I think VN has the most instagrammable cafes in the world. And it's not just appearance either, the VN cafe owners are so proud of their unique decor and their products too. You feel so comfortable spending time there as they don't rush you out. It sure beat the sterile franchise cafes we have here in the US where there's no characteristic at all. Add in the low cost for the good product and services and there's no question about who has the better cafe culture.

[@Truthseeker371]

Thank you for your video. It has helped me to decide to move there from Hua Hin, Thailand. I need to refresh and enjoy more cultural and local interactions. The Vietnamese people are very hospitable, diligent, and resourceful.

Ciao Gabi! My God, some images of Hoi An are mind-blowing !! I went to Vietnam 11 years ago, but haven't had the chance to pass by this wonderful city. You made me want to go back there and visit Hoi An 😊. Looking forward to see the rest of the trip. Take care bro!

[@ridewithgabi]

Yes definitely 👍

[@kav04]

Especially in Dalat

[@alilalicee]

Gabi!!! just have been in Vietnam, spend 3 days in Hoi An and cannot agree more - it‘s a magical place. The coffee ( I love salt coffee too ❤️), the old city, the tailors ( which are kind of superhuman, can make for you shoes, bags and clothes customised within several hours), amazing vegetarian local restaurants, and generally the vibe around this place, especially when you bike around. Will definitely come back!

Actually, Korean really love Vietnamese foods and their most favourite places in Vietnam are Đà Nẵng (Hội An) - Hà Nội - Nha Trang ^^

Ive been to Vietnam 3 months ago, Hanoi, Hoi An and Halong Bay were my favorite places.

[@ridewithgabi]

Great to hear that… I never been to Hanoi and Halong bay.

[@datgal2u]

You should also visit Ninh Binh, Phong Nha, and Da Lat. "Sammy and Tommy" made amazing videos from northern Vietnam last year that even Sonny from the "Best Ever Food Review Show" complimented them. Check out the amazing video from Jaychel and others from "Adventures of A+K", "Shot in the Dark Travel" (I think they were living in Thailand and visited Vietnam and ended up falling in love so they kept making visa runs so they can travel the country for 3 months or so), and "TheDailyPackers" whom hit quite a few of the sites in northern Vietnam.

Is it me or does VN has one of the highest % of great cooks per capita ? I've eaten in fancy restaurants, small mom and pop eateries, food cart, and even local family and they all cook so well.

[@kippsguitar6539]

It's you, the food in Vietnam is one of the few negatives and only rivaled by the Philippines as the worst food in Asia, water quality is a major issue here and farmed fish contaminated, it's definitely you, Thailand and Malaysia on another level for food but Vietnam still a great place

[@20luzer52]

@@kippsguitar6539 you’re delusional but that’s your right to be. And if “it’s me”, then there must be quite a few others that also think like “me” based on the videos and prevalent of favorable comments out there regarding VN. Nice try, albeit abit pathetic, on your part to say otherwise though.

​@@kippsguitar6539Bạn đã quá sai lầm khi nói về thực phẩm Việt Nam.Việt Nam là nước sản xuất ra rất nhìu loại thực phẩm sạch từ thiên nhiên,do đó thực phẩm Việt Nam được xếp vào hàng đầu thế giới, tất nhiên không tính theo tiêu chuẩn của các Quốc gia khác.Nhưng nó là thực phẩm lành mạnh và oan toàn, đó là lý do tại sao ẩm thực Việt Nam luôn được đánh giá cao và thuộc vào hàng đầu thế giới.

Beaches are extremely bad and pollution is a major issue as in most of Vietnam beaches are a negative, hoi annis gorgeous but the beach and water quality are dreadful, the water is polluted as dumping raw sewage into the sea is the norm, south if nha Trang are some of the few beautiful beaches Vietnam has, reality

[@DaveEPie]

The motorcycle ride is only 45 minutes at most to Hoi Anh from Danang. And it’s a relaxing ride. It depends on you. Danang has everything a metropolitan city would have- malls, shops, services. Hoi Anh is a tourist destination. It very chill, but old town gets crazy busy at night. I would rather stay outside of town and just ride a motorcycle to old town than live close by. There is so much to offer in that area. Beaches, walking old town, going to the locals market. I would stay half in Danang and the other half of the time in Hoi Anh. It does get hot there, I would go during the cooler months. If it cools off at all.

Only one of us can ride a bicycle or a motorcycle so we would prefer either a car or public transport. Thank you!

You are right, Gabi, Hoi An is one of the most beautiful places in the world. If Vietnam only I would rank as follows: 1. Hoi An 2. Ho Chi Minh City (especially the 2nd district) 3. Phu Quoc (with its crazy mix of old and modern fake-towns). I did not like Da Nang, but the trip from there to the Ba Na hills is very recommended, Rainer :)
