        Around 6 😂

        No, I will not go with you to drink 🤣

        Also, have you stayed here during covid? Because at that time it was really not many people, and everyone knows each other

          Oh I’ve been living in Danang and Hoi An the entire time.

          No drink needed 😉 I’m riding in Laos at the moment so not there anyway.

          I was there for probably that first year and half of COVID, until that summer they stopped renewing visas and told a lot of us to go home (I’ve been on tourist visas the entire time) Went to Mexico for six months, as soon as the borders opened I came running back within the week.

            I’ve been here, mostly in Hanoi the entire time

            My good friend recently moved to Danang, next time for a visa run I would probably take a flight to Danang and then to the border there(because it’s 150km)

            We stayed here during covid the whole time, extensions, paid visas, illegally, with no money, it was fun 😂

              It’s about 250km each direction. Taking a bus or riding yourself, it pretty much takes the entire day to go and come back. Made that ride hundreds of times now.

              I’ve also overstayed for months at a time 😅 Overstayed twice and was still able to do a visa run an come back same day 😂

                  About 150 from Hue. And Hue is 100 from Danang. Roads are fine, it’s a pretty beautiful journey out there.

                  The town on the other side in Laos isn’t much though, and if you have to stay awhile to wait for the new visa it’s going to get pretty boring. Lao Bao is military so it takes a few days to update your exit to immigration…

                  You have work visa or just doing tourist visas over and over?
