Most of the local 2 to 3-star hotels along the Bach Dang stretch has a massage parlour attached to it, either on basement floor, near the carpark etc. And the gals there do hanky-panky if price is right.

Do come back with FR after u have done yr deed.

There is also an ice cream parlour where all the young gals gather on weekends. Not sure why VN gals are crazy about ice cream...

Vietnam, US prepare for President Trump’s visit to 2017 APEC forum in Da Nang

The event will take place this November in the central city of Da Nang

By Tuoi Tre News September 22, 2017, 15:54 GMT+7



Vietnam and the United States are exerting their full efforts to prepare for U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to Da Nang this November for the 2017 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.

Careful preparations are being completed for the trip, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang declared during a regular press conference on Thursday evening.

“During a meeting between Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and President Trump, as part of the former’s official U.S. visit in May, President Trump stated he would attend the 2017 APEC,” Hang said.

APEC is a regional economic forum established in 1989 and comprised of 21 member states, including Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam.

The forum is aimed at creating greater prosperity for the peoples of the region by promoting balanced, inclusive, sustainable, innovative, and secure growth as well as accelerating regional economic integration.

Vietnam joined the forum in 1998 and successfully chaired APEC 2006. The country is scheduled to host the 2017 gathering in the central city of Da Nang in November.

According to Lam Quang Minh, director of the Da Nang Department of External Relations, basic preparations for this year’s event have already been completed.

Infrastructure, transportation, and accommodation are also being taken care of, Minh elaborated.

Staff members have been sharpening their English skills for the event, the official continued, adding that 425 volunteers able to speak English and some other major languages have been selected to staff the event.

Avoid Central Vietnam this week...very wet...


Tropical depression bears down on Vietnam's central coast

By Xuan Hoa October 9, 2017 | 11:45 am GMT+7



Rough seas and heavy rain are forecast for central and northern parts of the country over the next couple of days.

A tropical depression with wind speeds of around 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour is forecast to make landfall in Da Nang and surrounding areas along Vietnam’s central coast on Monday night.

The National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting said the depression is picking up speed and will hit Da Nang and neighboring Hue, Quang Tri and Quang Binh at around 7 p.m.

More than 300 kilometers of coastline will be directly affected, and locals have been asked to watch out for thunderstorms and rough seas around major tourist attractions such as the Cham and Ly Son islands.

Heavy downpours are forecast over the entire central region for a couple of days. Rainfall of 150-200 mm is likely to drench popular tourist destinations in Da Nang and Hue, as well as Vietnam’s cave kingdom Quang Binh, according to weather forecasters.

The depression, which will also bring rain to Hanoi and some northern provinces, is expected to continue on its course to Thailand where it will weaken.

Da Nang, widely considered the third most important city in Vietnam after Hanoi and Saigon, will host the APEC Summit with world leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping expected to attend next month.

Vietnam has already suffered destructive stormy weather this year. Floods in northern Vietnam killed at least 26 people and washed away hundreds of homes in August before Typhoon Doksuri, the strongest to hit the country in years, killed at least eight people in the central region last month.

Last year, tropical storms and flooding killed 264 people in Vietnam and caused damage worth ND40 trillion ($1.75 billion), nearly five times more than in 2015.
