If you only had 2 days in Da Nang, what sorts of things would you want to do? Let me know in the comments down below! Don't forget to watch PART 2 about our two day trip to the ancient town of Hoi An! Love you all, thanks for the support, and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel!
Thank you for the great video.many thanks Da Nang ,Vietnam I like it best in Asia,people friendly ,good food,and beautiful landscape.I was 11 month in Da Nang ,Vietnam in 2018 I was one of the most happiest person in the world. I am sailing alone around the world. Take care my Dear friend. Happy weekend to you from USA
Very cool! I'm long overdue for a return trip to Da Nang. This video was my 2nd time, as I had gone once before in 2015. ^^ Hope you have fun in January!!!
I have never even thought that some of the places you have shown even exist in Vietnam. It's not what we are used to when we think of Vietnam. I have watched a few videos on another channel called The Luxury Travel Expert, and I can say without a doubt that I will visit Vietnam in the near future.
Yeah, I had no idea those places existed either! My GF does all her research around Facebook in Vietnamese groups, and that's how she discovered the different places and activities we could do. She even hooked it up with discounts on some tours by booking through those groups instead of the place directly. This country is definitely a bucket-list worthy place to experience! ^^
Thanks for the awesome comment! I'm glad you enjoy them. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this travel vlog, I'm almost done editing and will render and upload today! ^^
You look happy. 😁 Last year this time we were preparing to go on holiday to Vietnam. We miss the food!!! 😣😭😢 We skipped Danang but stayed a few days in Hoi An. Looking forward to the videos.
It was very fun, I've never done small rafting with 2 people only and no oars. I've done big rafting in Korea, with 8 people in one boat and everyone has an oar. That's a lot of fun, too. ^^
I've been following various vloggers and love Da Nang. My wife is from Nha Trang and even she was so impressed by Da Nang when we took our 2 kids and father in law there back in 2011. Da Nang has really grown, in a good way, and their beaches are awesome. I like the fact that Da Nang area offers traditional Vietnamese social/cultural sites like Hoi An and Hue while also offer modern recreation facilities like Ba Na Hill, the big water park, golf courses, etc. Hope you enjoyed Da Nang Cory. Don't you love Vietnam's night scene and the joy on people's face? BTW, your food footage is killing me, everything looks so good from dessert to seafood to blue collar breakfast eatery :-)
You described Da Nang very well. I agree with it all. ^^ Night life anywhere in Vietnam has been such a great experience. I need to start capturing those moments on video, because up until now I've just been experiencing it as I go along without trying to "ruin" it by filming. Thanks for this wonderful comment!!!
Hey, yes, have had my travel inoculations, I get them regularly since I travel long term. Thanks for the reminder though, its so important but many people forget or don't realise.
So cool! How long will you be traveling in Vietnam? It's good to get your shots before coming here. I disagree with Moon Panda about fake medicine. Maybe it is in other regions, but in Hanoi, every medicine I've ever bought worked. And it's CHEAP and you don't need prescription. Hanoi is the capital and the government controls the pharmacies. The meds are effective, legit, and affordable so everyday Vietnamese citizens can buy them. Not everyone can afford to go to the hospital and pay large fees for doctor visits. I've bought antibiotics at the pharmacy for $0.33 cents and it worked like a charm. So all pharmacies are legit. Don't buy meds from someone peddling it in an alleyway or on a bicycle. lol
Yeah, I agree with you Cory, plenty of genuine places to buy meds - fake meds are everywhere, especially in Bangkok which is where I am right now. I'm going to be in Vietnam for a month, starting off in Hanoi and moving down to Saigon/HCMC. Going to travel mainly by train, but need to organise the route. If you are free, it would be good to meet up and chat about remote working and RUclips! Understand if you are busy though! :)
Thanks for the comment! Vietnam is definitely worth a visit... if you have the time, you have to visit the northern, central, and southern parts of Vietnam to see how amazing they all are.
Thanks Celestine! The cable car ride going up was so awesome. ^^ Coming down wasn't so fun, mainly because of the realization that it was pouring rain and getting dark and we had to ride a motorcycle for 1 hour back to Da Nang. lol
lol I'm glad you enjoyed it. There's definitely so many other places to eat and things to do. We just did it our way, we weren't out to make it some kind of street food listing review/guide like many other people do. I think that's what I like about traveling, sure, going to all the famous places is nice, but it's also nice to just wing it and explore freely without spending hours of research into it. Anything and everything we did or ate was by recommendation via Vietnamese groups on FB that my girlfriend saw. We didn't look at any English guides aimed at tourists.
Yeah, my mind is boggled still when I realize that a plate of food is only a dollar, if that. And it's not crap quality either! Glad you enjoyed this video Michelle! Part 2 should be uploaded today or tomorrow at the latest.
