That comment about food in Japan is 100% spot on. Forget about food reviews. Pick any restaurant, vending machine, food stalls and you're guaranteed good food. That country is exceptional.
I have lived here in Japan 30 years and people who think Japanese is great are tourists. Japanese food is generally bland and generic. But for tourists it maybe great.
Howdy, I'm stuck at home for i'm told for over a year as i cannot walk as i'm waiting for hip replacement surgery, so thanks to both of you and the Bald guy for keeping me entertained. Cheers from Maroochydore, Queensland
At what age did you start travelling and when did you decide to pick up a camera and start recording it because you influenced me to start making my own RUclips videos aswell
300k vnd for a 10 min cyclo ride" wow talk about being ripped off " the price is around 50k for 1 hour" no wonder they keep on ripping tourists off" because let them do so"
I think that these youtubers dont know prices because it doesnt really matter. Its all for views and they will make up the prices. Ben is a bit clueless on prices and doesnt seem to have good bearings on them. In Laos, the lady told him 24k kip for a night and he said it was 9 quid. Its 84 pence. Or...you could say that 9 quid is worth 257500 kip. Not sure if I would trust his numbers. Obviously some people dont keep up on exchange rates and youtubers make money off of the videos, so its all an expense anyhow (if they get a write off or have an expense account) that they cant get around. Just havent figured out if its intentional deception to show higher prices compared to what is normal so it looks like its not for everyone or what, but its not the first time I have noticed that. And they get careless too. Small Brained American will give the people a price and if they try to go over, he just walks. That is how it should be. Some people though, they hear prices and just say "well, whatever, lets do it".
No questions. Just wanted to say the thumbnail for this video is too flipping funny. You put yourself through some grief to keep us entertained. Hope the poorly foot gets better soon. All the best.
Katerina is absolutely adorable ... it's always a pleasure to see her in your videos! The outfit is perfect! Rest up, intrepid Ben, and thanks for the Q&A!
At first I was disappointed at the Q&A episode. I almost clicked off - but man you kept me entertained throughout! Love how you traveled as you answered questions. Testament to how you really get your audience - never a filler content feeling moment.
Durian is child's play compared to Surströmming, the swedish fermented herring... durian is tolerable (not good, though), but surströmming is just nuts :D the smell is way worse than durian imho
You’re going to Bhutan 🇧🇹. I here the Bhutan government charge tourist $200 a day to be there inside their country. Vietnam is one of the few countries you can fly to Bhutan.
Bhutan is very strict for tourists. It's a good thing actually, because it preserves the place. But it sucks because it's such a nice country (beautiful women, too). Although I don't think Bhutan would be ruined if they became open to tourism. Most people never heard of the place, and I'd be shocked if it got even 5% of the foreign tourists as, say, Nepal (which already gets barely any visitors).
I started watching Backpacker Ben because mr Bald was in his videos. But with time Ben has grown on me and i enjoy his videos without or without mr bald.
I’ve been watching Backpack Ben well before him & Bald started to collab. A lot of his early stuff is really legendary. Sure he comes off as a whiny Brit a lot … but it’s all part of the package.
@@jameseverard1126 the people are very friendly too but the scenery is completely different. It’s scrubland and desert with beautiful sandstone features and canyons. Look up Delicate Arch for one of the most photographed places there.
Great Q & A Ben. Good to see you on the mend . Still trying to guess your next destination , kind of hoping that despite it's exorbitant visa cost it might be Bhutan !
You both with Kat look so good together, both look so chilled and drama free ❤❤❤ What a nice couple, please, respect and value each other 🎉 Wishing you the best!
I'm born and raised in northern California! So many beautiful national parks on the west coast! Cool cities too. Hope to see you 2 in America someday 🇺🇸
Right after you had the accident, you had to clean it with whiskey - and repeat that all the time. Its not the bruise, but the bacteria there. I injured my toe nail there. I had to cut out my nail with a knife, and clean it with whiskey. When I was back in the developed world a pedicure told me I did an awesome job.
Loved this mate it’s just a must see , the wife said it’s your face that makes the food eating a joy lol cheers and appreciate all the effort in dining we love it
