Describing Da Nang is impossible, as changes from block to block are vast! One neighborhood is very much a traditional Vietnamese village, with people cooking in outdoor kitchens and using sidewalks as their dining rooms. On the next street over there's a 12-story high-rise, with accommodations that wouldn't look out of place in any other modern city around the world. On the beach, there's a huge all-inclusive resorts that shares a border with a small hotel, which in turn shares a border with three or four houses nestled together. 

So while the photo I took in Da Nang won't sit well with PETA, it's completely acceptable, if not disturbingly accurate, for Vietnam. (And no, I didn't partake.)
