D-Mart - The Convenience Mart with More Affordable Bottled Water! @ Sun World Ba Na Hills in Danang [Vietnam]

Now, don't get wrong. I love my 2-night stay at Vietnam highland resort of Sun World Ba Na Hills in Da Nang City but there's one thing I can't stand; the pricing of bottled water where one 500-ml can set me back by 50,000 dong (about S$2.50)! 

Coming from Singapore, this was literally exorbitant, and it didn't help that we were trained from young to constantly hydrate ourselves. Hence, I had almost given up on hydrating (not so keen on boiling tap water) when we chanced upon the above; a convenience store by the name of D-Mart.

Located at a corner that would not likely be stumbled upon by day visitors, it's your typical mini mart from a neighbourhood, albeit a more structured one with wider aisles and brighter lights. 

You can get your typical snacks; not exactly cheap for the local Vietnamese but for Singaporeans who are accustomed to bring elevated import pricings, they didn't come as a big shock, especially at a resort built for tourists. 

The one thing that attracted me were the line of bottled water! The price of a 500-ml was literally half-priced and there was option for a 1.5-liter bottle at 50,000 dong! Not that economical compared to even Singapore but to put it bluntly, I am saving 66% off, and with that in mind; I grabbed two 1.5-liter bottles!