🌴🌴🌴 Nice to see KAT again 😊. I’m so ready to watch your next video. I liked hearing your different stories about different places and foods. Please come to California I would love to see what you find here. I’ve done a lot of traveling throughout the States but I’m sure that you would go to places that I never even thought of. Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos
I am NEVER leaving the states. Wtf I look like in a Loasian hospital. NOPE. BTW yes Ben you're quite the stunning Brit mate. And Kat is just a ball of joy.
I like the countries that you say are underated, because I have been 17 times to Brazil and love the place to bits and I am going to Uganda for the first time in 4 weeks from now 🙂
I'm guessing Bhutan or Russia as the next country. Bhutan would be great, not many vlogs from there. Be cool to see you n Kat put Bhutan on the vlogging map! Safe n happy travels wherever you end up!
Rickshaws are usually priced per person because he has to work twice as hard for two. I don't think the guy was trying to rip you off. Of course the original price he gave you was too much but that's what happens in tourist areas. Vietnam is definately a two price country.
Ben, Russia in America is Brighton Beach Brooklyn. In the winter it’s ok but the spring and summer is better because it has over 3 miles of beach. Everything is in Russian.
Why would you want to go to North Korea? I have a friend who taught English there for 5 years, sounds like a nightmare. Why would you want to pay visa money to the dictatorship anyway
Mate, just get a new passport and apply for the US visa. The afghans ain't calling the US "Btw Ben was here for tea a bisquits"😂 keep up the tremendous content!🎉🎉
Hate to be the giver of bad news Ben and Katerina, but all this food poisoning is going to catch up with you when you're older and I'm speaking from experience as a child of colonials many years ago in India, and a world traveller in my youth. My message, please be very careful from now on and you will hopefully be not too bad later in life. Really enjoy your videos btw, you are a great couple. Keep safe and best wishes from a fellow Englishman 😊👍
Any rice dishes (like plov) where they may be reheated are a no no. I would stick to potatoes or pasta. I know that's difficult in certain countries, but you're less likely to be ill.
After I saw you eating duria in Laos I googled it. People love it all over the world! There is even festivals and parties with duria lovers. And god damn expensive. Why do you dislike it so much?
Have you ever tried it yourself? It tastes awful, mixture of rotten socks, rotten cheese and rotten fruit. I almost threw up when i tried a minuscule piece.
Those rickshaw drivers are universally scammers. Mine was in Ho Chi Minh City way back 2008. I CLEARLY and Expressly said how much and he said VND30,000 (Viet Nam Dong). When I alighted, he wouldn't agree and asking for VND 500,000. And looked like he would hit me. I said I didn't have more in fact alighted not doorstep to where I stayed. It waa a short minutes ride. He kept talking but I couldn't understand him. I was younger then going to the gym, very fit and could run so I could break in a run if needed. Quickly I entered a commercial establishment, maybe he thought the lady in the store was my aunt because I told her what happened (the Vietnamese woman spoke English) and she glanced at the man who by that time reversed his siklo and left. Maybe he got conscious the Police might be called by the woman.
I first came across Ben while watching Bald and Bankrupts video of Vietnam. They had an American guy with them, who's a vlogger too. I know it was just show, but I didn't like the way he acted toward Ben. So I started follow Ben to spite him 😅Now I really like his videos 😊
Alright, I stand corrected.. the Ethiopia picture.. and the lonely backpack next to the couch in 0:55 and the full backpack self help advice in 22:33 !! Alright BackpackerBen it is
The taxi money switching scam happens with euros too. Never try to pay with a 50€ bill as they will switch it with a 10€. Had that happen to me in Rome a few months ago.

4 minutes
Ha Noi, capital of rip off. The interactions I had while there were mostly rip off opportunity for the local
Come to the USA ben!!!
Cannot get in because it so FREE

Go to Utah, rent a van, and go to all the National parks in either April or September/October. You’ll love it!

when they give you the price at the beginning dont ask what the price is at the end, just hand them what they said.

Get well soon to the both of you ;)
Go to British Columbia in Canada - you'll find a lot to film - and if you want sketchy neighbourhoods, there's plenty in Vancouver
That Taxi scam happened to me in Belgrade, Serbia. They have similar notes 20 and 200 if I remember. Great Q & A Ben & Cat!
Small backpack, small carryon for 2+ week journeys. You always end up throwing stuff away to pack in souvenirs!
