1 Year Living in Da Nang Vietnam Update | Pros and Cons 🇻🇳 ruclips.net/video/37OKjG3JiPs/видео.html
Living outside the US debunks the greatest and most EXPENSIVE MYTH. There is LIFE ELSEWHERE, you may feel a bit of nostalgia sometimes, but as soon as you come back for a little while, YOU BEGIN TO FEEL AWKWARD about SOME THE INSANITY THAT GOES ON HERE. Many years ago after spending 22 years in New York, I moved to Florida because I realized that in Miami there was LIFE AFTER FIVE. Later on I begun spending time in my native country of Haiti and the neighbouring Dominican Republic where I literally live VERY COMFORTABLY UNDER $600 A MONTH which would cost me several thousands in the US. Living outside of western culture can be a very SPIRITUALLY RENEWING EXPERIENCE. LIFE BEGINS TO MAKE MORE SENSE. Most of all you can live without FEAR OF YOUR NEIGHBOURS.
Thanks for that. I'm in Florida and looking at Asia. The Philippines seem the most US friendly. As a vaccine for Covid gets closer I am getting more nervous about leaving my "stuff" behind and starting with a suitcase and ambition. It's scary but I believe in what you wrote. That it's a good thing.
How'd u live under $600 in the DR with health insurance costs, air conditioning, and a furnished secure apt.?
We’re going to moving to Vietnam for retirement and this all you videos is good to me understand how to live life in Vietnam ... thanks
I plan to interview some people who retired here 😁. Hope to see you here soon :)
Definitely. If you have any specific retirement questions let me know also :)
Watch your money here. Things are often far cheaper than it will be prices for you. Example: In Hoi An (15 min from Old Town) house --(Fully funished with AC in each room) big rooms - 3 floors, 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom, big living room / dining room area, garden, pool on top floor...$900 a month and can go for less maybe 750-800. Same type of place here in Da Nang and the owner asking $1,800/month. Make good friends here and have them help you.
Better yet make some Viet friends from around your area then when you retire here meet up with their family in VN.
Same here, I may retire in Vietnam.
The sound that bread makes when you bite into it is enough to get me on a plane lol
if you know, you know! 😉
Vietnamese French bread is amazing!
LOL
Hard rolls are on the US East Coast, not hard to find
If you are not picky, you can find a banh mi shop at any street corner of Vietnam within a 5-minute walk. A banh mi + an iced coffee to grasp on the way. You're good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can find banh mi + pho 24/7 in Vietnam
Living overseas is SUPER easy. The reward - in terms of excitement, growth potential and enduring life-satisfaction - of living outside of your own country and culture, of 'living out of the box' is HUGE. Slugging along in a crappy life filled with stress and lacking in person reward where you are worried about the next dollar is NOT the only option, whether you are young or old. Another great to-the-point video, Ralph.
That lady at the restaurant was straight up picking her nose on camera hahahahah
LOLOLOLOL
10:04 I hope she wasn't serving the food!
She's like, "This is Vietnam I don't give a sh** I'll pick my nose on camera if I want to!"
Also, that merchant just came and put something in your hand while you are eating...
@@felixt.8354 When traveling to Asia you will have to get over some things like that. It is hard at times but it isn't the USA.
A cook may be cooking a bowl of something large to serve. They mix the food with a large spoon. They taste the food with the same spoon and it goes back in the pot.
I pray before every meal and ask for protection. Never been sick
There are many many cheap food in Vietnam and eat for under $1 per meal / $5 per day. It's healthy, amazing & delicious...
Definitely :)
😘❤
Danang is one of my favorite city. It's such a nice city and everything is so cheap compared to other big cities
I went 2 years ago .
Worked in Saigon in 2007-2008.
I found Danang to be a hidden gem as well . People were naturally more honest and genuine . Can’t believe how many RUclips VLOGGING in Danang these days .
I’m going back for sure :)
Trust me mate, the morning glory you ate are supposed to be shared by many people together with beers in a kind of what locals call "nhậu". I'm pretty sure Vietnamese people would be surprised to see you eating one whole dish of morning glory haha
Haha yeah. I know it was a bit different. Actually the first time I had it with rice...
