Day 83: Da Nang

Miss Ha is wearing her Cliff Richard T-shirt this morning. Despite considerable official apathy, Roger has a full programme for us here in central Vietnam and we are heading through the suburbs of Da Nang at first light. Familiar urban landscape of sheds, shacks, uncollected rubbish, corrugated iron roofs, the mottled and streaked concrete of half-finished buildings. Cities out here in the East tend to grow according to need. There is no concept of civic architecture or town planning.
