    I’ve just returned from 2 awesome months in Thailand and Vietnam. I’m back in Sydney and it’s freezing and to be honest very boring. No entertainment, ridiculously expensive. Crazy real estate prices. Over governed and policed. Da Nang is looking very appealing for a new home. Not sure if I can live there full time but may give it a try. Your not missing anything in Oz M8.

      Do it Glenn! My girlfriend and I moved to Da Nang about 6 months ago from the US (we are 35 and 28) and we absolutely loved it there… we are now living in Hoi An on the beach side and love it even more… the quality of life is 1000000x better… we likely will never go back to the states. Best decision we’ve ever made moving here.

    I can't believe how much Vietnam has changed! I was here in 1995 after the country had just opened to Americans....it was nothing like this. It was poor, tourists were mostly backpackers,, and for many people the last time they saw an American was during the Vietnam War. Beer was 25 cents a bottle and our guesthouse was $10-$12 a night. The economic miracle this country has experienced is just mind-boggling and the standard of living has skyrocketed!

    I have been to Vietnam many times over the years and i remember going htere when it wasn't too much of a tourist hotspot.
    I hope that people understand that Hoi an is a great place four tourists and also relies on tourism but it's still very important to remember that this is where people live and where they should feel comfortable living.
    I see so many rude tourists that think that because they are in a country that unfortunately has lower living standards that they can be disrespectful to the locals.