Very good video. I liked the raft where you were going down the narrow river. That reminds me of log rides which I love, although what you did was 100 times better. Also the indoor play centre was so cool.
Everything you did on your adventures are like nightmare scenarios to me. I’m not that brave. Even your chilli eating is frightening. Love the views though, beautiful. Good luck!
I start to watch you vlog around 2015 when i was searching about seoul (i had a plan to visit seoul that time). Since then i'm so happy to watch all of your vlog. And now you had a major life changes. Hope you'll be fine. And gladly, i will visit hanoi in next March. I'm so happy that i can get all of the information from you. Good luck Cory :)
Hi Mary Anna, yes, I'm fine. I'm doing much better these days. ^^ That's very cool, send me a message in March and maybe I can show you some food places. Thank you for supporting me!!!
It seems like they have tourists prices in the amusement park and restaurant on top of mountain.. food in Danang looks delicious, what a clean looking city....thanks for vlogging. I love your channel 👍
Yes, it's definitely a tourist destination. Ba Na Hills is completely overrun by Korean tourists, so I actually felt like I was in a theme park in Korea, not Vietnam. That's also why the prices were higher, too. Thanks for your support and for leaving a comment! ^^
Da Nang is a great central location to many other places, and more and more flights to neighboring countries are being directly linked to Da Nang. I've been considering moving there myself!
I managed to watch these two videos in the wrong order but I have to say they are both wonderful snapshots of the places you visit. For reasons 'unknown' I am incredibly hungry. One question I keep meaning to ask and manage to forget every time I watch one of your videos is, have you come a across a Vietnamese drink called Pinying? The spelling may be wrong as this dates back to 1973. I was told it was made from snakes suffused in rice wine and could get a person as stoned as a brick in about ten minutes. Bearing in mind this goes back to my time in South Vietnam 46-years, I could be wrong. I haven't found anyone in London who knows what I'm talking about. Take care out there & have fun - Al
I think I need glasses, but at 8:22 it looks like there is a huge chuck of meet just chilling off to your right side on some sort of barrel or something
+tamelapriest Yep. You don't need glasses. That's exactly what it was. Large chunks of beef and pork cuts, ready to be used by the cook sitting behind me. That's where she preps all the broth and noodles and meat. Unrefrigerated meat is a common sight, you'll see butchers selling their stuff roadside with no ice or anything. Sounds unsafe, I know, but you'll be surprised how fast it gets sold and used. That lady probably used all that meat before she closed. I've never had food poisoning in the almost 5 months living here. ^^
I'm definitely no Mark Weins and am not trying to be a new version of him. lol We are similar, though. We love food and travel. And we are both half Asian. And I think we're about the same age. I'm 36. I think he's 36 or 37.
Also, you'll have a lot of fun there in a few weeks! Rent a moped if you can ride, I highly suggest it for ease of getting around. Many hotels/resorts in Hoi An have free bicycles for their guests to use, that's what we did and got around the ancient town very easily.
Thanks! Hope you're enjoying them. ^^ Yes, Buddhist is the largest organized religion in the country, and quite a few people follow the monk diet/vegetarian-only lifestyle. You can find vegetarian restaurants easily, they have the sign saying "Chay"
homesteader downunder Australia. They have a whole huge menu of vegetarian foods, vegetarian foods is a part of Vietnamese cuisine, not just like vegetable but deep flavors. so enjoy i
Yessss!!! Hue is on my bucket list. I want to visit every part of Vietnam more than once so I can fully experience it. ^^ But I have to keep saving money, or find some sponsor to tour me around for free. hehehe
+diane Tackett Curry is HUGE in countries like India, Thailand, Singapore, and even Japan. But I've never really seen curry anywhere around Vietnam - the local Vietnamese just aren't eating it the way other Asian countries do. You can get it here, but it's not a common thing to eat.
Is the feeding some sort of Korean/Asian tradition? I am not freaked out, just surprised. :) I am currently on a marathon of your videos, as Vietnam is on my travel list for 2019.
LOL in Vietnam, and other countries, feeding your loved one is a sign of affection. Some countries show it more than others. The hand feeding is in several of my Vietnam videos from 2017 and it received so much negative feedback from people that my girlfriend and I decided to stop doing it on video. People just don't understand, and we're too tired of trying to explain to closed-minded people why we did it. Anyway, glad you're not freaked out about it. hehehe Ask any questions about Vietnam on any of my videos, I get notifications for every comment on every video on my channel and I will reply promptly. ^^ And stay tuned for more Vietnam videos! Subscribe if you haven't! Thanks!
That hot fried stuff you ate in the video is good it's fried mochi with sesame seeds love that stuff but they no longer sell it where I live I may have to look for another place that would sell it
Cory, at the Cho Han Mkt, you had two bowls of noodles which look similar to each other. Which did you prefer, the My Quang Vit and Cau Lao? This is just for my future reference.
