Quang Tri: A Place That Won't Let You Forget It

@David Vance2/8/2026blog

Quang Tri isn't the kind of place you stumble upon by accident-it's the kind of place that finds you when you're looking for something else entirely. i wasn't even planning to stop here, but the bus broke down, and suddenly i was stuck in this small coastal city in central vietnam with nothing but time and a weird sense of curiosity. the air felt thick, like it was holding onto stories it wasn't ready to tell yet. the temperature was a steady 26.06°c, but it felt warmer, like the humidity was playing tricks on me. pressure at 1018, humidity at 69-numbers that mean nothing until you're standing there, sweating through your shirt and wondering if the weather app is lying to you.