Actually this is untrue. Morning glory dish like this is usually a side dish for main meals as a vegetable dish. "Nhau" dishes are meant to be eaten for fun while socializing, kind of like tapas or bar food. Morning glory is a swamp vegetable that grows in abundance. This dish is fine eaten alone, but is considered a side dish, not a nhau dish at all. Source: am part Vietnamese
Whenever I order a large dish like Pho at a Vietnamese restaurant here in Canada, I wonder what people there would think. Is that big guy eating all that soup himself? The difference between a medium and large is $1 why not?
So u gave up on Asia?
FOOD $1/day is possible. 5 yrs ago, my friend and I had lunch at an outdoor market (street stall vendor) in Saigon. We each had a bowl of vermicelli, tops with grill pork, some greens, and 1 eggroll. The total lunch for two was $4,000 Dong = $0.17 Cents USD. The exchange rate was $1 USD = $$24,000 Dong. The stall vendor has 4 small stools(1-foot height) for customers to sit. lol. The food was good. That same bowl in US would have cost about $5.50. Imagine that! My head spins every time I think about it. Best $.17 Cents spent! There are plenty of outdoor market street stall vendors. The smaller the stall vendors, the cheaper it will be.
Do you know why the meal was so cheap?Cause the vendor is in outdoor market, don't have to pay for renting.
price of your 1 day meal absolutely was not bad at all and it would cost me about 35-40 dollars if i have the same meal as yours in australia.Please show me around now after you r full of local food,thanks mate love your informative video
Thanks a lot... I will keep them coming :)
I love you two.... you make me smile with each post enjoy Vietnam! Enjoy the people! Go out of your way to make friends with the Buddhist monks they are very cool people!🙏❤️🙏
I just came across your channel randomly. I live in Vietnam (Saigon) also and I also moved here from Florida (Tampa). I've been living here about 5 years. You can eat cheap, but you need to be extra careful about food safety. Most of those local food stalls don't have much in the way of sanitation, hand washing, refrigeration, or proper dish washing. Anyhow, I watching a few of your videos today. They're good. You'll probably have a bunch of subscribers soon. I just started a channel a few months ago. I'm working on improving my skills. Anyhow, keep up the good work!
Hey. Great to hear... :). When we go to Saigon maybe we can go for lunch or show us some spots :)
Love your video content! I am a Vietnamese living in Japan and actually considering to go back to Vietnam as of all the things that happening in the world right now. Watching your videos made me much more motivated :) Thanks much and all the best ^^
Actually we would like to visit Japan this year... Add me on Instagram or Facebook. Maybe we can meet and have lunch one day...
❤😘
Prices are similar to Local food here in Bangkok. Even at Food courts in large
Shoppingmalls are around 1.50-2 USD
I've been to Chiang Mai twice, Bangkok is a place I'd like to visit in the near future actually...
@@RalphClescaVlogs Well. Thailand is pretty much
soon Virus free. only singel digits reported daily for the past weeks. and i hear Vietnam
is also recovering from the outbreak!
Ralph Clesca definitely Check out Krabi and hit up the Islands you will enjoy it
Ah. Great. I will add that to the list...
I saw the article about you and Christina in the Miami New Times. Glad you're enjoying VN!
ah haha, where did you see it? are you in Miami?
@@RalphClescaVlogs I am from Los Angeles, CA. I did a google search on VN and the article came up which lead me to your YT channel. It was entitled: Miami Couple Explains Why Vietnam Has Had Success Against Coronavirus. Written by Ryan Yousefi.
Ralph Clesca I just searched that article. That must be cool for you, huh? 😍
He's got that baby smooth face. Glowing.
Don't forget international health insurance costs, utilities, transportation, miscellaneous and entertainment, visa costs and runs.
Being able to live on those prices are great as long as one doesn't return to a high price country with no family to help buffer against sticker shock. Or U'll end up homeless.
