I found Da Nang to be incredibly dull and spent more time in Hoi An, which sucked too after a while with all the Chinese tourists spitting everywhere.
Why would anyone choose to stay in Da Nang when you have Saigon, Bangkok, Bali etc so close.
I enjoyed the shit out of Da Nang and will return next year... but I will be taking sand to the beach this time

I live in a massive city of 15 million people. I love Da Nang because it's quiet, pleasant, has nice beaches, friendly locals and it's cheap. Not everyone vacations strictly for notches. Sometimes it's good to leave the big cities for a sleepy little coastal city. I felt genuinely refreshed after 8 days in Da Nang. I intend to head this again next time I visit Vietnam.
I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

Notches are not that hard to get in Danang, I've been here a few days and I've fucked 2 girls already. They are very responsive on facebook/zalo. There are almost no caucasians here...

Quiet? Are you deaf? People there honk all the time as if their lives depend on it. And there is construction everywhere, included in the city centre.

I'm guessing you've never lived anywhere in Asia for an extended period of time? I live in China. Da Nang is extremely quiet compared to Shenzhen and other Tier-1 Chinese cities.

Yes I am rather new to SEA and this is my first time in Vietnam. I have never been to China so I can't really compare. Is Danang is more quiet than, say, Saigon (District 1)?
As the OP of this thread said, I have noticed you can easily get a "bad man" (fuckboy) reputation here. The manager of my building has been giving me nasty stares lately. It's mostly the local men who behave like that, the women seem not to really care.
Can Vietnam veterans give some advice in how to be discreet in fucking multiple girls here? I'd like to keep a low profile

I'm not joking. Even in the outer districts here, let alone smaller towns, Viets always remember your face because you stick out like a sore thumb. They're always watching your every move, and they have good memories.
If guys are giving you nasty stares only a few days in, you need to be careful. Watch your six. Don't say you haven't been warned.
That sounds creepy. Well, this manager in question actually indirectly came to warn me he was butthurt. He told me I should park my scooter a bit on the side of the entrance. Some sort of Beta message to say "don't step on my turf".
Yes, you are right Papi Rico. Sometimes the only choice is to step aside and disappear. I'm into fucking girls and making money. Not into confrontations with people below me.

I was staying in HCM District 1 and my BNB was right in an alley and by the 4th day(I was there for 6), the storekeepers who were mostly men had already recognized me who would "go out in the day alone and come back with a girl." Mine were pretty chill about it and actually had it in them to shut up about the other girls whenever they see me with a girl.
Not all though. I went to a cafe in HCM as part of a date and when we were paying, the waiter said something to my girl and when I asked her what he said, she said he asked if I was her girlfriend. The sort of question you would never expect a waiter from else where to ask, customers' privacy works in weird ways in Vietnam. I had the sense to never go back to that cafe for dates.

