  1. Mit Tag 11 endeten meine Tröts aus #Vietnam vergangene Woche abrupt. Andere Prioritäten... :-)

    An Tag 12 sind wir auf jeden Fall in der Küstenstadt Da Gang angekommen. Die Zeit dort haben wir für eine ausgiebige #Wanderung bei Gluthitze zu den Affen auf der Halbinsel Son Tra, einen etwas ausgiebigeren Strandbesuch und einen Nachtspaziergang (u.a. zur Drachenbrücke) genutzt.

    Vielleicht schiebe ich die übrigen Tage dann demnächst auch noch hinterher...

  2. So the holdays are almost over. 2 weeks in Da Nang was amazing and I 10/10 will look for international teaching jobs there. I arrived in Japan for my 2 year contract. Already blown away by a "fridge" in a convenience store that had 2 hot shelves and 2 cold shelves...

  3. Vietnam Attracts 416,000 Visitors From The Philippines During First 7 Months Of 2026

    Among the fourteen million foreign tourists Vietnam attracted during the first seven months of 2026 are visitors from the Philippines totaling 416,000, according to report by VnExpress. The authorities have described the Philippines as having the biggest increase among Southeast Asian markets.

    The 416,000 of Philippine visitors is significant as there were over 480,000 Filipinos who visited Vietnam in the entire year of 2025. It is recalled that Filipino interest in visiting Vietnam has been strong and the governments of the two nations agreed to cooperate on tourism and air connectivity. As a tourist destination, the Philippines has been very weak attracting only 5.94 foreign tourists in 2025. Vietnam attracted over 21 million foreign tourists that same year.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…

    The number of visitors from the Philippines to Vietnam jumped 63.6% year-on-year between January and July to 416,000, the biggest increase among Southeast Asian markets.

    In the region, there were huge increases also in the number of arrivals from Cambodia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. They increased by 40.8%, 31%, 27.3%, and 21.6%, according to the General Statistics Office.

    The tourism industry attributed the jump in the number of visitors from Southeast Asia to a rapidly expanding flight network and growing demand for intra-regional travel.

    Indonesia AirAsia launched a direct flight connecting Bali (Denpasar) and Da Nang on March 20 while Vietjet launched a direct route connecting Da Nang and Jakarta on April 29.

    In March, Philippines AirAsia launched a new direct route linking Da Nang with Manila in the Philippines.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Considering the strong Filipino interest on visiting Vietnam, would you be surprised to see Vietnam attract 1,000,000 visitors from the Philippines by the end of this year? What do you think makes Vietnam a special travel destination for Filipinos?

  4. It's not about cheap or not cheap. Get a grip, is that what you look for?
    The Vietnamese are just fucking hospitable, if you just take a little time and learn about the culture and where they are coming from.
    And yes, you can have a great time and it won't set you back a gazillion of peanut money.
    Delve in there, you'll be surprised.

  6. American Expat Stays Devoted to Wife Through Life’s Trials

    By WPS News Staff Writers

    Da Nang, Vietnam – July 15, 2026

    Nestled in a tranquil coastal city far from the clamor of the United States, an American expatriate has woven a life of love, loyalty, and quiet strength. Michael (name changed for privacy), 58, sits in his simple home with a view of the South China Sea, sharing a story that redefines devotion and home. To protect the privacy of those involved, all names and specific locations have been altered.

    Michael and his wife, Thuy, share a bond that shines through life’s hardships. “She’s my soul,” Michael says, his voice warm but steady. “No one’s ever meant more to me. She fills my days with her heart, and I try to give her everything in return.” Their love, built across cultural and linguistic gaps, is a powerful reminder of what connection can endure. Yet, their story carries a heavy weight: Thuy battles breast cancer, a disease that affects one in thirteen women, with a survival rate of about 40%. Michael, who has seen cancer’s toll before, faces this reality with unflinching clarity. “She won’t outlast it forever,” he says, gazing at the sea. “But we have time, and I’m making every moment matter.”

    Their life in Vietnam is no accident—it’s a choice Michael embraces fully. “The USA? It’s a faint memory now,” he says. “This is my home. My dog’s here, my stepson’s here. I’m staying put.” His stepson, 16-year-old Nam (name changed for privacy), is a reserved presence in their home. Cultural and language differences have kept them from being as close as Michael might wish, but his commitment is unwavering. “He’s my son,” he says plainly. “That’s all that matters.”