Love your videos Ralph!, I'm 64 and plan to retire next year. I also happen to adore Vietnamese people and food! I really think Vietnam is the place for me. I am single , but i am betting i wont be too lonely. Keep up the good work!!
Nice to hear Marc... Haha I don't think you ll be too lonely 😅
Me too, I am retired now and can’t wait to go back home VN , I was in HCM CITY last October. You will find lots of retired people on Pham Ngu Lao Town ( D 1 , HCM CITY ) , Good luck on your plans.
hahaha...becareful there young man...Vietnamese women are way more than you can handle...from a 50 yrs old Vietnamese man...lol
@@vicky4phuongusa112 I don't think Pham Ngu Lao Town. It is the tourist quarter for young travelers, party goers. That is why it is called "phố Tây ba lô" (quarter for young travelers with backpack)
I have a job interview on Tuesday hopefully I will be there soon! You two are adorable! Good luck with the channel!
Craig Henri good luck to you
How you got the Job interview
From Vietnam 🇻🇳 👌 good for You
Craig..🇺🇲🇻🇳🍻🦞🦀🏊♀️🏊♂️I will go
To Da Nang at Summer maybe in may..
Dude! you sew made my mouth water I got caught in North America when they shut down the air space in Vietnam I’ve been away for four months and I miss everything about it I never thought I would say this but I am so homesick as to make me crave DaNang
Wow-great video- here in Miami, that juice would have been like $6 🤣 great message!!
No doubt about it! haha I used to go Palacio Del Jugo quite a bit, I would buy a Liter of Coconut Water for $10. Here I get that for $2 !
I recently bought my mom a juice here in NYC. The lady told me $9.89. I almost slapped her! LOL jk, you can imagine I was pissed bc I watched this video prior going to pick the juice up. I really need to get out of NYC as a whole asap. I'm so done here. Born & raised but between the Hipsters taking over & driving everything up & the over expensive prices in america alone, I've had enough. I am going to truly live now & build my wealth leaving the states. I seriously look forward to it. Salud.
The vegie they cooked is call water spinach, one of my favorite vegie dish when stired fried with garlic and shrimp paste. In Viet Nam water spinach are the daily vegetable for the poorest people, but one of my favorite dishes.
Thanks for a awsome video!!!!
$500 is about 11-12 millions dong, which is really decent. You can live comfortably with that amount of money even in Hanoi - the most expensive city in Vietnam. My dad supports the whole family on a 12-million monthly salary, paying tuition fees for 2 children.
Wow... That is great to know... I always wondered what a normal family spends here... Thanks a lot for this info !
Actually, Saigon is the most expensive city in Vietnam. The living expenses are double comparing to Hanoi or Da Nang. My favorite city in VN is Da Nang by the way. I hope not many Chinese living in Da Nang.
@@lightning6718 bạn nói đùa à . chi phí đắt đỏ là Hà Nội . còn tiêu nhiều là SG . chứ chi phí các món ăn HN đều cao hơn các nơi trên khắp vn. Tôi ko biết bạn đã thử ở cả 2 nới chưa mà lại bảo gấp dồi . thật buồn cười .
Hanh Nguyen oh gosh. I have same salary 12 mil VND in Hanoi but i can not save any penny
You save money by not eating out. This makes a big difference.
Da Nang Vietnam is now on my "To Visit" list when and if the world opens up again for travel.
Feeling crazy hungry when i see “banhmy”, bro. Thank you for loving my hometown. Watching from USA with love.
haha... i'm hungry thinking about it right now too haha... I notice quite a bit of Vietnamese who are currently in the US right now watching my videos :) do you plan to come back sometime to visit or just checking for fun :)?
Ralph Clesca i am studying abroad and i am going to move back to Danang next year. It have been 5 year since i leaved and alot things change better. I happy about that.
5 yrs. alot more traffic now and the icean is alot closer. Completely diff from 5 yrs ago.
