I am in Danang ,Vietnam - part 1

I am in Danang , Vietnam -1

Yes, I am on a holiday for a few days . This is a short break after working hard for the past few months. Well, at this age, why do I need to work so hard ? Out of responsibility and a challenge after I decide to continued working .  I have to stop working some day as I am just human:

Why do I choose Danang for a break ? No, reason just accompanying my wife  and she wants to join tour with her sister . Well , why not ? This is a place of history.

Danang lies in the central of Vietnam and it is the location of many Americans GIs during the 10 years Vietnam war . There are rumors that the GI's left many off spring in Danang which have handsome or beautiful features .By the way,
Vietnam also went through a 80 years old war with the French.
The city lies in the path in the only way out to the world for three countries ie Vietnam , Laos and Cambodia via land and sea. It is a strategic military base . The last battle of the Vietnam war was in Danang and it is  where the American forces and fleets withdraw from the air , land and sea.

Danang now focus on tourism and it boost ifs cleanliness . There is a lot of developments in this seaside . It has two seasons ie the hot season for 9
Months and the raining season for 3 months ie October to December and these are the coldest months as the cold wind comes from the winter in China .When it is hot, it is real hot in the dry season.

The seaside has one of the most beautiful beach in the world and alone rhe coast lies many high class hotels and one of it, is a six stars hotel and one room cost US$30k a nite . It is for high ranking diplomats or celebrities . However, some part of the 1.8 million population people is still very poor and there is several
Large tracts of empty land waiting for developments in the future and is owned by some rich families in North Vietnam.

So far , the food is so so and have yet to taste the real local food.  We visited the night market, the silk village and stays in Atlas hotel , a three stars hotel.

More write up in the tour will be coming . By the way, merry Christmas .
