Yes when we stay district 3 in Saigon and a neaghbor has nice sign spaghetti bolanise. But just reheat in microwave vary yucky not fresh! They keep use same batch until finished....😒😑🤨

Phillipines say yes yes yes ! I'm shore loss of face doesn't allow a comfortable feeling for them to say No generally..... western culture has to read between the lines..... 😊

Was this during February? When does it snow there then ?

The average person in Vietnam makes in a year what was stolen from you that day. No joke, that person probably crapped their pants later on.

I like your take and insight. I lived in Hanoi for 8 months working full time in the corporate world and travelled to Danang and its on my list of places to retire. I am in my 50s and pretty much can afford to retire anywhere I wish in SE Asia which I will do next year. I like your guide and recommendations. If I may give you some advice: I was there 8 months and did learn the basics of the language as I think we all should when in a foreign land as a token of respect to the natives as well as to make life easier. FYI in Vietnamese the TR is pronounced Ch. So, for example Na Trang is pronounced Na Chang or the common last Vietnamese name Tran is pronounced Chan. And I am so sorry Da Nang has a soft A vowel sound on the Nang. Love your video. Please do not take this the wrong way.

In Johannesburg last year we' were spending about 300 usd a month, so how can Da Nang be the cheapest in the world?

we all use google maps. why don't travel vids show where it is on google maps? or better yet, put a link in description to the google maps pin drop would be very helpful. other than that, thank you for this compilation video. very helpful and informative.

be careful when you get out of saigon airport taxi touts will ask you need taxi but they do not take you to the taxi rank .they take you round the corner to a private car who will charge you double when you get to your hotel . always use a taxi meter at the taxi rank

Turkey is Islam no ? If they are , how can you be able to buy alcahol ?

thanks

Don't. Don't EVER trust anyone with your business and money in Vietnam.

Bulgaria still the best country for freelancers. But did you ever take a look at Malta? Maybe you should take a look if you can’t stand the weather in Bulgaria and they also have an interesting tax scheme. Good luck!

So cool video. I am from Düsseldorf.

the people in DaNang are much nicer and the vendor don't have the haggle price compare to the other cities

Except for the growing out-of-control too-loud open-air drunken karaoke craze, Da Nang is probably the best East-Asian city.

Yes, Vietnam is surely cheaper, but like you both hinted early in your video, Malaysia is nice. Very nice. English widely spoken. Infrastructure better. Medical care quite good. No guns. Excellent mix of foods. Wonderful friendly people too. I agree, KL is a bit much of an urban jungle so I am heading to Penang for retirement. The overall vibe there is just perfect for me.

Can you pick up euros at the bank teller machine in Antalya?

Vietnam culture does not accept foreigners. Foreigners will always remain foreigners. On top of that Da Nang is big business city, not welcoming. In general, avoid Da Nang, or even Vietnam, as a place to stay.

Niemals Türkei. Politisch hätte ich hier ein riesen Problem, auch die Religion lägt Zwänge auf.

Vietnam government is happy with limited tourism...the last thing they want is to turn the place into Thailland or Bali....thank heaven.

The Han river is actually the nicest place of Da Nang. It feels to me you only lived in the tourists area.

camoon. 1000 USD per person from europe is very cheap for flight.

Try Vung tàu much cheaper and better. I am from USA and research to see which city’s is working for us to retire in VN and Vung Tau is the best.

Sorry to hear u lost phone... but not just vn. U could get rob any where... People got rob in EU lost 5 passports, cash, tickets ,all papers that could identify themselves.... this ruin their trip.....

Are you moving to my hometown cologne?

Anywhere you go, you have to be careful. PERIOD. I am Vietnamese. I travel to Vietnam EVERY year 2 times at least. Still, I have my cross-body bag in front of me (and one hand on the bag so they know you are being careful). My phone is in my front pants' pocket. I don't talk on phone while walking. If I need to make a call, I stop, go near a business or house, my back against the wall and facing the street watching out for snatchers. JUST BE CAREFUL.

What is the weather like in December? My understanding is that it is rainy throughout? I want to visit between the 23rd and 30th of December.

ooh you've lived in Vietnam for 1 year, you understand almost everything about the culture, people, and historical sites in Da Nang

It's called ripping off the tourists, happens far too often.

Thanks for the deep dive! I'm moving to Da Nang in January. I have a lot of friends there, mostly teachers. Here's a tip about traveling from the airport to Hoi An: During peak tourist seasons, pre-booking transportation is recommended, but sharing rides can still be an option if you find other travelers. Da Nang airport can get quite busy, so using official taxi services or Grab is safest. While some taxi drivers will offer to share their WhatsApp or Zalo for return trips, it's better to use official booking channels or your hotel's transfer service for reliability and safety. If you plan to stay long-term, a trusted grab driver can be arranged through reputable companies, though expect to pay $100-300 monthly for regular service depending on your needs. Don't try to drive your own motorbike though - I've seen too many accidents. People aren't used to this kind of traffic. If you're not an experienced motorbike driver, stick to Grab.

it is the new world order that is making the cost of living so high.

We will be missing you two with the beautiful videos "made in Vietnam"! Goodbye for now. Best wishes on your new journey. (next time if you come back, let me hold your phone upon arrival...with a big smile and yet free of charge)

Is it cold in kuala lumpur before and after Christmas day?

Love yous presentation skills and thank you for the very good info. (Fly to anywhere from Vietnam. Brilliant. Case by Case. Love it!). Some tips: Humdity is not measured in degrees. 'It gets really hot' is not really a good indicator. (I grew up in Singapore. I love 32 and higher). Maybe good idea to mention why someone would pay for your guide? FB is free. Driving licence not valid? (I am Dutch / Spanish and can drive in Vietnam). 'If you're older'? Uuuum. I'm 67 and have more energy and fun than most 'kids'. You are from another country, the locals are not or maybe, I misunderstood. "Lots of coffee shops". Now, I understand why there are so many Dutch there. 😂

Very informative, thenk you. I noticed in many vids of S.E Asia clear blue skies but sadly in Germany chemtrails prevail.

Are this in US $?

I have been travelling for almost 20 Years...the only place I had a robbery was Paris, the only 2 places with a violence problem "sexual assault" was Paris and Japan.... So .. be carefull everywhere ...i'm in Hanoi right now , and of course something could happen...but it's not the place...it's the traveller that is distract or have bad luck....show your phone in Paris sacre couer and then tell me what happen.

I am Turkish and moved to Germany 2 years ago. I did not like the never ending bureucratical issues here and for me life is hard in Germany. I have a very good level German and Germany provides 2nd citizenship, so I chose Germany. The main problem in Turkey is poorness. It is better to be poor in Germany than in Turkey. But if you have a good job and earn well and if you do not have kids, Turkey can be more attractive. Because in this case as someone who earn well, you pay a lot of tax and cannot benefit from the social benefits in Germany. After 2 years in Germany, I can tell that I am bored of the problems I have to manage here and looking forward to the next move. And I do not recommend anybody to come here, especially if you do not speak German.

I want to go to Antalya so thank you for the guide

@Olga & Renee: thank you for the comparison, extremely helpful. For me because I’m gluten free & allergic to soy like Renee, I love Thai food better because they can accommodate & cater for someone like myself than Vietnamese food. I’ll visit both countries & see which one I like most, but leaning towards Thailand for long-term option & a base in between slow travel 3-6 months.

Thank you so much for sharing your hard-learned lessons. Hopefully we won't repeat them.

Nha Trang looks really incredible, thank you so much for sharing!
