A family of three shares a typical day in their life living in Da Nang, Vietnam, after relocating from Dubai nearly two years ago. The day begins with maneuvering a motorbike out of a tightly packed parking area, then dropping their daughter at school. The parents discuss the overwhelming food options in Vietnam, often leading to indecision, and settle on bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes) and bún chả (noodle soup with meatballs). They visit a local bakery and coffee shop, noting the frequent opening and closing of businesses.