Nice job Ralph. Proud of your adventure keep it up. I’ve been here in Chiangmai Thailand for five years. And I love living in Thailand. I was about to begin enjoying vacations in Vietnam when this pandemic rolled around. I’m scared to death to go back to the United States because I don’t think Thailand will let me come back for a long time. But I want to go back and sell five more of my houses. I sold four of them last year. I didn’t leave the US until I was 62 receiving $800 a month on Social Security. But I was Super productive in my life in the US. So I don’t have to scream I live like a king. Congratulations on your adventures
It's been a while since I was in Vietnam but prices seem to be the same. Thank you for the info. Stay safe. From us
I paid almost $17 dollars here in the US for that much jackfruit 😭
Haha... YUP I know what you mean haha
I don't know how much I really enjoy watching your videos Ralph. It's nice if you have English subtitle on your videos that will help all the people around the world learn English and enjoy watch video as the same time.
Ah, that is something I will work on adding in the future... :) Thanks for the reminder Linh :)
Linh oi you can use auto translation with setting button )) quite close to the meaning
@@HuongNguyenThi-of5ve I got it. Thanks
True... Thanks Huong :)
Every thing are really very cheap in VietNam. you don't need to worry about pricing here. VietNamese peoples are really friendlly. there are a lot of landscapes very nice here ( Ba Na hill....), i hope that you guy can make a video about landscapes here. in spite of vietnam still have a lot of problems, but VietNam is one of safe places during corona viruss.
I watched your video, I don't know why, but I really liked it. I think you should write English subtitle, it can help everyone watch more easily
I plan to to do some videos about some landscapes there yet... if you any specific ideas, please send them my way ;) Thanks a lot Chung :)
@@RalphClescaVlogs you are right in the middle of it...just a few miles out of Da Nang ...just point your camera 360. You will be amazed
LOOOOOVE that you were on “My street”, i.e. Chau Thi Vinh Te!!!! The place were you got your after dinner “sweets” is totally bang for your buck and you are so right to mention that she completely accommodates ones requests, whatever these may be :) You guys rule!! thank you so much for blessing us with your awesome, genuine, insightful videos, keep it up!
Wow, so close. You must know Puna Cafe on An Thuong 10 then.
Hello, from California, US. The noise of karaoke and people activity really make me homesick. I miss Vietnam so much, especially the tennis court where people play tennis with beach volleyball wooden racket.
😂😂😂😂😂 I was expecting a chopstick in the beginning but nah😂 he used a spoon. Subscribed immediately.
Thank you Ralph 🙂 your videos are very useful for us, I got out from Da Nang just before covid pandemic spread and i am waiting to come back to.
I follow all your videos...
Take care
Under $5 U.S. a day to eat here is totally doable. Maybe a bit harder than it was 5 yrs ago but still you can. Want more variety then up it to $7/8 a day...$10 if you really wana splurge.
Exactly :)
Vietnamese cuisine paradise, and everything is cheap. The country and people of Vietnam are very friendly. pleasant temperate climate. Wish those who come to Vietnam to travel are also happy, happy and have many beautiful memories about the country and people of Vietnam. If you haven't come to Vietnam yet, please arrange a time and come to the country and people here once. Surely you will be satisfied and feel great when coming to Vietnam to experience memories. You can choose Vietnam as your 2nd hometown, which is too great. Vietnam loves all skin colors, all ethnic groups in the world. Vietnam loves peace
Well done, young man. New subscriber.
Thank a lot Buddy :) I will do my best to put out good stuff for you :)
the dish name is :
rau muong xao( rau muống xào). Odd to see someone eat this with bread but it's delicious to see you eat.
All that food makes me want to go back to Vietnam. That morning glory veggie dish looks like the one. I gotta check out Da Nang when I go back. Hopefully sooner rather then later.
Man we just came out of lockdown. I'll be going all out
Morning glory is also known as water spinach. Very delicious. It's a weed and grows everywhere. But again it's super delicious. I like your video. Very cool
Hey :) actually we were talking about that this morning haha... our friend made it for us with Pumpkin Leaves and we liked it even more than the water spinach :) Try it sometime :)
I know you can eat however you like but that morning glory plate is supposed to be eaten with steam rice.
