Yes, growing permanent expat community in Da Nang (5+ year residents with local employment/marriage to Vietnamese partners),permanence driven by connection (relationships, business, community), quality of life (affordable beach lifestyle, improved purchasing power vs. Europe), and Da Nang's "raw" authenticity.