I personally enjoyed the Cao lầu better, there was a more savory taste to the dish that left me deeply satisfied. You should definitely try both, though! hehehe ^^
The Cory was feed! I said you were slipping in the last video and you made up for it in this video! 😄 Maracuya (passion fruit) is life. You are making me miss SE Asia! The going price for one maracuya here in Chicago right now is $2.99. In Thailand I can get a bag of 18-20 for that same price. I see you don't get a plate of fresh herbs with your dishes, is that something that is not common there? Cloudy day...cable car..mountains..I would have to pass on that one. You guys are brave. Is the gf going to help put captions in Vietnamese so you can reach a wider audience..Or atleast the title in Vietnamese?
Yeah, the previous video was just a channel update, it wasn't a food vlog or anything like that. Holy moly, one is $3.00?!? Yeah, they sell a bag of like 10 at the convenient store for less than $1.00. lol Some places gave herbs, some didn't. We noticed that some places weren't giving as much herbs in Da Nang and Hoi An. Maybe that's how they do it there? Or maybe just the places we went to were being cheap? lol I haven't asked my GF if she is willing to translate subtitles, that's a lot of work for someone to do. We'll see in the future...
Yeah, you should definitely carry your own water bottle around or buy them from a local store. Ice is a tough one... if the restaurant is chipping away at a large block of ice, that was probably made by themselves in a bathtub or other dirty container with tap water. Definitely avoid. But some restaurants will use ice that is cylindrical in shape, with a hollow tube through it. That was made by an ice machine using filtered water, generally that ice is fine. Ice from a cafe or tea shop are usually clean too, but just make sure you don't see them chipping away at a block of ice. To play it completely safe, just avoid all ice and you should have no problem. Also wipe all your utensils with a napkin, and wipe out any excess water sitting at the bottom of any empty bowls that are given to you. Just good practice. Carrying hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes is also something lots of travels do. As for food, if the place is full of people, there's a line of people, or you can see with your own eyes boiling/firey hot food being cooked in front of you, it's going to be OK. If the place has no customers, avoid it, the food has probably been sitting out for a long time. And if you're in doubt, look at the food and if it looks dried out and like it's been sitting for hours, don't eat there. Hopefully these tips help. I've never had food poisoning from any street food or restaurant in Vietnam. I only got really sick when I ate some bad chicken from the major supermarket chain here.
Yes, I'd love to go back to Da Nang and at one point I had even considered moving there. But right now, I don't know when I'll be able to visit any country due to the pandemic. Vietnam's borders are closed to tourists still.
Indeed, so much good food in Da Nang! Barely even scratched the surface. I might even move down to the Da Nang area at the end of 2018... or maybe early 2019! I love it down there. ^^
Awesome vlog Cory^^ Quick question. Is there a road cycling presence in Ha Noi? I'm an avid roadie and would like to bring my bike there when I come. Thanks again for all your hard work! Cheers^^
Hanoi is a motorbike city, it's 98% of all the vehicles you'll see on the road here. But, there are a number of expats who enjoy cycling, so yes, there are road cyclists here. Search on Facebook for "Vietnam bicycle" and you'll see some groups pop up. Vietnam is also a destination for people to ride motorcycles from north to south for an epic road trip. Cyclists do the same, it's about 1,800km journey from Hanoi to Saigon.
Freelance video production, graphic design, copywriting, editing, art commissions, etc. Any jobs that I can get to help pay bills and rent. Also part-time English teaching/tutoring to supplement my income. That will probably become more of a full-time thing as freelance work isn't so reliable all of the time.
I've been living in Hanoi for almost 9 months now. And I've been to Da Nang twice. If I could choose, I'd go for Da Nang because I love the beach there. The food and vibe of central Vietnam is just sooooo nice. I'm heavily considering moving there late this year or early next year. We'll see how it goes... hehehe
Thanks? So many people saying congrats, like I got married or had a baby. hahahaha But we are doing well and have a great relationship. Very happy about that. ^^
+Crystal Wynn I'm sorry about that. In the noisy parts in the market, it's tough to hear. Just so much background noise. Next adventures I'll need to wear my lav mic. I try to film without it because it's annoying setting up and stuff and I don't want to just wear it all day long. I'll have to make better practice habits of that. Audio is crucial!
+deaksbear I'm sorry it is difficult for you to watch my girlfriend feed me. It's a part of my life and new adventures in Vietnam so filming it is no big deal for me. I think it adds to the fun! It will.probably happen in future videos, so fair warning. Thanks for your feedback! ^^
Most likely never. She has requested not to show her face or talk in any of my videos. But there's a chance I'll post some pictures on Instagram/Facebook @FEEDTHECORY and you might see her face. ^^
Trust me, I'm not skinny. hahaha I think my Korean genes have helped a bit in that regard. I gotta start actually working out to build muscle tone, I used to be ripped like a mofo in my early 20's, swimming every single day in Hawaii, surfing all the time. T'was the good old days. hahaha Now I'm soft and pudgy... definitely dad-bod status now.
