The TOP Neighborhood in Danang for Expats!

[@Willtravelz]

Not sure if you guys noticed but I used a completely different camera this time. I'm just curious what you guys thought of the camera. Did you notice any difference whether good or bad? Or did you notice no difference at all in the camera quality?

[@twinkle14c]

What camera are you using here DJI?

[@TrackingArete]

Crystal clear picture quality and audio is great as well on this video! It's definitely better video quality as compared to the livestreams, audio seems about the same.

[@svenganzunten]

good content, thanks so far. would be nice if you leave the names of the districts and neighbourhoods in the describtion.

[@Willtravelz]

I will look to see if that specific area has a particular name but it still is a part of the an thuong neighborhood. Same as the neighborhood that I live in.

[@svenganzunten]

@Willtravelz yes, that's what I assumed, you said that you live round the corner. I had just checked where exactly that is based on the address of your butcher. It's definitely an area that I would also like. Then I read through the visa conditions for Vietnam. I didn't like that at all. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a DTV visa like in Thailand. I need a big desk and fast internet. My clients live in Germany and I live permanently in Spain and am self-employed here. I earn my money on the phone... How do you do that? Do you always do the border run?

[@Willtravelz]

@Contraloscarteles unfortunately I don't have any income at the moment (besides the small amount that I make in KZbin when I became monetized in September) so money is a big deal for me as well. As far as the visa situation I do border runs (bus in the morning to Laos and back at 6pm that night same day) every 90 days which is 4 times a year.

[@gsjackson34]

Interesting to hear Da Nang spoken of in such terms. To those of us in the draft-eligible Vietnam War era the name struck terror into our hearts. I believe it was the principal point of entry for arriving American troops.

[@Willtravelz]

Yep I know. But it's nothing to what people tell me what it USE to be. I really enjoy da nang. For me best bang for your buck city. I don't worry about my safety, have a beach, international airport and western amenities for under $800 a month.

For burger, try Roadhouse next time, it's near the walking district (Le Quang Dao street). I tried burger at both places, Fly & Roadhouse but I like Roadhouse more. Pizza is popular at Roadhouse too if you miss American foods while you're in Da Nang 😊.

I would definitely say in the an thuong neighborhood. Then you will have to find tune it into a specific accommodation. Things like how far do you want to be from the beach, do you want a pool? Do you want larger space or do you want a more luxurious place? I recommend using agoda for hotels, or if you want longer term accommodations I usually rent those off of Facebook expat groups.

Noise in DaNang is the worst. My An can be the worst for noise at night. Go to the loud noise places only if your want to totally destroy your hearing! The restaurants at night have bands playing that can be heard six blocks away. It is impossible to relax in the area! near the Raon and the Ven Yv Hotels. The band are absolutely horrendous! Do not stay in these areas.The area is about four blocks from the beach. It is also near Mia Restaurant and Bar.

So it would actually take me more time to leave my apartment go to the barber shop and then pay them for something I can do faster at my house and have already paid for and wouldn't put any more money out to.

Don't get me wrong Will. I am just trying to steer you more towards Americans who try to stay fit. I'll bring another point up. With the exception of Japan and South Korea, tap water is a no no in South East Asia, You were showing the juices and then you showed the ice. Do you know where that ice comes from? A friend of my got serious stomach poisoning when he had a juice with ice in Juarez, Mexico. You keep mentioning safety and maybe that's ok for grandma and grandpa. I guess for you, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico are out of the question, but they happened to be some of my favorite haunts. Consider this a newbie hazing but I do like your presentation in general. You just need some fine tuning. This is coming from someone that has done 100+ countries (every continent except Greenland). You haven't been to a beach until you have been to Bora Bora and Morea, They male Hawaii look lame.

@@dessaint5341 no you're observations are perfectly fine. And trust me whenever we get these juices we make sure that they are professionally made clean ice. A Good tip is to look at the ice if it has those circle holes in the middle of the ice that means it was professionally made. If it just looks like the ice that comes out of our freezers in a refrigerators then I don't get it. Luckily I've been to 20 countries in the world and never been sick.

I've done most of Africa over a decade ago. In the middle East, Dubai and Emirates are ok and so is Egypt. In South East Asia avoid Singapore and Burma. Australia, New Zealand and most of Polynisia are great. Micronesia is also worth a trip.. In the Carrebean avoid Haiti and Jamaica. Bermuda and Cayman Islands are great and so is Ariba.