I dunno boys... I've been in Saigon for about 9 months now and I'm ready to get the fuck out of here, enough is enough. I'm currently doing a quick tour of Vietnam as I didn't leave Saigon in 9 months.
Started in Da Lat. It was very fucking cold but that was nice after the heat of Saigon. And the buildings were tall and strong, in fact, it was my most immediate liking of a place so far in Vietnam - and you know why? Because it was like Europe. It felt very Christmassy, if you know what I mean, like I'd suddenly arrived in Vienna or Switzerland or something.
Then I went to Nha Trang - the seaside resort. That was a shithole to be honest, made Pattaya seem like a cultured place. I was travelling with a Viet girl so no gaming of any kind. Full of tourists, vast numbers of mostly Russian and Chinese. Everyone in Asia hates the Chinese because they are loud and rude by most other countries standards. The central areas have pushy and aggressive street vendors but they can just be ignored. Finding a decent coffee is damn near impossible - thank God for ABC bakery company in Vietnam if you want European style breakfast (croissants, Americano coffee etc) -I like Asian food but not for breakfast.
The sea there is filthy as are the beaches. We rode on a long road to some "surf" beach - yes it was winter and off-season but man was it garbage! Why anyone would chose to stay in a resort there when Thailand is so close, I have no idea.
I then flew to Da Nang where I am now. At first it seemed very boring (Viet girl and I parted now) but it was enhanced by renting a bike. It's OK and outside of town a kilometer or two is the more beachy area on the way to Hoi An. Perhaps one could stay there longer term but it would be fucking boring I should imagine.
Put it this way... Saigon is pretty fucking boring and it's the most major city in Vietnam so tier 2 cities are more like towns.
I rode by myself to Hoi An and got the fuck out of that tourist Disney dump as soon as I could! Everything overpriced and full of Asian & Western tourists, including daft European bitches wearing the customary elephant-print pants and dreaded dreadlocks, with Mangina ginger-beared boyfriends.
I'll fly to Hanoi this evening (begrudgingly) just to check it off so I never need an excuse to come back to Vietnam lol.
Early in my stay in Vietnam, Leighton Blackstock and I met up - he stayed a week before bailing back to Bangkok. That's how long it took him to realize that Vietnam basically... kinda sucks. It's just not developed or international enough yet to be very exciting for a Westerner used to some basics.
I could do a full write-up if wanted but it wouldn't exactly be very positive!

I loved Vietnam. Saigon was litty.
Cute, refined girls, locals were nice enough, food was great. Almost no complaints except that it does get boring from time to time and perhaps the language barrier. I did no beach trips, but other expats were very accommodating. I want to stay longer next time or maybe check out Da Nang.
Come to Cebu. Much worse. Primitive aggressive girls with no tact (that includes middle class and up) or common sense. Locals don't really fuck with foreigners like that. It's just a very bad vibe but still beats out my hometown so...

Christ... sat here in reception waiting for the plane, two veggie-heads just asked if they could do some laundry. The Viet girl said sure, it's 5,000 VND per kilo.
The cunt that looks like a boy said in her whiny Australian accent, "do you think there's a way we could do it ourselves so it's cheaper?"
Annoyingly the Viet girl agreed, though I wish she'd told them to go fuck themselves.
Made me actually feel ashamed to have the same skin colour - 5,000 VND is 0.22 USD... 22 fucking cents, and they "want it cheaper"
Fucking elephant-print cunts - and I'm sure they're loaded with morals about not exploiting poor people in Asia.

Sandstorm it sounds like you had a bad time because Vietnam is not Bangkok or Europe.
Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

Arrived in Hanoi this evening - now this actually feels like a real city! Not what I was imaging at all... Of course I'll need to check it out properly by daylight but it seems solid and old, like a city should be. Saigon feels like it was built a few months ago.

Can't say i agree with you Sandstorm, I love Vietnam.
I love the food and the lack of western fast food chains. The people are friendly and not trying to rip you off all the time and I like Vietnamese girls.
I've been to Saigon, Hanoi, Da Nang and Hoi An and enjoy them all. I like Hanoi the least out of all of them because everything closes by 11pm and it's very quiet compared to Saigon and without the beaches of Da Nang.
Hoi An is my favourite place in Vietnam, I love the old buildings and feel of the old town and getting out into the country side. Even though it does have a lot of tourists so what, they've mostly been Korean when I have been there.

Bump. Any of you fine gents been back to, or are still in, Da Nang? It is still a top spot for travel later this year in my to-do list for LTR/wife shopping.

Anyone teaching English in HCMC? Thinking about making the leap but don't have experience (only degree and TEFL cert). Money doesn't look as good as China from what I can see but I'm more attracted to HCMC as a location.

What’s the lowdown on Hanoi? I don’t see a Hanoi sheet. Anybody been or live there for a significant amount of time?
How are girls in terms of easiness and looks? I hear they’re more conservative and ‘traditional’ up north

Hanoi girls are classier, dress better in general than girls from the rest of Vietnam.