Hahaha, it's just when you chew/drink, otherwise it's cool. In general when a person is doing something and they look in your eyes it's awkward, few examples: Cutting wood when looking someone in the eyes Washing dishes when looking someone in the eyes Cleaning shoes... All of these are perfectly normal activities, but once you add the eye contact it definitely changes something.
Love your videos but the being fed part is seriously icky. I know it's not your intent but it translates on video as certain stereotypes that are pretty awful. I'm glad you're happy, but remember, we only see one side of it (which is fine) but this can lead to misunderstanding and awkwardness. I wish you much off camera feeding of each other though!
+Denise LeBlanc Thank you for your feedback. I like to know what people think about different aspects of my filming, editing, etc. Can you elaborate about the ickiness and certain stereotype that is awful? (You can PM me if you wish) I'm pretty open-minded and sensitive to all types of possible situations/misconceptions/etc, but I am not seeing why my girlfriend feeding me is negative. Is her feeding me a sterotype that Asian women who feed their men are subservient slaves? Am I being disrespectful towards Marie? (Marie knows everything about my GF including what she looks like, etc.) I want to know exactly what struck a chord with you so I can be more aware of any issues that may arise in the future for you and possibly other viewers. Anything negative is obviously unintended. Once again thank you for your feedback! I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video. ^^
+Rosie Love No. We divorced almost 6 months ago for other private reasons, while I was still in Korea. I met my Vietnamese girlfriend 2 months after moving to Vietnam. There is zero connection.
If you only had 2 days in Da Nang, what sorts of things would you want to do?
Let me know in the comments down below! Don't forget to watch PART 2 about our two day trip to the ancient town of Hoi An!

This was so fun to watch. Can't wait for part 2. I never thought about visiting Vietnam but it looks pretty fun and cool.
It's a beautiful country, with amazing food and very warm people. ^^
Looks amazing specially the coconuts.
Leaving for Vietnam Jan 17th, we will spend 6 days once again in Da Nang, been to most places you have shown on here.. Love Vietnam :)
Very cool! I'm long overdue for a return trip to Da Nang. This video was my 2nd time, as I had gone once before in 2015. ^^
Hope you have fun in January!!!

You have the most interesting videos about Vietnam! Love the different dishes.
Thanks for the awesome comment! I'm glad you enjoy them. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this travel vlog, I'm almost done editing and will render and upload today! ^^
Super informative, man. Thinking of going to Vietnam sometime soon, so defs comes in handy!
We just vlogged our road trip through Slovenia 😁
Very cool! This is a beautiful country, you should allow yourself at least a week or two to full see everything!
You look happy. 😁 Last year this time we were preparing to go on holiday to Vietnam. We miss the food!!! 😣😭😢 We skipped Danang but stayed a few days in Hoi An. Looking forward to the videos.
I hope during your next visit, you'll get to check out Da Nang! ^^
That river rafting look so much fun.
It was very fun, I've never done small rafting with 2 people only and no oars.
I've done big rafting in Korea, with 8 people in one boat and everyone has an oar. That's a lot of fun, too. ^^

Cory: Everybody just sitting and enjoying the view.
Everybody is looking down on their phone xD
+AZN Viking hahaha Yeah, the timing was off on that one. But I promise, people do put their phones down and look around. ^^
I really enjoyed this video! One of my favorite
Wish I could visit and go to all the places you went.😫
Thanks!!! You should come to Vietnam and check those places out. It's really a lot of fun. ^^
Shhh, I'm trying to keep this a secret but I'm going to Vietnam in December and I can't wait now I've seen all this delicious food! 😀👍🏻 great vlog!
ExploreList don’t forget to get shots to avoid getting sick & other things I’m going myself with family in November 6
Hey, yes, have had my travel inoculations, I get them regularly since I travel long term. Thanks for the reminder though, its so important but many people forget or don't realise.
Yeah the place is not like the U.S. don’t forget pack other meds to better to have then buy at Vietnam since medicine there is fake
So cool! How long will you be traveling in Vietnam? It's good to get your shots before coming here.
I disagree with Moon Panda about fake medicine. Maybe it is in other regions, but in Hanoi, every medicine I've ever bought worked. And it's CHEAP and you don't need prescription.

Beautiful places, good food, I like see all, thanks for sharing it
Thank you and you're welcome! ^^
Feed the Cory!!! Miss your korea walk, but will always stay with you. Brotherhood!!!
Thank you for your support!!!!! ^^ I appreciate it so much!
Your video got great quality. The clarity is pretty exceptional. I guess, happy videographer makes great quality video.
Chao anh! It seems to me that you show useful information on these areas with splendid panoramic views. Have a joyous day!
