This video documents two digital nomads' first 24 hours in Da Nang after relocating from abroad. After arriving with an e-visa (through Lynn e Visa on Facebook) and clearing immigration in 20 minutes, they stay at Flower Hotel in the My An area for £62 for four nights. Their first activities include a 6AM run along My Khe Beach and a banh mi breakfast with iced Vietnamese coffee for 90K VND total. Apartment hunting on Facebook proves competitive: they view units with 30 other people viewing eight apartments in one building but manage to secure one by paying deposit and first month's rent on the spot. Lunch at Kin Kin costs around 100K VND for pad thai and sweet and sour chicken. That evening they visit Son Tra Night Market, a 25-minute walk from My An, where grilled lobster, shrimp, oysters, and scallops cost 250K VND. February temperatures are around 25°C at midday. The video is aimed at digital nomads and tourists considering a move to Da Nang.