Yes. The first time I ate it a year ago with rice and loved it :) but last time I tried this I kept it very basic because I enjoyed the bread and the sauce so much :)
You & Christine do nice work. Have seen many others, but have sorted out good from bad. U come in on the former. U show the very cheap side along w all other options. Higher rents r justified & worth it! Great value, but I prefer very low rent, $100. if possible. For that price I'm happy w dwelling & have sh*t load of $ to use for food & goodies. Starting to really like Vietnam.
Hey Ralph, Morning Glory is called Kang Kong in the Philippines. It is also one of my favourites. Otherwise known as water spinach. I am re-watching your videos because I think I will head to Vietnam soon with the restrictions now easing.
Heyyy. A friend is going there next week in fact 😃. I would like to but I'm waiting for more long term visa options to open up 🤗
Wow, this is the first time I see someone eat stir-fried morning glory with bread. The place you had dinner may be a drinking place, and stir-fried morning is one of most popular drinking food as it gives you balance after so much protein consumption when drinking. It is also a dish in our daily meal, but to eat with rice and other dishes, not to eat alone. If you want to try a real Vietnamese dinner you should go to places where sell full meal with rice, veggies and meat (or fish, chicken - you can choose) included. And this kind of meal is still cheap, about 1 or 1,5USD.
You and your wife are so down to earth n good people. I wish you all the happiness in my far away hometown 🙏🏼
Việt Nam tuyệt vời lắm các bạn nhé . Ở Việt Nam ko phân biệt chủng tộc :)) Thức ăn ở Việt Nam rất ngon :)) Người Việt Nam rất thân thiện và đặc biệt ở Việt Nam bạn sẽ được an toàn vì an ninh , chính trị Việt Nam rất ổn định ! ♥️🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
tôi đồng ý :)
Ralph Clesca Phải đồng ý chứ ♥️ Vì nó là sự thật 100% hihi
Hey man, just found ur channel and watched like 6 videos of urs. Great stuff, keep it up man. U gonna be big
Love this video, thanks Ralph.
Lol, no way, I never give them my small bills. If they wanna get paid, they'll take my big bills 😅😅, because the grab driver definitely don't have change. Great videos :)
Haha... gotcha
I have to tell ya...I just discovered ur channel.....ur are awsome bro....well spoken....extremely informative....I came on board....keep up the good work....I'm really thinking about a trip over there......I hear u lived in Miami for 14 years.....I lived for 5 years back in 95 to 2000.....up in north Miami beach acrossed from sunny isles beach....I'd like to touch base with ya sometime......peace out👍😎
Man, I left VN 10 years ago to live in San Jose. I almost forgot how cheap it was. You make me want to go back so much. :(
My favorite dishes here in Da Nang would be my quang, cau lau and banh xeo.. also quite cheap.. and of course banh mi if you want something quick and easy, and yea two would normally be good for me, haha
Yes, I like all of these you mentioned... :)
Spot on about the small change situation. I bought incense and soap at a local market nearby. The woman that ran the place literally grabbed my wallet and fished out only the smaller dong bills. BTW the incense contained like 800 sticks in one package...60 cents. To add, you literally ate in the same two places that I did when I visited in October. I commend your taste! Cheers
Morning glory is rau muong I think hihi. It’s fantastic. The bread is very light, fluffy, n so tasty.
The original baguette from France is heavier/ thicker because there is too much dough inside and it’s hard to stuff it with meat/veggies and eat without the fillings spilling out, so the Viet made the baguette lighter, fluffy with less dough inside for the fillings , and when freshly eaten out of the oven, it has that soft crunch on the outside when you take a bite..
Aw you know about that :) haha yes it's very unique :)
I’m from Cali USA n thanks for video of my hometown Danang 👍🏼. Good vid
Great video. Now I am hungry for Pho!
Haha... now you are making me want to go grab one 😆
I’m starting to like ur channel! Can u do more videos on the local food?
