Imagine the letter "S". Vietnam is shaped like an s. We're in the part of the country that juts out to the right the farthest. Da Nang is the capital of this region, and Mel spent some time here during the war at Da Nang Air Base. There's not much left of the base now. It sits next to China Beach.
This part of the country has many typhoons. So you can see sand bags on lots of the roofs to try to protect them during typhoons.
This area has the highest temperatures. Right now, at 2 p.m., it's 80 degrees but feels 10 degrees warmer because of the humidity. We've had no rain so far.
