrounding countries is that no matter what it is that you are trying to buy it is almost always goin...