Very good video. Thanks😀😀
😂😂😂😂😂idk why I started laughing @7:28 😂😂😂bruh
Morning glory is eaten with rice and other dishes. But whatever you want to do
Banh mi in the US, on average is about $2.75 - $3, and much better than a $5-6 hamburger or chicken sandwich.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Please continue to upload!!!!
Ralph, the morning glory dishes are a side dish to eat along with other side dishes and rice. Lol I like how you just went for it.
Avocado smoothies oh my god you’re making me so homesick
Hi, I am a Viet Nam Veteran, US. Enjoyed my stay ( minus the war). Stayed with a family in Danang. Would like to communicate privately.
Ralph, have you done a video yet of how you found your apartment? Like the process you went through....and maybe talk about air conditioning?
Nope. But that is the next group of videos I plan to work on actually...
If you guys are familiar with "Xôi", you can have 3 meals for 2USD/day in Vietnam
Hey Ralph, you're making me want to go live there! I was planning on going to the Philippines but you are making me think
Thank you for the great video! I've never been to Vietnam but we are very intrigued at the prospect of retiring early and spending some time in SE Asia. Your video was very informative and straightforward...new subscriber alert!!
Thanks a lot for the kind words Dave :) good to have you :)
@@RalphClescaVlogs Hey brother...my wife and I are watching your 'Grocery Shopping' video right now and we both love it! After watching countless videos on other channels, I want to point out what makes your video so great....you take your time in clearly recording prices for items that you buy! As a future visitor (maybe ex-pat retiree), having that type of clear and concise knowledge is so critical to understanding why Vietnam is so affordable. When I see that bananas cost $1.79 per kilo, I have a reference point to compare with prices in the US. It's amazing how very few vloggers offer this information like you do - that is what people want to see! Keep up the good work and we will keep watching to support your channel....thank you!!
Over 55, the school's will not hire you, I am 67 a former Canadian teacher. 2 schools said maybe private tutor students. Canada visa is only 30 days.
morning glory is rau muống or water spinach...
Hi, what's the situation with street food & restaurants with the following:
low sodium in all food
zero MSG in food
Vegan options
Vegetarian options
Brown rice
I believe if that s what s what you care about... You should be here already :) Vietnam checks the box for all of those... Obviously if you no sodium. You d have to request. But their foods are not naturally packed with it. Thats why they have soy sauce at all the tables. Everything else you mentioned are no problem at all here...
@@RalphClescaVlogs thanks so things like vegan burgers are not an issue? and how do you know if the food is without MSG?
@@RalphClescaVlogs just seen the vegan video! dude I should there!
Morning glory is just garnish my man not a meal but no stress you are good man i subscribed
At 6:57 I probably enjoy the dish with steamed rice instead of bread.
There are no tip after you have meals as well 😅😅😅
I don't know why they called it "morning glory" but it looks like "rau muong xao" in Vietnamese, or stir-fried ong choy (water spinach) in English to me. It's one of my favorite and it's hard to find it here in the grocery stores in the states.
How do you compare Vietnamese coffee with Cuban coffee in Little Havana in Miami?
Ralph. It's recommendable to order a pair of "Quẩy" pronounced: Kwei. A chinese influenced of deep fried bread. Dip Quẩy into your Breakfast like the local guy in the background in your breakfast clip.
Lots of VNmese broths, like Phở, Banh Canh having Quẩy accompanied. When you are in Rome, do ... the VNmese do, at least for the flavour of your venture
Yes. Actually I didn't know what it was but they gave me some and I liked it :) I tried it may e the week after this video :)
What was in the breakfast soup? Looked like chicken- beef broth? Thanks
It was a fish soup... so tasty! :)
Go to Thuan An city Binh Duong province price for food also the same but flavor are different
Don't you have 'banh-mi' breakfast sandwiches there? They should also be around 20k dong. It's where east and west meets up -- in a sandwich. (heh, he got one for lunch ... just for 12k!)
