I have been in Da Nang for week and I have fallen in love with this city. The food is phenomenal and I got to meet many wonderful people. I want give special shout out to Rod Glass of Aussie Bistro, he has given me many bits of advice and insights on life in Da Nang. I even got inspired enough to create a little artwork! I definitely plan on returning as soon as I retire. I hope to get to meet you before I leave next week. Have a great day and congratulations! Marty Lenhart

Thank you yes I’ll be there on Friday for the member meetup 🙏

Hi Samy, thanks for this video, it was interesting to learn more about Marcus (and his t-shirts!). If possible could you please review some boutique hotels around the An Thuong area up to A$100 per night for a couple. Keep up the great work. Louise.

[@socialsamy]

Check out my hotel playlist I’ve got a lot of videos in that price range too but I will do a dedicated one soon 🙏

[@terje3348]

I was in Danang a couple of month aga and was surprised of how slow they drive. Never above 50 km/h between Da Nang and Hoi An.

[@dirkgottschalk4287]

[@yamuiemata]

[@socialsamy]

Heck we‘ll update soon 🙏

[@georgerenton4187]

Hey Samy congrats on the wedding brother !! I heard you say the name but couldn't quite catch it - for the name of this building you are in. Could you write its name it looks so beautiful just like the interview was. Thank you

[@socialsamy]

Muong Thanh Hotel Da Nang Beach 🙏

[@LessPisssssssssssssed]

I suck at gaming too. But I still love it. It keeps my mind spinning.

[@MarkusHellwich]

Let's be bad at a game together next time you're in Da Nang, haha... because according to my math teacher, minus and minus make a plus!

[@anthonydoan8020]

This video must have been recorded in the past. Just spent 4 days there (flying out now) and didn’t see the sun once. 😢

[@socialsamy]

Yes he’s back Monday and the whole gang is reunited soon 🙏

[@iirgendsonTyp]

I really did not like hanoi but love malaysia, thailand and so forth. I think i should get vietnam a second chance?

[@socialsamy]

Ha Noi and Da Nang are like Night and day

[@MarkusHellwich]

yes you should! du verpasst sonst eine schöne Zeit .D

[@randyxray4404]

I still have no idea what Marcus does.

[@socialsamy]

In short online marketing

[@ChrissieSM]

Doesn't Habibi mean darling? My colleague calls her Tunisian husband habibi when she or he calls.

[@socialsamy]

It’s more like a friendly term said to close friends also lovers but I heard habbibti would be more for the husband

[@maeyounes2136]

Habibi for male, habibti for female.

[@dougm3037]

Complaining about air pollution and traffic in Danang! Spend some time in DI Saigon. I'm also a civillization devote but am worried Civ7 may be a bit on the woke side. Looks like they haven't revamped the AI which is a bit of a worry. Hope I'm wrong. Will be in Danang next month if I ever get my evisa application sorted.

[@benwynn843]

Can we meet up? we just arrived in Da Nang last night from California USA_January 13 and we will be here until the January 20th 2025... It's very different from America? We feel lost.. We are staying at the Estrella Boutique hotel - very high end hotel- this is one of your videos reviews.... Hopefully this message will reach you? Thanks in advance.

[@socialsamy]

Hi Ben sorry I’m in Hanoi for my wedding this week, I will be back next week

[@MarkusHellwich]

Hey Ben I am back in da nang - so we can have a coffee Sunday 10 am gozar cafe?

[@gowalkabouttravel3881]

​@@MarkusHellwich Hi Markus... any chance you can recommend a few good cafes you love to work at? I have just arrived. Looking for somewhere open reasonably late that has long tables and I can zoom from with good wifi. In the An Thuong area. Thanks!

[@MarkusHellwich]

@@gowalkabouttravel3881 Hey, I don't know what "reasonable late" means for you but with the requirements you said I would go to Danasol, Cafe Lu or HI4 Coffee & Coworking (this one is 24h open)

[@MarkusHellwich]

was nice meeting you Benny at the Aussie Bistro

[@DayoSanX]

I thought he wore the same shirt everyday. 😂

[@socialsamy]

😂 now he has some new ones

[@MarkusHellwich]
