“Thanks Dan, I've watched 10 different vloggers from this city in the last two weeks. If this "undiscovered" place keeps it character for more than two years, I'll be very surprised.”

“I found Quy Nhon 14 years ago, before the crowds, just as they were preparing for a lot of work on central seafront area. To my benefit the long modern paved promenade was complete for my marathon training runs.”

“That's a coincidence, I've just watched a video by someone else about this city. She had to go to the hospital but she did show us the beach afterwards.”

“When I went there 12 years ago my friend told me that the only way to stay here long term is to teach English (he was doing that). They weren't really picky, just having a passport from an English speaking country was good enough back then.”

“Когда я смотрю подобные видео с людьми изображающими счастье, вспоминаю анекдот моего детства. На уроке в школе учительница объясняет детям: — Дети, по стройплощадке надо ходить в каске. Я знаю одного мальчика, он шел без каски и ему на гол”
