Stoners In Da Nang
Travis, I totally understand if this post needs to be taken down. Does anyone know where to get some pot? Since I've been here I've been getting it at the My Ann bar strip area, where all the tourists go, and pick up a gram for 500k VND. They sell it behind the counter and they have a menu ranging from $500k to $1M VND per gram, which seems really steep. I heard it’s possible to find grams for 100k if you connect with the right people $500k for 5 grams seems about right. Any recommendations where I should go?

@Travis Carrasquillo so is pot fairly well tolerated by the police?
My very 1st visit to Danang, Hoi An
Hi, Will be in Danang in a few weeks time, being my first visit to Vietnam, would love to connect with any ladies available, if not, would appreciate your advice on which markets I can visit to get cashew nuts and other Viet stuff and have reasonable nice food court. I have read stuff in the Classroom and am well prepared but still a little nervous, after seeing some snatch thefts and taxi scams videos on youtube, I know Travis did mention its very safe in Danang (thanks for that!). Anything I can do to be more prepared? Should I take a self defense course before I land LOL

It would not hurt to have some openhanded skills, no matter where you are in the world. It would give you more confidence in case you were attacked , you would be able to take care of and handle yourself. You can even learn this on YouTube (street smart self defense for women). Learn to be aware of your situation at all times, how to walk with confidence, so you don’t look like an easy target. The three most vulnerable areas of an attacker would be his eyes, throat and groin. If you are ever attacked, scream FIRE 🔥 that will really draw peoples attention to you. Obviously, if you can run away, do so. But if not, fight like hell. Most attackers do not want to be challenged, they look for a weak prey. You will probably never need these self-defense training tips, but if you ever do need them, you will have the confidence and knowledge how to use them. Have fun and stay aware.
Always Do the Check
Since I’ve been traveling a lot in the past year, I have frequently instituted the stop and check procedure. Generally, I apply this to anywhere I sit or plop down luggage. When leaving airport seating, turn around and look at your seating area. When leaving your plane seat, inspect the seat, under the seat, and the pocket in front of it if you use that. When leaving a sleeper bus, inspect your seat and any trays or slots. Finally, with hotel rooms always do the room check before leaving. Look in every drawer, shake out the sheets/blankets, and even check the bathroom for forgotten items. With 9 months of traveling, I only lost 2 things, and my wife lost her glasses in Sapa. I lost a neck pillow that I think I put around my neck and it fell off as I was leaving a sleeper bus. The other possibility is leaving it on the seat I put it on, but I was insistent on not doing that. I also lost an awesome wire that could switch between Apple, type B, and type C. I was using it on a sleeper bus.

Good advice! I left my Kindle reader on a plane flying into LAX. It went on to Hawaii and I went to New Zealand. Unbelievably, I was able to retrieve it 30 days later, when I came back to LAX.

Heavy rain and wind in Da Nang today. As of now the airport is closed from 6a.m. on the morning of Oct. 27 to 4.am. Oct. 28. Likely heavy rain for the next 2 days. I will keep everyone updated. Weather is fine in Northern and Southern Vietnam.