Thanks for enjoying the video! ^^
Glad to see you posting more videos. Your making Vietnam a future visit for sure !! Keep up the street food reviews love them !
Thanks for the comment! Vietnam is definitely worth a visit... if you have the time, you have to visit the northern, central, and southern parts of Vietnam to see how amazing they all are.
Cory wow what a view from the cable car ! really good editing looked like you had so much fun thank you :)
Thanks Celestine! The cable car ride going up was so awesome. ^^ Coming down wasn't so fun, mainly because of the realization that it was pouring rain and getting dark and we had to ride a motorcycle for 1 hour back to Da Nang. lol
😃😄 looks FUN!!! ooooo my country is Beautiful lol..😃😄
You need to come back to Vietnam!!! ^^
Great video. Love it. I guess when I am going to Danang, I don't have to research so much... just follow your footsteps... Thanks. :-)
lol I'm glad you enjoyed it. There's definitely so many other places to eat and things to do.
We just did it our way, we weren't out to make it some kind of street food listing review/guide like many other people do.
I think that's what I like about traveling, sure, going to all the famous places is nice, but it's also nice to just wing it and explore freely without spending hours of research into it.

Thank Corey for sharing your trip, looks very exciting Stay safe out there.
Glad you enjoyed it. And I will stay safe! ^^
Still can't get over how cheap the food is lol.
Also, all the food looked so good!!!! 😭
Yeah, my mind is boggled still when I realize that a plate of food is only a dollar, if that. And it's not crap quality either!
Glad you enjoyed this video Michelle! Part 2 should be uploaded today or tomorrow at the latest.
Very good video. I liked the raft where you were going down the narrow river. That reminds me of log rides which I love, although what you did was 100 times better. Also the indoor play centre was so cool.
The rafting was the highlight activity for Da Nang, for me. It was such a perfect, sunny day, the water was clean and cool. Loved it. ^^
I laughed as you said the locals were enjoying the view from the 2nd floor of the restaurant, but had their faces buried in their cell phones.
Everything you did on your adventures are like nightmare scenarios to me. I’m not that brave. Even your chilli eating is frightening. Love the views though, beautiful. Good luck!
hahaha Oh no, were you able to watch the video without cringing at everything?
Thanks for leaving a comment! ^^
Those durian desserts look so tempting ahhhh 🤣🤣🤣
It was a great smoothie & jelly bar!!! If you go to Da Nang.... 196 Dua Ben Tre... you have to check it out! ^^
Awesome trip. It´s really been a while since i´ve seen you this happy, you are really shining again. Glad to see that you are so much better again.
Thanks! I'm out of my funk now, back to a happier and normal self. ^^
Just been to DaNang and HoiAn, loved every minute! Can’t wait to go back!
Definitely recognized the FF6 Phantom Train theme at 14:00 :)
YESSSS I was waiting and waiting to see if anyone caught that little Easter egg. ^^ Congrats on being the first and only person to mention it. hehehe
I start to watch you vlog around 2015 when i was searching about seoul (i had a plan to visit seoul that time). Since then i'm so happy to watch all of your vlog. And now you had a major life changes. Hope you'll be fine. And gladly, i will visit hanoi in next March. I'm so happy that i can get all of the information from you. Good luck Cory :)
Hi Mary Anna, yes, I'm fine. I'm doing much better these days. ^^
That's very cool, send me a message in March and maybe I can show you some food places.
Thank you for supporting me!!!
It seems like they have tourists prices in the amusement park and restaurant on top of mountain.. food in Danang looks delicious, what a clean looking city....thanks for vlogging. I love your channel 👍
Yes, it's definitely a tourist destination. Ba Na Hills is completely overrun by Korean tourists, so I actually felt like I was in a theme park in Korea, not Vietnam. That's also why the prices were higher, too.
Thanks for your support and for leaving a comment! ^^
Nice video . a good mix of fun and food. I want to retire there in Da Nang then do day trips. Thanks Corey
Da Nang is a great central location to many other places, and more and more flights to neighboring countries are being directly linked to Da Nang. I've been considering moving there myself!
So beautiful
I am possibly moving to Da Nang at the end of this year or beginning of next year! ^^
We usually add wasabi into the sauce: muoi tieu chanh. It greatly enhances the deliciousness of seafood. Try it. Thanks for sharing nice vid.
Yes, that sounds great! I love wasabi. ^^
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for commenting!
I managed to watch these two videos in the wrong order but I have to say they are both wonderful snapshots of the places you visit. For reasons 'unknown' I am incredibly hungry.

I haven't found anyone in London who knows what I'm talking about.
Take care out there & have fun - Al
I think I need glasses, but at 8:22 it looks like there is a huge chuck of meet just chilling off to your right side on some sort of barrel or something
+tamelapriest Yep. You don't need glasses. That's exactly what it was. Large chunks of beef and pork cuts, ready to be used by the cook sitting behind me. That's where she preps all the broth and noodles and meat.