Loving your videos dude. I am from a Caribbean background also and thinking about getting away from the U.S. for a year; currently living in Fort Lauderdale area. Lived in Okinawa for several years and still have family there; have been to Thailand and some other countries in the area. I was thinking Vietnam next time around because I have never been there. How did you initially find a long term crib when you moved to Vietnam? Did you stay in a hotel first?
We stayed in an Airbnb for a week. Then we asked and walked around till we found a one we liked, moved again a few months later but that is what I recommend everybody does, come here and ride around, don't spend too much time searching online... Usually it's not what you re expecting...
retired in Daytona, FL.....from NYC......I would like to visit, but do not ride motorbikes.....I'm active, just a fear of them.......how is getting around on buses and public transport, taxi, etc?
Ralph Godbless you n your beautiful wife. Could you please do a video showing the cost/living differences between the provinces?. Is it better to be North? South? Central? Does the food change by provinces like Thailand?
Good idea ... I will look into this actually...
There’re Banh mi Phuong very delicious and the desert che Lan (Thai Durian if you can manage!) worth to try in Danang.
Your wife’s facial expression to “morning glory “ is funny. It doesn’t seem like you eat much Vietnamese food.
Haha just recently started eating much more Vietnamese food... You are correct. Up to this point. Not much... Because it s so easy to order anything here :)
@@RalphClescaVlogs Did you try "trái sa kế chiên"? It will be a perfect replacement for French fries. I missed it here in the U.S.
No, that's not typical VN banh mi :) I guess it's typical local "xe banh mi" but the much better ones are probably in the range of 40K each, not 12K.
Had a Banh Mi in Hoi An I'll never forget it was that good. Still can't believe your lunch cost 12,000VND! Also, My mum is Vietnamese and I can vouch for the unripe fruit. Barely ripe bananas are a staple, even unripe mangos dipped in sugar/fish sauce/chilli. Just tastes better that way hahaha
Yeaaa, takes a while to get used to haha
What is the tipping culture in Vietnam? Are tips expected. Many places I have traveled to with high tourism expected even though it's not traditional in their area.
Has anybody lived in the Philippines and Vietnam? If so which on is better?
Thanks for sharing!
Bruh here in the U.S I be paying like almost 10 dollar for a bowl like that....
Good video👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟
Great video!!
Is that Sriaccha in your cabinet? Did you buy it there, we are waiting for Covid19 to end before we move out there!
Haha you have good eyes... Yes. That is my maximum spicy level lol. The chilis here are no joke. And I don't play wit that lol. I bought it at Mega Market.
Awesome cause I’m starting to pack sauces to bring there and so glad to hear sriaccha is over there one less thing I need to bring hahah! My husband thinks I’m nuts cause I seriously want to pack one suitcase full of sauces. Thanks!
@@thetravelingchews no need to...they have everythings in the supermarket
I am very frugal, so living on $1000.00/month would work for me. The big problem is actually moving there. Passports, visas, flights, etc.
Yes. Once the pandemic slows down it ll be easier... Right now is a bit tough...
8:00 lol🤣 , i never seen anybody eat bread with garlic saurce
WHATTT! It is sooo good lol
Tomorrow is my final exam and i cant stop watching your vids lol
Hey Ralph, thinking of going to Da Nang. Do they quarantine right now for two weeks when you enter through the airport?
I was there 3 years ago. Missed it so much!
At this very moment, yes haha Our Vietnamese friend just came back from Thailand and had to do her 14 days :)
the government isn't issuing any visas for foreigners to come into to the country for the foreseeable future, you can only stay there if you already had a visa before this all started. I'm upset too I want to move there as soon as possible!
@@RalphClescaVlogs good to know. Thanks a bunch! Looks like you and your wife are really happy there. So envy of your simple life style.
Can't wait to visit Da Nang!
All Vietnam borders are still closed now. That is why there are some Chinese who tried to cross the border illegally. Only Vietnamese citizens with Vietnamese passports can return to Vietnam on some special flights and they all have to be quarantined 14 days in the military camps. That is why I have to cancel my summer trip and stuck here in the U.S.
