Da Nang dating: NOT like Thailand. Vietnamese culture is marriage-oriented. Best approach: make friends first at coffee shops, coworking, sports. Apps have scams.

Cats in Da Nang: generally well-liked but theft risks exist. Golden rule: never let cats roam outside. Keep in enclosed spaces only.
Best authentic Vietnamese food in Da Nang: street stalls at local meal times (6-8AM, 11AM-1PM, 5-7PM). Follow crowds to narrow alleys.
Mold is a hidden Da Nang problem: 70-90% humidity causes rapid growth. Causes skin/respiratory issues. Check for musty smell before renting.
Breaking a Da Nang lease? You lose deposit-no legal recourse. Best exit: find replacement tenant. Post on expat groups, offer finder's fees.
Rent in Da Nang safely: pay only 1 month + 1 deposit (not 3-6 months), check noise at night, start short-term. Rapid development means quiet streets get bars/construction overnight.
Cannot legally retire in Da Nang - no retirement visa exists. Border runs tolerated now but will likely end in 3-5 years. Vietnam wants tech workers, not retirees.