Unrefrigerated meat is a common sight, you'll see butchers selling their stuff roadside with no ice or anything. Sounds unsafe, I know, but you'll be surprised how fast it gets sold and used. That lady probably used all that meat before she closed.
I've never had food poisoning in the almost 5 months living here. ^^
Feed The Cory that is funny
hi guys,,looked like fun,,,,cory the new mark wiens !! hehehe cant wait to check out da nang and hoi an myself in a few weeks
I'm definitely no Mark Weins and am not trying to be a new version of him. lol We are similar, though. We love food and travel. And we are both half Asian. And I think we're about the same age. I'm 36. I think he's 36 or 37.
Also, you'll have a lot of fun there in a few weeks! Rent a moped if you can ride, I highly suggest it for ease of getting around. Many hotels/resorts in Hoi An have free bicycles for their guests to use, that's what we did and got around the ancient town very easily.
Nice video,the foods is delisious
See you there! Hopefully
the deserts are so good looking. be in hcmc very soon. cant wait.
It looks cleaner ,and less kaotic than Saigon. It also looks safer and friendlier. You really make a great video. I love your energy! Best Wishes,
Nice view of the hotel that you stayed on your first day in Da Nang. What is the hotel name if you can still remember. Thanks
Check in đà nẵng ..do you try to eat the restaurant.. ...quán trần ......really really good 👍
Thanks! Next time I visit Da Nang I will check it out. 🤗🤗🤗
hi whats good about quán trần ? i want to visit there soon!
Very good info Cory!
I'm glad you think so! ^^
Great place lots of fun sry i'm a super taster can't handle Duran or so much sea food but nice places tho.
Wow, those troops.
Yeah, lots of military training up in the mountains!
Hi cory great to see new videos, are there many vegetarian in veitnarm.
Thanks! Hope you're enjoying them. ^^
Yes, Buddhist is the largest organized religion in the country, and quite a few people follow the monk diet/vegetarian-only lifestyle. You can find vegetarian restaurants easily, they have the sign saying "Chay"
homesteader downunder Australia. They have a whole huge menu of vegetarian foods, vegetarian foods is a part of Vietnamese cuisine, not just like vegetable but deep flavors. so enjoy i
Nice Video 😎
Thank you! ^^
cau lau!! in hoi an, try the vegetarian version as well. 10/10
I heard about the vegetarian version online... I'll have to seek it out next time in Hoi An!
you need to visit Hue :))) capital of Nguyen dynasty :))) still very nice to visit :)))))
Yessss!!! Hue is on my bucket list. I want to visit every part of Vietnam more than once so I can fully experience it. ^^
But I have to keep saving money, or find some sponsor to tour me around for free. hehehe
Glad you enjoyed the travel in Vietnam Cory. Keep the videos up!
Is curry popular over there? I know that a lot Of countries in Asia are in love with it. I for one have never had curry. O
+diane Tackett Curry is HUGE in countries like India, Thailand, Singapore, and even Japan.
But I've never really seen curry anywhere around Vietnam - the local Vietnamese just aren't eating it the way other Asian countries do. You can get it here, but it's not a common thing to eat.
Is the feeding some sort of Korean/Asian tradition? I am not freaked out, just surprised. :) I am currently on a marathon of your videos, as Vietnam is on my travel list for 2019.
LOL in Vietnam, and other countries, feeding your loved one is a sign of affection. Some countries show it more than others.
The hand feeding is in several of my Vietnam videos from 2017 and it received so much negative feedback from people that my girlfriend and I decided to stop doing it on video. People just don't understand, and we're too tired of trying to explain to closed-minded people why we did it. Anyway, glad you're not freaked out about it. hehehe
Ask any questions about Vietnam on any of my videos, I get notifications for every comment on every video on my channel and I will reply promptly. ^^ And stay tuned for more Vietnam videos! Subscribe if you haven't! Thanks!
That hot fried stuff you ate in the video is good it's fried mochi with sesame seeds love that stuff but they no longer sell it where I live I may have to look for another place that would sell it
I think you can find an easy recipe online and make it at home! I'm curious to try cooking it myself... seems very basic and easy to make. ^^
Yes I would love to make it myself too agree thanks Corey
Check out any Chinese bakeries in your area. Most of them sell it.
Cory, at the Cho Han Mkt, you had two bowls of noodles which look similar to each other. Which did you prefer, the
My Quang Vit and Cau Lao? This is just for my future reference.
