We went to dinner in town. Walked through the local market. They sell everything imaginable. Lots of fabric and tailors. When we want an alternative to Vietnamese food we get pizza. So far we have had 3 pizzas and they were all excellent. Walking through Danang we saw several stunning modern buildings, and many others that were just being started. In a few years this city will be unrecognizable. It’ll look just like Shanghai or Rio. Gone will be the hundreds of makeshift little "restaurants" that get set up on street corners every evening with little plastic tables and chairs that look like kindergarten chairs and portable wood burning grills. An Australian couple we befriended in our ghastly hotel told us that that they saw a lot of rats lurking just inches from the food. Luckily, we didn’t look close enough so we didn’t see any.
China Beach comes alive in the evening. Lots of people swimming, playing ball, couples necking. We discovered hundreds of shower stalls by the beach where people come to clean up after work. Most fishermen here use small round boats made of wicker (like big baskets) and sealed with tar.
