Day 2 - Da Nang Travel Diary: The Joy Cafe – A Hidden Gem for Coffee Lovers

Our second day in Da Nang was dedicated to finding the best coffee in town. We initially aimed for a highly-rated spot called "Rich Cafe," just a short walk from our hotel, Center Hotel. The early morning walk was peaceful, with the city gently waking up under a gloomy sky and a light drizzle. However, upon reaching Rich Cafe, we were disappointed to find it closed.
Luckily, just around the corner, we stumbled upon The Joy Cafe. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by its aesthetically pleasing interior and the vibrant display of souvenirs. The coffee was surprisingly affordable, costing only 35,000 VND (about ₱70). We ordered a cafe latte and an espresso.



One of the best things about The Joy Cafe is its multi-level setup. They have dining areas on the ground floor, second floor, and even a fifth floor with a view of the Han River! We opted for the fifth floor and took the elevator up. As soon as we stepped out, we were blown away by the stunning view and the charming decor. We were the only customers there, which meant we had the entire space to ourselves for a mini photoshoot!



After about 15 minutes, our coffee arrived. Of course, more pictures were taken "for the 'gram" before we finally took a sip. The coffee was fantastic – rich, flavorful, and exactly what we needed. We also ordered a croissant and muffins, which were equally delicious. Since they don't have service water, we bought a bottled water for 10,000 VND (₱20).



Before leaving, we asked one of the staff members to take some photos of us. They were incredibly polite and even asked us to rate their cafe on Google. We happily gave them five stars for their excellent service! After a relaxing two hours of chilling and enjoying our coffee, we took the elevator down to the second floor to check out the dining area. We discovered they also have a spa! We inquired about their services, but unfortunately, they didn't speak English, so we decided to skip it and head out.
Overall, The Joy Cafe was a fantastic find and a great way to start our second day in Da Nang. If you're looking for delicious and affordable coffee in a beautiful setting, this is the place to go!
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...