I personally enjoyed the Cao lầu better, there was a more savory taste to the dish that left me deeply satisfied. You should definitely try both, though! hehehe ^^
The Cory was feed! I said you were slipping in the last video and you made up for it in this video! 😄 Maracuya (passion fruit) is life. You are making me miss SE Asia! The going price for one maracuya here in Chicago right now is $2.99. In Thailand I can get a bag of 18-20 for that same price. I see you don't get a plate of fresh herbs with your dishes, is that something that is not common there? Cloudy day...cable car..mountains..I would have to pass on that one. You guys are brave. Is the gf going to help put captions in Vietnamese so you can reach a wider audience..Or atleast the title in Vietnamese?
Yeah, the previous video was just a channel update, it wasn't a food vlog or anything like that.
Holy moly, one is $3.00?!? Yeah, they sell a bag of like 10 at the convenient store for less than $1.00. lol
Some places gave herbs, some didn't. We noticed that some places weren't giving as much herbs in Da Nang and Hoi An. Maybe that's how they do it there? Or maybe just the places we went to were being cheap? lol
I haven't asked my GF if she is willing to translate subtitles, that's a lot of work for someone to do. We'll see in the future...
Someone is literally feeding the Cory 😆
Who is this strange person feeding me?!?! lol
Great video. Going to DaNang in couple weeks. Heard water and ice might be contaminated, to avoid. Your experiences?
Yeah, you should definitely carry your own water bottle around or buy them from a local store.
Ice is a tough one... if the restaurant is chipping away at a large block of ice, that was probably made by themselves in a bathtub or other dirty container with tap water. Definitely avoid.
But some restaurants will use ice that is cylindrical in shape, with a hollow tube through it. That was made by an ice machine using filtered water, generally that ice is fine. Ice from a cafe or tea shop are usually clean too, but just make sure you don't see them chipping away at a block of ice.
To play it completely safe, just avoid all ice and you should have no problem. Also wipe all your utensils with a napkin, and wipe out any excess water sitting at the bottom of any empty bowls that are given to you. Just good practice.
Carrying hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes is also something lots of travels do.
As for food, if the place is full of people, there's a line of people, or you can see with your own eyes boiling/firey hot food being cooked in front of you, it's going to be OK. If the place has no customers, avoid it, the food has probably been sitting out for a long time. And if you're in doubt, look at the food and if it looks dried out and like it's been sitting for hours, don't eat there.
Hopefully these tips help. I've never had food poisoning from any street food or restaurant in Vietnam. I only got really sick when I ate some bad chicken from the major supermarket chain here.
Hi, thanks for the clip. Can you tell me the name of the hotel you had stayed in Da Nang? The location seems perfect. Thanks.
Yeah, it was the Hoang Linh hotel. Only a block away from Cho Han market and a super short walk away from the Dragon Bridge. ^^
Yo I got that same shirt!
Will you revisit Da Nang?
Yes, I'd love to go back to Da Nang and at one point I had even considered moving there. But right now, I don't know when I'll be able to visit any country due to the pandemic. Vietnam's borders are closed to tourists still.
Good to see you happy. Your channel should be called feeding the cory. Peace!
+Samsung Shield Uhmmmm...... it IS called "Feed The Cory"...... Hahaha
Man I dont know what Durian is but I just love the coconut jelly desserts wish I could taste that
It's pretty easy to make. I think you can find some recipes online and make it at home if you have access to coconuts at your supermarket. ^^
ban co thay vui khi di vn khong
Can anyone tell me which hotel is it in the beginning of the video? Thanks!
It's the Hoang Linh Hotel. ^^
Danang ever been part of south or north vietnam country before being same country
Yummy
Indeed, so much good food in Da Nang! Barely even scratched the surface.
I might even move down to the Da Nang area at the end of 2018... or maybe early 2019!
I love it down there. ^^
Feed The Cory ohhhh good for you it seems a lovely place hope you will enjoy and be happy
Awesome vlog Cory^^ Quick question. Is there a road cycling presence in Ha Noi? I'm an avid roadie and would like to bring my bike there when I come. Thanks again for all your hard work! Cheers^^
Hanoi is a motorbike city, it's 98% of all the vehicles you'll see on the road here.
But, there are a number of expats who enjoy cycling, so yes, there are road cyclists here.
Search on Facebook for "Vietnam bicycle" and you'll see some groups pop up.
Vietnam is also a destination for people to ride motorcycles from north to south for an epic road trip.
Cyclists do the same, it's about 1,800km journey from Hanoi to Saigon.
Thanks so much!!
Damn Cory you are having too much fun and eating too much how do manage all this at such a young age
hahaha I'm not too young... I'm 36 going on 37 this year. Much closer to 40 than 20. hehehe
well you keep yourself looking good cause you dont look that old more like in your 20's enjoy life Im jealous all that food yum yum
Nice video thanks but it would have been useful to know the prices of all those dishes
Did you even watch the video?
Prices are listed in VND and USD on the screen. lol
@@CoryMay81 Sorry, my apologies, I missed them somehow, thanks.
Just curious, what do you do for a living? Do you teach English like you did in Korea?
