How did you use PHIN and Wanderlust differently?

PHIN was on the same block — I took the salt coffee away and kept it on the stay's desk. At Wanderlust at 96 Trần Phú in the Han Market area I sat with an americano and a cheesecake and worked for 2-3 hours.

Da Nang PHIN salt coffee and Wanderlust — takeaway cups and a seat to stay

Coffee to carry and coffee to sit with. PHIN on the same block was for the desk; Wanderlust in the Han Market area was the seat for working hours.

Two coffee seats

On this 7-night trip coffee had two uses. Coffee you carry back, and coffee you sit with. PHIN on the same block as OceanSight was the former; Wanderlust in the Han Market area was the latter.

PHIN salt coffee, on the desk

On August 21 I took away a salt coffee from PHIN. Pham Van Dong 110, a neighborhood cafe open from 7 in the morning to 10 at night. A thick cream foam sat on the cup. I set it on the window desk at the stay and opened the laptop, watching the screen while the foam settled.

The comparison

The same day, at another cafe about 3 minutes' walk from the stay, I drank a salt coffee too. The cream foam was just as thick. Still, from then on I settled on keeping a PHIN cup on the desk. It was close, and a rhythm solved inside the block was the standard of this trip.

Wanderlust, a day of sitting to work

On August 22 I sat at Wanderlust, 96 Trần Phú in the Han Market area. I ordered an americano and a cheesecake, about 100,000 VND each. Laptop open on a wooden table, I worked for 2-3 hours. If PHIN was the coffee you carry back, this was the seat you work in.

PHIN goes to the beach

On August 24 a PHIN cup came along to the sand of My Khe. Set on the sand among the green beach furniture, the same coffee turned into a completely different object. If the desk coffee was work, the coffee on the sand was the end of the day.

Summary

The two coffee seats were the two modes of this trip. A takeaway drunk alone at the window desk, and long working hours sitting in a city cafe. PHIN and Wanderlust each did their part in their place.