    Michael’s resolve to stay in Vietnam is rooted in love and duty, even as he reflects on those who choose differently. “We all know the stories,” he says, “men who leave their wives in tough times because they’re not getting what they need, chasing someone else to carry the load.” The double entendre is intentional, a nod to the emotional and physical burdens of caregiving. “It’s a real issue,” Michael continues. “But if you love her—truly love her—you stay. You stay loyal, you stay faithful, and you honor her to the end. That’s what love demands.”

    The friends Michael left in the States are a distant ache. “I miss them,” he admits, “but they’re there, and I’m here. That’s the truth I live with.” When Thuy’s fight with cancer ends, as Michael knows it will, he plans to stay. “I’ll rest beside her when my time comes,” he says, his tone resolute. “This is where I belong.”

    Michael is certain there will be no one else. “She’s my one,” he says. “True love doesn’t come again. Even if this disease steals her too soon, I’m thankful I found her.”

    As evening falls over Da Nang, Michael walks his dog along the shore, a daily ritual that keeps him grounded. He speaks of Thuy’s resilience, her stubborn light in the face of illness, and the life they’ve shaped together. For Michael, the future is here—in Thuy’s smile, Nam’s quiet presence, and the steady companionship of his dog. The United States may fade to a curiosity, but this corner of Vietnam, where love and loyalty endure, is his forever home.

    Note: All names and specific locations have been changed to protect the privacy of the individuals involved.

  7. 🫟 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒔 🫟

    Hay imágenes que cuentan una guerra mejor que cualquier libro.

    Una de ellas es una radiografía tomada el **1 de octubre de 1966**, durante la guerra de Vietnam.
    A simple vista parece una placa médica más... hasta que descubres que lo que aparece dentro del cuerpo del paciente no es una fractura ni un hueso roto.

    Es una granada de mortero.

    El protagonista de esta historia se llamaba **Nguyen Van Loung**, un soldado del Ejército de Vietnam del Sur.
    Aquel día viajaba en un vehículo blindado cerca de **Da Nang** cuando su unidad fue atacada con fuego de mortero.

    Una de las granadas de **60 milímetros** impactó contra la escotilla abierta del vehículo, rebotó en su casco y, de una forma casi imposible de creer, penetró entre la clavícula y el hombro izquierdo hasta quedar alojada bajo la piel, muy cerca de la axila.

    Lo más increíble no fue que sobreviviera al impacto.

    Fue que la granada **no explotó**.

    Aquello convirtió el rescate en una auténtica pesadilla.
    Cualquier movimiento brusco podía hacer detonar el proyectil.
    No solo estaba en peligro la vida de Loung, sino también la de los médicos, enfermeros y cualquier persona que se acercara a él.

    Fue trasladado de urgencia al Hospital Naval estadounidense de Da Nang, donde las radiografías dejaron a todos sin palabras.

    Tenían delante a un hombre vivo... con un explosivo dentro del cuerpo.

    El caso pasó inmediatamente a manos del capitán **Harry H. Dinsmore**, jefe de cirugía.
    Antes de empezar la operación pidió la ayuda de un especialista en desactivación de explosivos, **John Lyons**, porque aquello no era una intervención quirúrgica cualquiera.

    Había que extraer una granada activa sin provocar la explosión.

    Tras una operación extremadamente delicada, consiguieron retirarla con éxito.

    Nguyen Van Loung sobrevivió.

    Y todos los que estaban en el quirófano también.

    Por aquella intervención, Harry Dinsmore recibió posteriormente la **Cruz de la Marina**, una de las condecoraciones más importantes de la Armada de Estados Unidos.

    La radiografía se hizo famosa porque resulta casi imposible de creer.

    No parece una imagen de un ser humano.

    Parece el dibujo de una película de acción.

    Pero ocurrió de verdad.

    Y es una de esas fotografías que recuerdan que la guerra rara vez se parece a los mapas que vemos en los informativos.

    En los mapas hay flechas.

    En los comunicados hay cifras.

    En los discursos hay estrategias.

    Pero, al final, las guerras siempre terminan dentro del cuerpo de alguien.

    En forma de metralla.

    De cicatrices.

    O, como en este caso, de una granada que, por un capricho del destino, decidió no explotar.

    A veces se habla de milagros.

    Los médicos prefieren hablar de probabilidades.

    Sea como sea, Nguyen Van Loung vivió para contarlo gracias a una combinación de suerte, sangre fría y un equipo que fue capaz de operar con un explosivo real a pocos centímetros de sus manos.

    Y esa radiografía sigue recordándonos que, detrás de cada uniforme, siempre hay una persona cuya vida puede cambiar en apenas un segundo.
