interesting comment. I live in Da Nang currently. Definitely not an old folks place. It’s not a party town like Phuket or Pattaya, more like a smaller Chiang Mai with a beach. Less than an hour drive to Hỏi An is very nice, too.

Ages are evenly distributed. Not at all like Pattaya or Hua Hin.

But the tourist mix is interesting. I lived in Phu Quoc several years ago and the tourist mix was mostly Vietnamese with maybe 15% foreigners, and of those they were tilted toward Europeans but a fair amount of Aussie, US, and Canada.

Current mix in Da Nang is Korean, Chinese, Indian, Russian with a low number of Euro, Aussie, US, and Canada.

I know, TMI!

I enjoy living here but prefer Thailand and look forward to moving there next year.

Cheers!

“absolved”? 😆 English isn’t your native language, I take it. “Absorbed” would be the word you’re looking for. And, no, I don’t think the US really cares about any of those countries. Oh, you were referring to the orange clown child’s incoherent ramblings?? 🤣 🤡

one might presume there’s a lot of coffee money getting paid under the table from the agents to the staff there.

Possibly the most idiotic trend I’ve seen of late. But hey, whatever works for people.

I’m surprised to hear that, but you mention a complicated prescription. There’s that mall not too far from the Pavilion that has well over 50 optical shops. I stock up when I’m there. I think I paid an average of US$15 per pair. I have low-moderate myopia, however, so it’s an easy fill.
