Dragon Diaries #6 – Light in the Tunnel

Posted on by Dennis Davis
It is Friday September 4th here in Da Nang. This is Dragon Diaries #6 – Light in the Tunnel. We have been on lockdown since July 26th, or was it the 27th? I can’t be sure.

My previous post, Dragon Diaries – Living in a Nation that Beat the Virus, discussed Vietnam’s successes in defeating the novel Coronavirus with my first-hand experiences, ups, and downs in living through that process.… continue reading

Dragon Diaries – Living In A Nation that Beat the Virus
