I was blown away to see this video.. I spent a year at a US Army base about 2 miles from Hoi An. This, of course, was 1970-1971. I recall Hoi An as being a sleepy little town then that seemed to only exist because of the military traffic thru it. I'd LOVE to travel back to Vietnam and see Danang, Chu Lai and Hoi An where I spent the vast majority of my year there...

The reason why we have afternoon nap is because : we used to get up very early in the morning to work (4-5 am) and the temperature is so high in the afternoon(so people dont want to go out). very few people go out side for shopping at this time. and yeah it´s traditional ;)

Hoi An was my favorite place when I went to visit Vietnam. I got 3 tailored suits that are still good after 7 years! Cao Lau imo was delicious, it's said that the noodles can only be made in Hoi An because of special water from the Ba Le Well that makes the texture and taste of the noodles so good.

The French taught us that (long hrs lunch break). My dad used to have that French's style 2 hrs lunch break. He ate lunch, napped, showered, then return to work. Saturday is regular work and school day. Only Sunday off. Viet Nam was under French for so long (~80 yrs). The French's cultural is still deep in Vietnam re lifestyle and food, such as bakery, baguette bread, jambon, pate', salads. Thank you so much for the videos. I really enjoyed watching them!

I love your vlog and wish I had found you sooner! I spent 6 months in Hanoi in 2016-2017 and travelled all over Vietnam. If you ever go back, please try the Bun Cha in Hanoi. It is a northern Vietnamese dish, so you can only find it there. When President Obama went, it was his favorite dish. Bourdain also filmed an episode with him and Obama eating it together in old town. It quickly became my favorite dish! Happy Travels!

Are you sure you got the same sandwich as Anthony Bourdain? I think his was different and had a fried egg in it. Regardless, I'm sure it was still a delicious banh mi. You guys should try banh xeo, banh cuong, etc. Watch youtuber Helen's Recipes before you head back to Vietnam and try the stuff she cooks. Also, Yummies4Dummies is entertaining and Van's Kitchen and Runaway Rice have great recipes, too.

There are reasons for the hard sell strategy they have in many countries. Wich you know of course. I really like the look of this place. It spoke to my heart instantly. It looks so cozy. Rather this than fancy and sterile. However there are of course exceptings. But the cozy factor always have to be in there somehow. Cutest little alleyway. We have them in Trondheim to but they are larger. It doesent take much to be tho. LOL :D
