Da Nang : La vérité que personne ne dit sur le vietnam
Audio Summary
AI Summary
The speaker expresses extreme dissatisfaction with Danang, Vietnam, calling it overrated, terrible, and a waste of time. He directly addresses other YouTubers who have praised Danang and Vietnam, accusing them of lying and misleading their audiences. He attributes his negative experience to their false recommendations and states that he regrets coming to the city.
One of the primary complaints is the constant noise, specifically the incessant honking of car horns. He describes it as happening every two seconds without reason, causing him significant stress and frustration. He even mentions that he will mute the audio in the video at some point to emphasize the constant noise pollution.
He challenges the common perception that Danang is a "little paradise on earth" in Southeast Asia. While acknowledging that the beach might be beautiful, unlike the sewers of Bangkok, he asserts that everything else about the city is awful. He even suggests he could have made a short video expressing his disgust and been done with it.
Another point of contention is the cost of living. Contrary to claims that life in Danang is cheap, the speaker finds it to be the same price, if not more expensive, than Pattaya. He gives an example of a lasagna costing four to five times more than it would in Pattaya. While admitting that cheap, unappetizing sandwiches are available for around 2 euros, he argues that in Pattaya, one can get a good meal for the same price.
The speaker also notes a lack of local people in Danang, observing mostly foreigners, whom he sarcastically refers to as "failures from Bali" or failed expatriates from other countries like Bulgaria, Moldova, or Georgia, who came for a lower cost of living but found the quality of life to be poor. He explicitly states that Danang does not offer the same comfort as Thailand and that the infrastructure is terrible. He goes as far as to say that if he had to choose between staying in Belgium or moving to Danang, he would prefer to remain in Belgium, despite his known dislike for his home country.
He criticizes the local gym (Pig Gym), describing its infrastructure as "éclaté," with broken equipment, no space, and inadequate machines.
Regarding traffic, beyond the constant honking, he highlights the dangerous pedestrian crossings. He explains that while there are designated crossings, drivers completely disregard them, forcing pedestrians to constantly dodge cars and scooters. This experience, coupled with the relentless noise, makes him incredibly agitated and irritable. He draws a parallel to people in Belgium and France who become bitter online when seeing videos of happy people in Thailand, stating that Danang is making him similarly bitter. He intends to leave prematurely.
The speaker recounts an incident where a scooter driver deliberately drove onto the sidewalk to pass in front of him, demonstrating a complete disregard for pedestrians. He describes Danang as a dangerous city, citing an incident on his first night where a drunk individual became aggressive towards him and his friends without provocation—something he claims has never happened to him in Thailand.
He also mentions the unfavorable climate, noting that it's colder and cloudier than Thailand. While he admits that the Golden Bridge and its surrounding landscape at Banahills were beautiful and provided a brief respite, he emphasizes that once back in the city, the "interminable sound pollution" and unwelcoming locals return. He contrasts the Vietnamese people, whom he describes as uncaring and aggressive (pushing and elbowing), with the polite and respectful people of Thailand.
His experience with a foot massage in Danang was also negative. Despite being more expensive than in Thailand, he found the masseuses to be unskilled, lacking proper technique, protocol, or pressure.
He concludes by strongly advising viewers not to visit Danang, reiterating that it is a terrible and disgusting place. He plans to criticize Vietnam in all his future videos and is actively looking for flights to leave early. He urges viewers to like and share his video to warn others and calls on other YouTubers to be honest about their experiences in Danang, rather than misleading their audience. He states that he has given Vietnam two chances (Hanoi and Danang) and will not return, asserting that all places in Vietnam are overrated. He promises a comparative video between Pattaya/Thailand and Danang/Vietnam in the future.
