    Thanks for the informative video. I am up in Hanoi on a 90 day visa but I’m flying down to Danang in a couple of weeks. I am Charlie from Boston USA. I want to keep my house in America and I love Vietnam and of course the cost of living here. I was in Mexico last year, but I decided to give Vietnam a whirl. Cost-of-living much cheaper here than Mexico all around. People are friendly whether is tropical. See you soon. Thanks for everything you do.

      Yes, I will be in or around Danang on the 30th. I am flying down from Hanoi with my Vietnamese girl on the 26th. I will see Hoi An and also HUE.. We only have 10 days to see all three I prefer more. I am a slow traveler, but she must get back to work.. I actually think we will be leaving denying the 29th 🤦‍♂️. But I appreciate your Videos and I would like to buy you a coffee if I am in Danang while you are there

    When he's talking about the noise like "karaoke" he is not joking. Noise pollution in Da Nang is serious business and if you choose the wrong area they will have parties until 4 AM that shake your home like the thunderbolts of Thor. Then construction begins at 5 AM.

    I know - it's a - "seek and ye shall find" - sort of thing. --- Not sure where or what area would be - "ideal for me" in such a large city and potential 'area' for living ? Perhaps a bit of an exploratory visit along the areas offering the best street food options is a good place to start for me since I won't be cooking a lot. Inexpensive plentiful and varied options for food - and a frugal but nicely furnished studio with quiet long term cheap rent would be just fine with me ! --?-- Essentially - a low cost budget w/o a lot of extravagant fancy frills !!!

    • @AlwaysonaJourney
      @AlwaysonaJourney  7 місяців тому +1

      Vietnam and Thailand are both Southeast Asian countries with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and rich cultures here is the comparison:
      Similarities:
      * Beaches: Both countries boast stunning coastlines with beaches ranging from lively to secluded.
      * Buddhist influence: Buddhism is a major religion in both Vietnam and Thailand, reflected in their temples and cultural traditions.
      * Southeast Asian cuisine: Both offer flavorful Southeast Asian cuisine, but with distinct variations. Vietnamese food is known for its fresh ingredients, herbs, and lighter broths, while Thai cuisine is famous for its curries, chilies, and bold flavors.
      Differences:
      * Landscape: Vietnam's landscape is more diverse, with mountains, rice paddies, rivers, and beaches. Thailand has more jungles and islands.
      * Culture: Vietnam has a more recent history of war and political upheaval, which has shaped its culture. Thailand has a longer history of monarchy and a more laid-back culture.
      * Cost: Vietnam is generally more affordable than Thailand, especially for accommodation and food.

    Let me save you all some 12+ minutes of yet another boring video from some tourist who knows little about life in Vietnam, and tell you that THERE ARE THOUSANDS of decent apartments/rentals all over DaNang, and most have zero personality, warmth or character, so to get beyond the cookie-cutter concrete boxes these people call "NICE' condo's, the very best way to find a much better one is to completely skip the online crap (except for basic research), and instead get on a motorbike or into a taxi , then drive around and find an area/location you like and simply walk into the reception and have them show you available apartments. When you find a place, a meeting will be arranged with the owner in most cases, and you can make a much better deal with him/her directly since there are no middle-men to pay, plus the owner/landlord actually like to meet their tenants, so it doesn't hurt to look presentable instead of showing up in some weirdo cargo shorts, a tank top and black socks with dress shoes...:):):) yes I know it sounds horrific, but it's unfortunately a common wardrobe for many westerners. Anyway, have fun and stop listening to all the endless babble from people who know about as much as you already do; get your feet on the ground and simply look around, then start knocking on some doors and you might even meet some nice people in the process.
