I ❤️ Da Nang Vietnam 2025 - Day 1 - Center Hotel Da Nang - 07/25/2025



Day 1 - Centre Hotel Da Nang

Our Da Nang adventure started with a late arrival at the Centre Hotel (around 10 pm!). It's perfectly located – right in the heart of the action, surrounded by foot spas and coffee shops, just east of the Dragon Bridge. We booked it for our 9-day stay, and its central location was a huge plus.
Harris, one of their super friendly staff, greeted us as we hopped out of our Grab car. He whisked our bags away and helped us check in. The 24/7 reception area is gorgeous – modern and bright. They even have a souvenir shop and spa with discounts for hotel guests.



We'd booked three airport rooms, but the last one was on a different floor. Gracia asked if we could all be together (we were a family/friend group), and luckily, they had a vacant room on our floor! Even better, they upgraded me to a Super Deluxe room – score!
Our fifth-floor room was practically next to the elevator – super convenient! Harris showed us in, but the key card was a bit temperamental, so we went old-school with a regular key 🗝️. It was a non-smoking room (smoking rooms are available on each floor).



Opening the door was like a mini-wow moment! The room was huge, spotless, and smelled amazing. A king-size bed with super soft pillows and comforters, a small fridge, a TV with 5000+ free channels (and super-fast 100mbps wifi!), a closet, chairs, a coffee table, and a big mirror. The lighting was a bit basic – one switch for all the lights – but there were two handy reading lights. One thing I noticed was that the smoke detector seemed to be missing. Plenty of power outlets though, which is always a plus!
The bathroom was equally impressive – clean, with a bathtub, a nice sink, a hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries and towels. The hotel has a rooftop, but it was under construction during our stay. Still, the view of the city was incredible!



Our entire stay was just wonderful. The staff were amazing, cleaning our rooms daily, changing beddings and towels, and replenishing toiletries and refreshments. Check-out was a breeze – we handed in our keys, they casually asked if we'd had anything from the bar (we said no!), and we were on our way!
Overall, a fantastic stay at a great location. Highly recommend!
Location: Da Nang, Vietnam

Day 1 - NAIA terminal 3 - Trapped in Manila's Monsoon Mayhem: A Race Against the Rain to Catch My Flight   Manila had been a soggy mess all week. Rain, relentless and torrential, had transformed the city into a watery labyrinth. It was the kind of downpour that made you question your life choices, especially the decision to book a flight to Vietnam during monsoon season. An orange alert, a constant digital companion on my phone, served as a grim reminder of the flooding chaos engulfing the city. News reports of cancelled flights, including one to North Vietnam earlier that day, fueled my growing anxiety.   My 8 pm flight to Da Nang loomed, a source of both excitement and palpable dread. Mader and Badet’s earlier flight had successfully braved a typhoon in the Philippine West Sea, their tales of gloomy Vietnamese weather offering a bittersweet comfort. Despite their experience, the uncertainty gnawed at me. The weight of a looming Thursday deadline at 4 pm ad...

Tokyo Disneyland: A Delicious Detour to Eastside Cafe – March 10, 2025   Post-parade, our stomachs were rumbling louder than any rollercoaster. We were starving! The problem? Disneyland was packed, and every restaurant had a wait time that rivaled the lines for Space Mountain. But our resourceful Ate and Kuya remembered a hidden gem near the entrance: Eastside Cafe.   This table-service restaurant, tucked away in World Bazaar, promised a welcome respite from the park's frenetic energy. World Bazaar, with its early 20th-century Victorian theming, is already a feast for the eyes, and Eastside Cafe perfectly complements the atmosphere. It's like stepping into a charming Italian trattoria, complete with rich wood paneling, antique-style furnishings, and gorgeous murals depicting Italian landscapes. Even the frosted glass partitions added to the cozy, intimate feel.   Despite the crowds, the line at Eastside Cafe was surprisingly manageable. We sig...

I ❤️ Tokyo 2025 - Day 2 - Disneyland - Lilo & Stitch Tiki Room - 03/10/2025

Tiki Room Adventure: A Surprisingly Fun Disney Break!   Okay, so picture this: we're buzzing from all the Disney magic, ready to tackle some rides. But hold up! The app shows hour-long waits for everything popular. We're not about that life. We need a strategic break, a Disney pit stop if you will.   That's where the Enchanted Tiki Room: Stitch Presents "Aloha E KOMO Mai!" swooped in to save the day. Only a 15-minute wait? Sold! The Adventureland location was a bonus – a little escape from the main hustle. The waiting area was surprisingly spacious, with plenty of seats. They even offered translation devices for non-English speakers – seriously impressed!   Stepping into the Tiki Room felt like entering a mini-theater. No photos or videos allowed (bummer, but understandable), so we just soaked it all in. The show itself? A whole lot of colorful robotic birds singing and doing their thing. Honestly, I kinda dozed off a bit. It...
