We have arrived in Da Lat! We love the cool weather in Da Lat and it is one of our favorite places in Vietnam. The worrisome thing about Vietnam and SE Asia is crossing the roads safely as a pedestrian. In this episode I will show you how to cross the roads in SE Asia safely. We look at some food and meal prices in Da Lat and I will also talk about the good and bad points and some comparisons between Vietnam and Thailand. And we'll see if Da Lat is a good place for living full time as a retiree. I feel Vietnam has a lot to offer RIPpers (Retirees In Paradise) so let's see more about living in Vietnam and about the people in this continuing series.

During our trip we will continue to contemplate the question, “what would life be like living in Vietnam as a retiree?” We will continue to see what the upsides and downsides are to living in a communist country like Vietnam. Here is a little info about Da Lat.

Đà Lạt, or Dalat (pop. 209,301 as of 2010, of which about 185,509 are urban inhabitants), is the capital of Lâm Đồng Province in Vietnam. The city is located 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level
The city’s temperate weather stands in contrast to Vietnam's otherwise tropical climate. With its year-round cool weather, Da Lat supplies temperate agriculture products for all over Vietnam.
When Da Lat was part of the French territory of Cochinchina, the French endowed the city with villas and boulevards, and its Swiss charms remain today.
Da Lat's year-round temperate weather, standing in contrast to central & southern Vietnam’s otherwise-tropical climate, has led it to be nicknamed the “City of eternal spring”.
