New to Da Nang

My husband and I have been in Da Nang for about 2 months now, and I admit I need something to do during the day while he works. I do visit him for lunch, but otherwise life is a bit dull. I'm not sure I want to teach English because the classes are at night or on the weekend when I want to be with my husband. Any ideas on what keeps you busy if you have no kids? Also - any tips on how to get rid of fire ants would be appreciated :)

Hi, there are classes in the daytime i believe. Danang is not actually a place for doing things tho. I will find you some classes in the day time if you wish.

I know that local people use gasoline to keep the fire ants away. Have you tried?

Urine works great on fire ants :lol: Just drink up them water, alcohol even better and fire away, literally :Dhttp://www.ehow.com/how_7346102_kill-fi … urine.html

then I think it is better to drink the alcohol first :)

Right, sort of killing two birds with one stone. Great excuse in any case.

Baby powder works good on ants. Only problem is they send out suicide ants to plow a path through the baby powder.
