It's a bit of both. I'm based in Da Nang in central Vietnam, specifically in Ngu Hanh Son. This area is a bit removed from the bustling central hub, so it's not overwhelmingly crowded. However, if you venture into the heart of the city, especially during peak hours, it's a different story. The central areas get packed with people, and traffic jams are a routine affair.

Certainly, being close to Da Nang Economic University, my surroundings are lively, to say the least. The constant buzz of students makes it hectic, but on the bright side, there are plenty of spots to hang out, so it's a good mix of energy and entertainment.

I'm more inclined towards serene environments. The tranquility allows me to focus on my work and studies. During my leisure time, I find solace in quieter spots, providing me with the personal space needed for reflection and relaxation.

That would be just about ten days ago when I attended the Countdown Da Nang 2024 to welcome the new year. The Dragon Bridge was the focal point, drawing in a sea of people eager to witness performances by renowned singers and a spectacular fireworks display. It was bustling, almost bursting at the seams, but the vibe was electric. A bit too crowded for my liking, but it was a blast.
