Perhaps Yogi got bare with a lady bear, things went too far, then she said, "I think we've made a boo boo" - then had one.

Swimming in a lake in Vietnam??????? You're a brave soul!

He said "I'll spread you like honey" because he could not bear waiting any longer.

Please get vaccinations and wear a full body condom before immersing yourself in any body of still water in VN.

I won't be attending OP's BBQ that's for sure 

I didn't understand this thread when I first read it.  Two days later, I still don't.

What exactly was/were the OP's question/s? 

- He wanted to find a freshwater lake near Da Nang?
- He wanted to BBQ on the shore of a freshwater lake near Da Nang?

- He wanted to buy a scooter?  No, it couldn't be it as it wasn't a question.  He was just thinking aloud, probably.

Which brought me to my own question: 

"I want buy scooter first week July my arrival"

Why would a person whose mother tongue is English, who was "born in uk, work in stock markets in usa, currently in LONDON UK" write such a sentence?

The OP has without a doubt never been to south east Asia.
Swimming in a lake?yikes!

In Da Nang your best bet might be a lake in the shape of a hotel swimming pool.
Haven't seen any public BBQs in Vietnam.
Just charcoal hibachi pots on the street, burning sườn nướng. 🔥

Don't buy a scooter right away, might be difficult to register too. Rent for a month at least, there are many kinds of motorbikes. Probably 1.200.000 vnd. I saw newer Hondas for tourists on back streets near the beach. Much nicer than the clunkers for rent in Saigon.

im assuming the lakes are used as sewage dumps , toilets and trash depots?

No they aren't used as such, but lack of moving water, etc, they aren't what you would call,pristine. Hahaha. Don't think of dipping your feet in them. I'm sure there would be an exception

i ve seen some beautiful rivers on youtube videos but your right, so far no lakes or bodies of water that look appealing at all
