some new street art found nearby.

Construction projects abandoned while new ones spring up

One of the biggest gripes that anyone that lives in Da Nang is almost certainly going to have at least once and probably much more frequently than that is the omnipresent construction. People say "Da…

Marble statue park in Da Nang, Vietnam

One of the tourist attractions here in the city of Da Nang is the Marble Mountain. It's one of those things that once you have gone to it one time you don't really ever need to go again. I can unders…

The Workshop in Da Nang, Vietnam. A different kind of pub

This place has been around for a really long time and I had been to it before. In the past though, it just kind of seemed like a place where people sat around and smoked weed, which isn't exactly my…

They've kind of given up on the fake "Go Green" stuff in Da Nang

Vietnam has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the most environmentally irresponsible countries in the world. Despite having just a fraction of the USA population they manage to pollute far…

Found some more Jesus statues in the middle of a field

I haven't seen the inside of a church in many years but I am familiar with the stations of the cross and how almost every Catholic church I have been in in my life has had them. These marble statues…

Some good street-art finds in a homemade skate park outside of Da Nang
