Early Morning Fishing in Da Nang, Vietnam

What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Da Nang?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Da Nang if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Da Nang. It is considered rude to point with your finger, so it is best to gesture with your whole hand. It is also important to dress modestly, as shorts and tank tops are considered inappropriate. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of religious sites and to avoid taking photos without permission. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local customs and to avoid making assumptions about the culture," commented one expat who made the move to Da Nang, Vietnam.
