There are four words related to peace...

From Hue , we decided to go to An Bang because we craved the smell of the sea. The trip was unplanned, simply to find an opportunity to listen to our inner voices, letting our emotions guide us, and embracing any unexpected situations.

This was our first time choosing to stay overnight in An Bang, even though we've been to Hoi An countless times. An Bang beach still retains its simple beauty. Its tranquility has its own rhythm. Perhaps that's why this area is named after the word "peace" in three words: An Bang beach, Cam An commune, Hoi An city.

During our stay here, we completely relaxed, without any work commitments like usual. We ran around on the beach, immersed ourselves in the crystal-clear water, and listened to the gentle waves lapping against our backs.

We swayed our feet to the sound of the wind, savored some grilled seafood and a few cans of beer, strolled barefoot on the soft sand, and found somewhere in our minds a sense of "peace."

That very afternoon, we went to the Old Quarter (because I suddenly craved the feeling of sitting by the Thu Bon River sipping a cup of tea). I unexpectedly ran into my friend Myriam from Morocco, who had lived in Vietnam for about four years and used to live in Saigon – where I had the good fortune to meet her. It was such a surprise; we greeted each other warmly. Luckily, she was also at An Bang beach, so we arranged to meet up that evening for a drink.

After enjoying a delicious seafood meal, we went to meet Myriam. The petite young woman chattered excitedly about her new life in An Bang, Hoi An.

She and her boyfriend live in a spacious house with a garden. During the week, she works online, teaching English and doing marketing. On weekends, she and her boyfriend perform music at cafes and bars, and work as a model.

The work is quite diverse and offers freedom and flexibility, fitting her free-spirited personality, much like her favorite boho dresses.
In Morocco, the mindset of grandparents and parents is very similar to that of previous generations in Vietnam. They want their children to have stable lives, and daughters should get married and have children.

Myriam decided to live away from home and do what she likes, and later, when her parents need care, she will probably choose to live somewhere closer to home.

I once stopped in Tam Ky, and everything there was as peaceful as a midday dream. It was just the right amount of time for travelers to pause and recharge.

As for An Bang, at the very moment I was talking to Myriam, I realized the meaning of the word "peace" in this land. It's the "peace" in "An Bang," in "Cam An," in "Hoi An," and the "peace" in one's mind.
