Both Danang and Hoi An a wonderful places. The people are friendly and laid back. Hoi An probably has more tailor shops per capita than anywhere else in the world. They are fast, skilled and very reasonable. There is a great public market in Hoi An with an assortment of local dishes. Both places are great to walk around and safe. The beach in Danang is legendary. It was a top R and R spot during the American war and site of an old TV series called China Beach which was the name the GIs gave to the beautiful My Khe Beach.

Watching this video, I realized how stupid I was when I left the beautiful, inexpensive Vietnam to move to the USA. Currently, it cost my family of 4 (my wife, myself daughter 15 years old and son 10 years old) about $7,500 US dollars/month to live in Richmond, VA. I booked a hotel in Virgina Beach, Virginia for this July 4th holiday for two nights for $500.00/night.

Dont get me wrong I really like DN, but it isnt as clean and chill as this video portrait it to be (it was filmed more or less on just two touristy streets) so visit for at least a week or two before you decide to stay long term.

Woah so I telling me Vietnam is more expensive than China? Why? You think 1K is cheap? 😂

Westerners sometimes leave their home countries due to high costs of living, seeking affordability and new opportunities in places like Vietnam. However, their migration often replicates familiar problems. In seeking lower costs and opportunities, they can unintentionally drive up local prices, contributing to gentrification and making it harder for local residents to afford housing. This influx can also disrupt local economies and cultures, as preferences and demands shift to cater to new arrivals rather than preserving existing community dynamics. Thus, while seeking a better life abroad, Westerners inadvertently replicate the issues they left behind, challenging the delicate balance of affordability and community in their new host countries like Vietnam. Toxic, Toxic, Toxic.
