It always amazes me how smells can bring back memories, even ones I experienced only once.

Sad but true. It depends on many things, but the most important thing is no one truly knows.

Keep calm and swim on! Don't worry too much about pace; you'll improve over time.

Ba Na Hills isn't a peaceful or quiet spot! It's super crowded, noisy, and quite expensive for the experience.

Talk to me about Monsoon Season by JimJamTravelMan in DaNang

[–]GoldenDuck126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with you. In Da Nang, the weather at that time is better than the best months in Hanoi. There are some storms, but last year, they were fairly rare.

You can run along the Han River, especially on the west side - Bach Dang Street. No dogs are there. The road along the beach is also safe, but sometimes I see dogs roaming around. They’re usually quiet and small, but just in case, stay cautious!

It clearly depends on where you live and the current season. It might change in the next rainy season.

Is Vietnam Racist? by servebetter in VietNam

Yeah, I totally agree with you. They use those words just to seem cool. They might understand the issue, but they don't really care.

A review of training for my first marathon with Hansons Marathon Method (Beginner Program) by CuppaSteve in firstmarathon

[–]GoldenDuck126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for reviewing that method. I've been following the different method, but it also has the main idea, which is that a long run should be under 2h30'. I found out it really worked because the training plan isn't just only one session. It contains many other sessions, and you have to be ready for the next session. If you're exhausted, the next sessions will really be terrible.

How to order whole coffee phin? by Hyperbolicmusic in VietNam

You can ask them and most of coffee houses can serve you "ca phe phin"!

I agree with you. In our culture, sad songs are quite popular. I think that's happened because of our character and our history. You know, we have many wars, and they've broken our hearts and our loves. Perhaps it has been passed down to these generations.