Freelance video production, graphic design, copywriting, editing, art commissions, etc.
Any jobs that I can get to help pay bills and rent.
Also part-time English teaching/tutoring to supplement my income.
That will probably become more of a full-time thing as freelance work isn't so reliable all of the time.
Lucky you had that 3rd hand Vietnamese gfs are awesome.
lol Yeah, what people don't see is me feeding her as well. ^^
@@CoryMay81 do you need a moto bike license in da nang as a tourist?
What is the name of the hotel you stayed in Da Nang?
It was the Hoang Linh hotel. Thanks for watching!
Your musical choices are outstanding in this video! I just think the feeding thing is a minor annoyance.
I'm glad you enjoyed the music. The artist Soundcloud links are in the description box. Show them some support and check em out!
Corey, if you were going to spend the year in Vietnam,where would you prefer? I'm torn between Hanoi and Da Nang.
I've been living in Hanoi for almost 9 months now.
And I've been to Da Nang twice.
If I could choose, I'd go for Da Nang because I love the beach there.
The food and vibe of central Vietnam is just sooooo nice. I'm heavily considering moving there late this year or early next year.
We'll see how it goes... hehehe
What is the name of the hotel?
It was the Hoang Linh Hotel. ^^
Those fish look like sucking loach. Are they?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrinocheilus
Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. Looks exactly like them.
Just saw the gf on Insta. Congrats!
Thanks? So many people saying congrats, like I got married or had a baby. hahahaha
But we are doing well and have a great relationship. Very happy about that. ^^
Which hotel is that ?
+Ian Marshall We stayed at the Hoang Linh hotel, 142 Bach Dang street, Hai Chau district.
Hi which Hotel do u stay in Danang?
We stayed at the Hoang Linh Hotel in Da Nang. ^^ Hope this helps.
Couldn’t hear you very well though ...
+Crystal Wynn I'm sorry about that. In the noisy parts in the market, it's tough to hear. Just so much background noise. Next adventures I'll need to wear my lav mic. I try to film without it because it's annoying setting up and stuff and I don't want to just wear it all day long. I'll have to make better practice habits of that. Audio is crucial!
Feed yourself please.. that's just hard to watch.
+deaksbear I'm sorry it is difficult for you to watch my girlfriend feed me. It's a part of my life and new adventures in Vietnam so filming it is no big deal for me. I think it adds to the fun! It will.probably happen in future videos, so fair warning. Thanks for your feedback! ^^
Cory, when can we meet your girlfriend?
Most likely never. She has requested not to show her face or talk in any of my videos.
But there's a chance I'll post some pictures on Instagram/Facebook @FEEDTHECORY and you might see her face. ^^
You guys eat all the time! Don’t know how you stay skinny!
Trust me, I'm not skinny. hahaha
I think my Korean genes have helped a bit in that regard.
I gotta start actually working out to build muscle tone, I used to be ripped like a mofo in my early 20's, swimming every single day in Hawaii, surfing all the time. T'was the good old days. hahaha Now I'm soft and pudgy... definitely dad-bod status now.
Please don't look at the camera when you're eating, the eye contact is awkward.
Never had anyone request this before. LOL
Maybe don't look at my eyes? So funny. hehehehehe
Hahaha, it's just when you chew/drink, otherwise it's cool.
In general when a person is doing something and they look in your eyes it's awkward, few examples:
Cutting wood when looking someone in the eyes
Washing dishes when looking someone in the eyes
Cleaning shoes...
All of these are perfectly normal activities, but once you add the eye contact it definitely changes something.
Love your videos but the being fed part is seriously icky. I know it's not your intent but it translates on video as certain stereotypes that are pretty awful. I'm glad you're happy, but remember, we only see one side of it (which is fine) but this can lead to misunderstanding and awkwardness. I wish you much off camera feeding of each other though!
+Denise LeBlanc Thank you for your feedback. I like to know what people think about different aspects of my filming, editing, etc.
Can you elaborate about the ickiness and certain stereotype that is awful? (You can PM me if you wish)
I'm pretty open-minded and sensitive to all types of possible situations/misconceptions/etc, but I am not seeing why my girlfriend feeding me is negative.
Is her feeding me a sterotype that Asian women who feed their men are subservient slaves? Am I being disrespectful towards Marie? (Marie knows everything about my GF including what she looks like, etc.)
I want to know exactly what struck a chord with you so I can be more aware of any issues that may arise in the future for you and possibly other viewers.
Anything negative is obviously unintended. Once again thank you for your feedback! I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video. ^^
Is that why your marriage ended because of the girlfriend?
+Rosie Love No. We divorced almost 6 months ago for other private reasons, while I was still in Korea. I met my Vietnamese girlfriend 2 months after moving to Vietnam. There is zero connection.

I'm glad to hear that you weren't cheating on Your wife. Thank you for replying.
